I don't understand

I'm willing to bet that said owner has an excellent mullet & a vast collection of 80's hard rock cassettes.

I kinda like the nose.. but the graphics would have to go. If I bought it, the car would not even be driven to the paintshop, it would get taken by flatbed to avoid the embarissment of being seen in something like that

Ye gods no.

Why are custom wheels so ugly now? We won't even get into the paint. It just goes to show that money does not automatically confer good taste.

20 Grand? Does it come with the key of coke stowed in the front bumper?

The only part I like is the paint, but I am of a certain age....The part I can never understand is the body kits. I have never seen any aftermarket (particularly Japanese) body kit that improves the look of a car. EVER.

I agree.. Enkei used to have some wonderfully light and pretty wheel designs.. they still do.. but only on the high end stuff.. the rest is ugly crap

What you talkin' bout Willis?

That's one fine looking custom car.

You'd think he would mention the year of the car.

that is logical, Stuart.. who says that CL ads have ANYTHING to do with logic. I think those ads get pulled automatically

Cat Scratch Fever will do that to you...

THAT WUZ ONE FRIKKIN' HUGE SNAKE !!

Kinda figures he would want to trade for a Harley...

I don't usually like harleys.. (I would probably like them more if at least 10% of them had mufflers) but I kinda feel sorry for whatever bike he buys

The front clip looks cool, but everything else.....

+1 on the nose. Other than that, enclosed trailer to the paint booth.

3 cans of spray paint and a set of "moon" hub caps would make that drivable.

Actually, I don't hate the overall shape, nose or tail. It would be fine in a decent, single color, or maybe with some simple geometric racecar graphics. What I hate is the overdone paint job, the snakeskin, and those FUGLY wheels.

Why am I not surprised this guy wants a Harley?

nose -- okeh

wheels -- fail

tail (can't see the complete backside) -- fail

interior -- fail

paint -- some okeh, some fail.......mostly fail

No pics of engine, so I bet nothing detailed there.

I would drive it.
