Hmm, the 70s and 80s sure produced some interesting things in the automotive world.
Good chance I will run into Mr. Cooper this weekend, may ask him about it.

Eeeesh...it's amazing how many Corvettes have been....customized through the years. We don't see this so much with the C4 and newer cars but, MAN!!! The C2's and C3's sure caught more than their share of "improvements"!

Ouch! That was one bad accident. The mark v and corvette are completely mangled together. Oh the horror of it all.

This car is what I consider a polarizing car..no middle ground with this one.
I appreciate the talent/vision, but doesn't sway my personal opinion (mis-directed compilation of components).
Hopefully the designer/owner loves it..which is all that really matters of course.

Thats what my friend called it. the batmobile. haha It was a real pain to drive the wheels would spin at every turn and everywhere you went people would talk to you for hours about it. It gets real old having to talk about your car every time you stop.
