  1. OK Eelco, that picture is friggen funny!
  2. Nice, kinda looks like there should be a bunch of contraband somewhere near the trunk area
  3. SOmething screams model with this one.....not sure why, but it just does.
  4. Very nice looking build, I had to look closely when I saw the rotors behind the wheels
  5. I'm going for model too, a mighty fine model, but a model all the way. Watch, I'll be wrong and it's a recreation or restoration of an old Luftansa bus...................
  6. Are you going to lower it next?
  7. Kool!
  8. Pearl white, mainly because I loath that Champaign color on anything with a passion!
  9. These are the closest right now The van had a webber carbed SBC in it
  10. We got that in at work yesterday, it took alot of will power not to buy it before going home for the night!
  11. It's OK, but that paint/top color combo and the chromed header panel is ugly as heck!
  12. I didn't know those wheels were made in scale now too!
  13. Never mind, they're LED bars blended into the back bumper and can't easily be seen
  14. Real here too, taillights could be candied over to hide them, not exactly legal, but better than the alternative.....
  15. What happened with that Ferrari that burned up?
  16. That looks really good, wonder why GM never built it like that......
  17. Yup, if I remmeber the story correctly, this was an blue early model 440 Magnum car that was used for regular R&D within Chrysler then was "retired" and then turned into a factory backed street.
  18. KEWL! It's just begging for a Vintage V8 in the back......maybe an early Caddy, Hemi, Supercharged Ford 312, Or even a built Flathead or 348 Chevy!
  19. Yea, for a Pierce-Arrow, that would be a pretty poor build job, I'd be pissed off if that was real, and I was the owner that had paid money for that restoration job!
  20. Hmmm........ Post war GM "fast back" sedan either Buick, Olds or Caddy, it's been nearly a decade so I'm not too sure which anymore..... Heavily rotted Mid 60's Mustang with the leaves poking up through the trunk. Mid 70's Gremlin made into a wanna be ElCamino, complete with era correct red tinted windows, shag carpeting, and horrible bodywork.... Rag Top Cavelier that was folded in half after the rockers were cut out and havine nothing done to support the center of the unibody. Both a '94 or '95 Lebaron Convertable and a same vintage FWD Monte Carlo that had been rolled, kinda looked like the drivers took their exit ramps a little too hot since there were tufts of grass sticking out of various parts of the upper structures of the cars. Last trip I made there was a rolled XJ Cherokee and ZJ Grand Cherokee (which had the whole roof cut off by the responding fire department too), both with steel rims that were folded under, kind looked like they'd been slid into curbs immediately prior to rolling......The XJ provided the spare air filter box that I cut the whole front wall out of and made a broke man's cold air intake out of SAme trip both Dad and I spotted some teenage kid in the yard with his girlfriend, who was wearing short-shorts and sandles......I thought I was seeing things (It was pretty warm that day....) and missed the sandles, while Dad was shocked they let her in with that outfit (not the kind of place I'd roam around in shorts and anything less than some kind of gym shoe in all honesty). The next weekend Dad took my sister to the same yard and she got in for free while dressed to actually tear something apart so I'd be willing to guess that this kid's girlfriend must have gotten him in for free too
  21. kInda reminds me of the vintage BMW (I think it was a 2002) a customer used to own, kinda beat and ratty looking (actually pretty good for a car that age here in Chicagoland), with a few bolt on hop up parts. He recently sold it off and his mid 90's 3 series sedan for a matching 3 series wagon as a daily driver. *Edit* I went back and found pics of Gene's '74 2002!
  22. Diecast model, and not one I'd spend much money on either I do think that car would look good as a high dollar hot rod though! Slight drop, dark lower color to hide the panel lines, more modern 18"-22" rims, maybe stretch the cabin some for longer doors front and rear..............................
  23. I'm guessing real for now, but won't offically vote till I can look at it on my home computer. No matter which it is, I do think they need to find somebody that can do a better job of color matching the front clip to the rest of the car, the entire front clip looks to be a different shade of silver than the rest of the silver on that car
