    Gee, just like the movie car, even's got some swell headrest bucket seats out of an 80's car.

    And they started with a clean rust free '46 ragtop too. That's gay, gonna take a lot of work to undo what they already did. If you're gonna do up a '46 Ford convertible to be like a movie car, restore it back to bone stock black with a red interior Biff Tannen style.

    I asked the owner a few questions about his "custom". I doubt he'll approve them, but I sure hope he does! They're questions that need to be answered.

    That would look great parked next to the Corvette Summer car.















    No it wouldn't. It would look heinous.

    I don't see the difference between Corvette Summer and any other post 62 Vette? Is it just the flames or are there some body mods too?:D

    That's gotta be the ugliest thing I ever seen! I take that back, I remember in High school I boned this girl that was pretty rough... But that is the ugliest corvette I have ever seen!

    Does anybody understand why there were two Greased Lightenings? I was too busy thinking about nailing Stockard Channing (I know Olivia Neutron Bomb was hotter but Pinky put out) and wasn't paying attention to the storyline. I mean, they were both equally ****ty, I don't get it.

    Because the lovely example in your picture was the one in their fantasy when they were talking about what they were going to do with it. The other one looks good by comparison; at least, it still looks like a car.

    I posed a question earlier to the guy who's listing this....here's my question:

    Are these pictures from before the restoration? Because I hope you didn't pay money for it to look like this! Van Halen called, they want their graffics back! Nice seats too. There's a 80's car somewhere that needs its seats back.



    Here was his response:


    FYOU! You must not have the money dip****!--- jfbendall@charter.net


    Wow...now that guy is TOUCHY about that car! Is it possible that he's heard similiar remarks about it before? Hmmmmmmm.

    LMAO! What an *** snacker.
    Would you expect anything less from somebody who would build that turd out of a rust-free barn find?

    Original happens once, you can paint a car a hundred times...

    The actual movie car looked like a pretty authentic '50s hot rod to me. It would've been better w/o the lightening bolts, but otherwise whats wrong w/ it??
     
  21. Yeah, I'm with you. I liked the movie and the cars in it.

    Wow, you're right. Besides the paint, I like it -nerf bars and all.

    Yep, loose the goofy *** grafix on the movie car and it'd be fine for me.
    I really dig the nerf's and rolled pan myself..

    "It's leave, you idiot, make like a tree, and leave. You sound like a damned fool when you say it wrong."

    God, I love that movie.

    I agree about the movie car being a not-bad-looking ride aside from the goofy paint job. This recreation of it, though, got all the ugly stuff right and added it's own bunch more ugly stuff, basically an 80's style rod with headrest buckets, Mustang II suspension, all that ****, plus the ugly paint, but no nerf bars, no custom grille, no none of the good ****.
