I remember hearing about how it was a big hit, and that someone had tried to buy it. I couldn't imagine he would sell something this spectacular, but shortly after that, he apparently decided it was time to let it go... BTW, I think the car was missing the fender skirts when he first got the car, and the ones in the photos are just units he found at a swap meet, or something. I am about 80% certain that they didn't come with the car. You'll also notice an interesting tag on the bumper in one of the photos... I would imagine that was something he added along the way, but I'm not sure.

Here is a preview:

It didn't end up selling on ebay. If I remember right the auction ended early or it didn't meet the reserve.

Ryan happened to be over because he had a stake in the shoot and I happened to be there cuz they needed someone to push the car. Oh yeah and BTW, the neighborhood............as they say "there goes the neighborhood"

Steve,
thanks so much for the hospitality during the photo shoot. That was a day I'll never forget. Thanks,
John
