Maybe this is what Tom should do with his 300SD rather than 2 tone. :D

Wow, if it were a 240 maybe the flames would make it go faster lol

that car is begging for big-n-littles... maybe tubbs too...

The flame job isn't that bad

Well at least you would feel you were perhaps. I really like some of the realistic flame paint jobs out there in the last few years.

Almost too nice to drive. To me the flame job breaks up the boxiness of the front of the 123.

I actually like it, despite its complete absurdity. I wonder where they got those wheels in a 5x112 pattern?

It is well done. If the rest of the paint is good, no reason to paint it, looks kind of cool. I noticed the seats have flames also.

Those are sort of the old school flames. I agree with Berry, some of the flames painted now days are sure realistic looking.

Too bad there aren`t more pictures.

The hood scoop is awesome.

there are no words. . .

At least its not priced way out there. $2500 seems reasonable, but who would buy it?

How do you say "sale proof!"?

wait...
it's a 77 diesel?

um...

why?
the scoop looks to be a ford thunderbird scoop.

the seats appear to be racing plastic seats...

...

Also note the rear spoiler.

If it was just the paint job it wouldn't be bad. The spoiler and hood scoop kill it. For some strange reason I kinda like it.

I didn`t catch the hood scoop :o but the rear spoiler is a little hard to see.
I do notice the side molding is removed.
