Well, if you have to live in your car, why not decorate?

He obviously cares alot about his car since he double parked. But........ the interior says otherwise.

Did his hood emblem get sucked into that air scoop cowling? He could have a twin-charging set-up and need the extra air for the supercharger.

He must have added the wing after realizing his traction suffered when he lost the weight of the rear seat.

I bet the air scoop is just glued onto the hood and there is no opening under it. The spoiler looks like it came off a mid-90's Toyota corolla. The 3 of 4 matching rims look like they came off a Ford Ranger or possibly a Chevy S10. I can't see the exhaust but I bet it is some sort of fart can setup.

The windshield wiper is not broken, the car is just winking at you...

I think it was in a bit better shape at the time though

I think you are right, it was posted about a year ago.
The Flames don`t look all that bad, some one did them right whether any one likes them or not. Iam talking about the flames whether they are on a W123 or 55 Chevy.
I agree some pig lives in it and it has been beat. Looks like the passenger seat is there, just lay`d back.
That is blastomy for not having the Hood Ornament.

That 6" wide light Alloy wheel on the R/R is worth $100.

Looks like it must have a SBC in it. ...not my cup of tea but 123s are not rare cars so its no big loss, and its not crushed so it might someday be put back stock.

I rarely ever disagree with Charlie, but the rs seat does not look present to me.

what I recall from that other thread on this car is I believe its all stock as far as engine, but has a fake hood scoop and American racing wheels on it, as well as paint
