I know that taste is a matter of personal preference. But this is, well, one of a kind.

That's quite the custom... well, somebody likes it enough to bid $28k.

By chance do you have that much money in yours? It is a matter of personal taste and though it doesn't do a thing for me, I have done enough custom work to see that this owner or whoever DID put a lot of money and mods into it. I certainly tip my hat to them for stepping out of the ordinary and doing it their way. AND by the looks of the work....it was professionally done.

Definitely a matter of personal taste. I'm sure whoever built it was very happy with it. I don't really care for the design, but have respect for the quality of work that was put into the car. I can't imagine the cost of that paint.

Looks like he took about 5 different paint job and threw them in a blender.

The flames, black/orange, and white with checkered flags would all look good on their own, but mixed together its way too busy.

Anyone else notice that he lists that it has an "Automatic convertible top?"

That's an attention getter for sure. Like it or not, everyone at a car show would give it a second look!

Lots of work done there - not to my taste, but it is one of a kind.

WOW. Not my style, but the owner of it probably wouldn't care for my plain-jane pewter coupe, either, so I guess we're even.

I would have done a few things differently, but it's obviously quality work. Aside from the rear-end advertising the paint job is actually pretty nice. Get rid of the wing and the bling and it would be a good looking car.

A bunch of work for sure, just a little too flashy for my taste.
