I think your link doesn't work.

paslantnose · paslantnose's Garage

Sure it does.

JohnJL · 02-26-2006, 02:55 AM

Um, no it doesn't. It might work for you because you've got cookies from that page already, but for others like me who haven't been there and who want to help you, it doesn't work.

How about just the item #

paslantnose · paslantnose's Garage

I would think a link should work either way.
Nontheless, 4616754613 is the item number

Now it works. I was getting "item has been removed."

I can only assume you are asking about appearance since there is little other info posted.

I've never been a huge fan of the slantnoses (i like the curves of the 911) and that one is very 'pimped.' Again, not my style. The white top reminds me of a Broughm. And you might get mugged for the wheels.

Oh, and Don Johnson and MC Hammer are going to start hanging out over at your house.

And I do hope the "Elephant Hide" is a vinyl because that is not cool at all.

Sorry, just my .000000002

It is one of those cars that you either love or hate.
I have to say I hate it. The interior is way too much for me.
Obviously a lot of money went into custom work on this car.
If it is your cup of tea then go for it.
The only one who has to love it is the owner.

My question asked for opinions, everyone's is valued sir.
I am not looking to buy the car.

Not sure i care for the white interior myself.
I do however like the color and as i will be doing a complete re-paint, that blue could be a candidate.
I really don't like the chocolate brown that mine currently is.

K9Torro · 02-26-2006, 03:56 AM

Ok

First off it is plainly visible that someone spent lots of time doing the interior of this car, wish I had access to who ever did it, just for their ability to re-do mine. It has alot of BLING and that white would be really hard for me to keep clean,

The main thing that bothers me is that there is not one photo of the engine bay and no information really about it as well, not to mention the underside of the car and potential rust areas,

One can only hope that the same level of attention was paid there as well,

IMHO this is more of a " show " car than a drive car.

No telling what the reserve is on it either,

Too much to list???? This is what an eBay ad is for and there is no fee for your decription no matter how lenghthy (and this needs to be lengthy). That said, it looks like someone has taken their time and spent some money. What they were trying to achieve is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Doesn't work for me, but to each his own.

I'm sending this post to the good people over at PETA. Elephant hides??? I too hope that is only a printed pattern

Do you think the rear speaker areas is a really cool place to "hide your stash", or is that just me?
This thing is way over the top.

i think you should see the writing on the wall .........70k invested sell for 25k. whats wrong with this picture. as i talked to the local past prez of pca zone 8 and his wife, anything that is done or changed, as long as its in good taste and professional. obviously you are not going to race it without having to tear alot out. i would leave it for some clown that wants to DISCO around town. i think dr. ferry would roll over in his grave to be quite honest!

Too much bling for a P-car.

Pingo · Pingo's Garage

Looks like a cheap hooker.....

Not my cup og tea.

If it had a stock interior, it would be not too bad.

jtratza · 02-26-2006, 06:48 AM

Good candidate for a parts car with the most offending parts buried. Deep. WTF was this guy thinking? I guess its pretty evident what he was thinking but he should have been thinking his Escalade would look great with white elephant seats, chrome wheels and a big sound system in the rear.

I'm sending this post to the good people over at PETA. Elephant hides???

AND BLUE Elephants at that ( think how rare they are!!!).

Lot's of mis-directed talent into this car..

m325ix · 02-26-2006, 07:10 AM

I think this car is 15 yeas late to the party, was in in a sleep coma? This would be a ideal candidate for Vanila Ice's or McHammer's garage back then...
even though someone with good skills did the work, the person in charge of design and style had to be on drugs...

and No mention of the MOTOR or the updates to it?
