A question that has never failed to get me eyerolled at-

If they use whale penis leather, do you suppose it's still all veiny?

I think they actually just insert an entire whale penis in the car. Then they carve seats and stuff out of it on the inside. Then you drive from inside the penis.

You know in some sick way I like the basic ideal of the car but the side pipe thing would have to go, the right rear pannel looks a bit "off".

Now wait. Imagine it with headers, a big push bar, and a 50-cal protruding from that thing in the hood. The Mad Max/Deathrace look could save that poor thing!

It's a great example of having good skills, and no eye for beauty.

The front reminds me a bit of the later big mouth Berkeleys - still damn ugly though.

QFT.

Although at it's current price, I'm sure some enterprising person would put it right again. Plus, it's in NJ and doesn't have rust.

Reminds me of the old Carfax ads (back when they were good).."People do some strange things to cars."

Yeah, it's his car and he did what he liked with it..but I don't think he should have put a reserve on the auction. Wonder what it is..
