If you could buy a new exotic, would you?

don't look to hard. i did. that paint needs some serious restoration with bad water spots everywhere, the drivers side door card covering is starting to lift, wheels are poorly painted-orange peeled, one appears to have had a acid-based cleaner on it for too long, creating discoloring and streaking, and the rear wheel arches are wavy. and that's just what i saw immediately.

it's not worth anywhere near $80k with all those issues for me.

Wow, you're a detail guy. I didn't notice all that from the photos I checked, but I could tell it wasn't worth 80k. I can't imagine it rides well. It's a purpose-built vehicle for pushing a car on the salt flats. WTF do I need with that? If the motor is truly sorted and the tranny can handle it, it might be worth 30k.

Haha, yeah, um no. This is a SEMA build truck. The salt flat part is just an excuse. No push plate on the front makes that purpose hard to use it for. The custom interior with a wild single-brand audio system(very few non-sponsored rides ever get all their audio stuff from one brand), custom air ride, trick bed(seriously, it goes parallel up, not a dump bed that would have some use), custom milled door handles, and one-off wheels all gave it away.


Here its on speedhunters in 2012, so the build is old enough to be humfrz's kid. And knowing how rushed SEMA builds go, I wouldn't touch it for anything over $10k. In the comments, they say it was at SEMA before the article was made.

Edit:found and even older pic of it. This trucks been through a lot.

Here's an article about the streamliner and shows the truck behind it.

It wasn't the car per se (in which I can see a certain appeal). It was the fact that a car like that is on a website called "sanfranciscosportscars". In other words, that car doesn't fulfill my definition of a sports car. In more words, the website feng shui is all wrong.

How many BMW fans out there would want this in their collection? Spotted yesterday.

My best friend in college had one the same time I had my 240Z. Loved that thing.

I went out a couple times with a gal in college that had one. I thought the fenders and stuff were going to fall off while driving. Total tin can.
