ok, basically I am with you, but there is some creativity and craftmanship here. Not my cup of tea, but I have to give recognition to some serious attention to detail, 24k gold plating! It's way over the top, but....
how about the hood made to look like the motor just burst through it? I just wish there was a pic with the hood on.
And that front grill, looks pretty cool actually, I could see that on a "normal" car
get past the purple and gold, and look at the content, just sayin

Well he has a lot of ***** asking 100K for that. Maybe if he put some velocity stacks or something else so it wouldn't clear the local overpasses. Car has to be a danger to low flying aircraft

I live in the area and see this around town once in a while. Healthy sounding - it'll rattle your guts from a distance so I suppose it may have one redeeming quality.

Where is Bats when you need him??? I like this style yup its way over the top but that is what they had back when I was younger running around World of Wheels shows. try looking at it as a piece of art work and the time its taken along with detail. Yeah its not everyone's favorite color but at least the owner made it his own instead of following the herd.
If I had the money and time I would do it, but then again check out my avatar that was also pearl white and purple lol

That is someone’s dream ride! There is an *** for every seat...

personally, I wouldn’t pay much for it. It definitely looks like a disco era hot wheel!

He's been trying to sell it all over the internet for at least a year now. Last time I saw it he was asking $125k, so he's coming down! lol!

Can I pay him 10k to put it back to stock!? I'm usually not one to knock a custom car because I generally don't like stock cars. I appreciate stock C3s but they look better modded even if its just wheels and a lower stance...but this abomination is too far. The rule of because you can doesn't mean you should....
