I saw this car about a month ago for the first time in Sacramento, on a Toys For Tots Run.

What a hoot. Not particularly my style, but as an attention getter---it gets the job done. Forum buddy 1K_SPORT told me that the car was customized for a SEMA show a few years back. Not somebody's DD, but strictly for those show-days.

That's an 18" LCD screen pop-up. (Connected to a DVD I think.) The turn signals are the flags. The whole unit slides in / out the back, I think on hydraulics. The steering "wheel" is a cnc-machined SS chevy bowtie with grips. The stereo is kick-***, BIGtime. Even from 100 yards away, the air moves.

Lots of bling down at the business-end too. Tooo much for the eyes to take in, although I remember that the FRC's are some of the best I have EVER seen.

yup, he's right. this is the work of "The Fishman" or something down in Cali if i recall. He is the best in custom audio installs. this wasmade for the 2002 Sema show (i think). He won big awards for the killer sounds made by that car! gotta give props for the work guys...

Default What a waste......

The hours spent on designing and fabricating this atrocity... Not to mention a perfectly good C5......

Maybe this is what they mean by "different strokes..."
