Carl Casper was famous back in the 60's and still has an active museum today. It's easy to poke fun at fads in the past, but customs were all the rage at one time.
I've only seen one color picture of the real car (which if I remember correctly was built from a 1964 convertible) but he was a big fan of heavy fogging.
I wonder where it is today.
here's some more Casper:

yeah, and you can see the turbo in the lower left corner of that picture...32K would be the speed of the turbine in the turbo.
wait it says 92K....that turbo would explode into a bazillion pieces....
GE T700-401C power turbine is only in the 30K range..if I remember right, but it does operate in the high 800 degree exhaust gas temperature
