WHYYYY?????

There are a few web pages floating around with more history and photos of this particular 'treatment'

"no sale at $50,000"

On the Road at an exotics cruise

Wheels and center console are nice, and the engine looks like it could do some serious damage if asked, but I still can't come to grips with some of the other mods ... wonder if a dark purple underbody lighting kit might spice it up a bit?

Other than the headlights I don't mind the black car that much... the other one looks like something Hotwheels would make.

IMG Larry that's it. Please make it stop! Make it stop!!!!

From certain angles the black car doesn't look all that bad-from others it looks hideous. There used to be a link to the shop that built this with a ton of build up pictures but I can't find it now. There was a ton of work done to it with a bunch of custom metal fab. If I remember correctly it once had 4 headlights instead of 2.

I think the black car is a great base to start from. New headlights, fewer air intakes etc., and it would be acceptable.

I think both cars reflect the sad situation that happens when someone with great skills and craftmanship + time and money loses his way.

Well my first car was a 68 Camaro in the´80s, it had stars, text and music painted on it, and the interior was white rabbit.
OK, I didn't make it that way, but I bought it that way. To defend myself, I had it for 10 years, and it got more sensible every year, repainted it 6 times

The black one looks like a catfish!

I think given it's modern tuner look that it would greatly benefit from 20+" import style wheels.

There is a current YouTube video about the car in reference to the owner who maybe died.
