That's a rare "Masochist-Edition" '78, which you can tell by the following unique features:

* Fixed headlights with "Obstructed-Projection" Technology (TM)
* Digital Speedometer that reads up to 800mph.
* Genuine "Rolling Thunder" roller-coaster seats
* One-piece "Toupe" retractable roof/winshield-shade (TM)
* "Sling-Blade" combination armrest/arm-hair shaver (R)
* 2400W Explinity "Deaf-i-nator" cassette-deck
* Las Vegas-style flares that conjure images of adult film star enhancements
* And last but not least, the "Spoiler for my rear spoiler" double-deck rear-end treatment, which increases downforce by 2.4% at 800mph.

That's some WILD custom work. Not my taste at all but I can appreciate the work that went into it.

WOW! A ton of work in that car. Maybe geared more towards the "tuner" crowd. Interior is way too over the top for my taste. I can appreciate the effort and time that went into this creation though.

Wow!

" SUSPENSION SPECS AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT SUSPENSION COMPLETELY REBUILT TO RACE TOLERANCE AND STRENGTH, WHICH INCLUDES, NEW SHOCKS, SPRINGS, BUSHINGS AND LOWERED."

It does have a "race tolerance" suspension and pushing 500 hp through a "Holley"

And the cloth top?

I can live with the exterior, I think it's actually a good looking car on the outside. But the only suitable resolution for the interior is a flamethrower!

Proof positive that skill & taste are two completely different things. Not my taste either, but will give props to the skill involved - and man-hours it took - to do that interior work.

I looked but did not see any seat belts in the car. I would think you would need something to keep from slamming into all that fiberglas dash during sudden stops. There certainly isn't anything for your butt cheeks to grab onto! :-)

I do hope he finds someone with his taste to take the car off his hands - it just won't be me.

Incredible workmanship. Not my cup of tea though.
