alternative ride for BlackE55

You moved too quickly on that E55. We know this is what you really want -

Green coolant to boot!

You could let that thing get dirty and a little dinged up and it would only make it faster.

THAT'S MY kind of car! Definitely qualifies for the new Bluesmobile!

Wonder what else it fried under the dash? $$$$-$?

Very interesting to me...Someone NEEDS this Hotrod.

That car is just screaming for a large cash$$$$ infusion. Could be a fun project, remember seeing a similer 6.9 auctioned off at Palm Beach a few years back. Wonder if it's the same car?

Whoooooa! That's awesome.

I guess that's the real Lost Highway mobile!

A perfect sleeper car. I'd be hard pressed not to put a turbodiesel badge on it to throw people off.

That much hp would require much better rubber. It would get sideways rather easily.

Isn't the 727 a 3 speed chrysler auto trans?
