Crystal 356 Replica on Barrett Jackson
So I was up after college football on Saturday night and came across this while changing channels. A 1950's VW pan with 356 replica body that has over 250,000 Swarovski crystals on the exterior.
It sold for $100k at the hammer.  At least Cristy Lee was on the video

So, I cheated on my wife, and have to spend at least $100,000.

So, I won the lottery, and to show of my newly acquired Good Taste, I have commissioned a cost is no object paint job on a sporty car that I know nothing about but once saw and admired in an Eddie Murphy movie.
Slash/cut, five years later, I've run out of lottery money and now I have to sell all the wonderful things I bought to pay taxes.

I forgot to say the buyers are in to the upper right of the first photo. He's in the center of the photo in the black polo and she is to the right in the berry color shirt.

Because you can doesn't mean you should?

When the chef has a freezer full of meat about to go bad he makes soup.
I suspect Swarovski had a dumpster full of leftover low grade crystals.

Other than that.... can't explain it.

Just like the dimples on a golf ball- the crystals make the car faster and handle better.
