Default Rebel Shark

I went up to the Petit Jean Car Show yesterday. It's really a flea market disguised as a car show. There were a few Vettes though. Here's one that caught my eye, the Rebel Shark. Masterpiece or catastrophe, I leave the judging to you....

The asking price was $29,500.

oh MAN that would go over big down here with the inhabitants of the outskirts(politically correct term for the the people living here that didn't hear the South lost the Civil War, the war with the oxymoron name)

Nice work, but not my choice of color scheme.

Looks like the owner wasn't willing to push it off the trailer into the mud. Definitely something I would expect out of the deep south.

I saw that car in person at the Museum too. It's pretty wild. Nice work, but not my cup of tea.

I've definately seen worse. I think his 450hp estimate might be a little high. Also that kick up tail - don't like that. If you are going to have huge flares in the back then lower it down on the tires. Its sitting about 6 in too high in back!
