Default Butterfly C3 at Bloomington Gold

Anyone ever seen this before? It was for sale at the auction but I think it was a no-sale. My notes are a little wrinkled but I think it was described as a 1970 that had spent its life on the custom car circuit. It had a velour interior. Looked kinda like a "Dirk Diggler" machine to me!

Get rid of the butterfly taillights and it doesn't look too bad.

You don't want to see it. Dark red velour on everything.


It should sell for a ton in San Francisco.

TOM73, from the pictures you posted, you missed when you shot at it. next time use a shotgun or get a little close and use a .44

Just what thought process did they go thru that settled on butterflies??? Makes me shutter to think what the second choice was.
