There's a special place in hell for people who do that to a Corvette.

Smoke definitely wouldn't. I've picked him for every race since he came into NASCAR. Hope he heals up fast. It's odd not to be rooting for him.

Can you say "Scoop-A-Holic? I've never seen one hood, that had so many different styles of scoops in my life. You've got Cowl Induction Scoops, NACA scoops, reverse-scoops and louver Scoops.
The only scoop I don't see, is an Ice Cream Scoop! Can you imagine trying to look around that thing while driving?
Would somebody please lance that thing!!!!

As bad as the car is, I love that they couldn't even be motivated enough to move the Monster Energy can before snapping the pics.

Its Funny to think that someone out here thinks this car looks cool. How much are they asking?

I think this car was done by Chuck Barris. It was appraised at $150,000 and they are asking $125,000.
(lol, just kidding)
I bet you if Chuck Barris did do this car you wouldnt be mocking the way it looks.
70's or not, this is probably just awesome in someones eyes.

Personally, I find most (certainly not all) of his stuff hideous.

George Barris is The Man. But A lot of his stuff was just as ugly. I like a lot of his cars. And not just the ones that everybody knows. For example there"s the Hirohata Merc. Still one of the most beautiful early fifties customs ever built.

Dang You are correct. My major league bad.
Always been a huge fan how can I make that mistake. The 1980s really took its toll on me I guess.
