    Looks to me like there is no ***le for this rig. Ad says sold with bill of sale. I will say it is a
    great example of 80's car building tech. and it did get a lot of press at the time.
    I think it's going to be a hard sell at near $100,000,without a ***le.

    No disagreement that it is not a "traditional" car but frankly I like it. Great styling exercise that I believe was the trend in hot rods at the time.

    Lots of talent went into building that car. Thanks for posting the link to it.

    Not my cup of tea, but you can't deny that it was extremely well executed. Kinda looks like a "stylized" Indy-car for street use.

    Yeah but the pendulum swings so far past 80's ugly it becomes something different. I'd rock it. I'd dress like Magnum P.I. and listen to Duran Duran and pull so many hipster chicks it wouldn't even be fair!
