If it belonged to me, I don't think I would ever come home. Looks too fun to ever be parked...

Beyond the 15,000 dollar engine and 10,000 dollar paint job and 4,000 dollar shoes, and professional photographer, what's so special about it?


Yeah, I might be just a little jealous...but only a little.

Looks exactly like my 69 except I'll have different wheels in a few weeks (rally's now) and no side pipes. Close to same engine specs too. I love the color but most people seem to not like it.

They used the "chrome" paint from the likes of Alsa or INNATE and put a red candy over the top. Its NOT cheap..last time I looked it was $250 a quart and cant be reduced (plus you have to paint the car black and be highly polished first)

The new ghost chrome and mirra chrome paint is unreal, and pretty easy to use.

The color is a custom mix of jeep cherokee red and something else. I loved that color when I saw the car in VETTE. I was bummed it was a custom mix.

found the issue. Jeep grand cherokee Sierra Pearl custom mixed. Kurt Sikora was the owner at the time in Elgin, Illinois. I thought I saw the car for sale on ebay about a year ago but it may have been one of those scam sales.
