Does this C3 Still Exist?
About 18 years ago, when I was about 16, I saw a C3 at Carlisle for sale. It was about $10K. It left such an impression on me, I couldn't forget it.
This C3 had a very special paint job. Mt. Vesuvius was painted on the hood. It also had a bunch of people's faces and some flames. What even made it more special was that flames changed color as you walked around it. (I kid you not.)
I wouldn't use it as a daily driver. It was a real beautiful work of custom art.
Does any one know what I'm talking about or have any pics?

I know many here would consider what he did a sin. But I do appreciate the skills involved in it.

work of art.
