Here's something I'll never be able to unsee
To be featured at the Mecum Harrisburg auction, which will be going on at the same time as the OCA Nationals. Clearly only the finest craftsmanship was used on this "star car".

C'mon, you guys haven't ever gone to a bump and run race? Ever heard of the Gambler 500?
This car is what happens when car guys have leftover paint, time to kill, and a sense of humor. While in college and working during the summer, I had several friends that drove wonderful pieces of ****. A black and white checkered LeCar with functional, dual toilet seat sunroofs? Yup. A beat-to-hell 70-something Cordoba with the top cut off? Yup. A Citation with the top cut off? Yup -- and it had been a hatchback, not the notchback, so it was even less safe. Sometimes, when cars are close to the end of their life and you're a kid with a sense of humor, you do the dumbest things possible to the car in an effort to make your friends laugh.

I wish that were true in this case, but alas, no. This is a TV STAR from one of the many fine car-related shows on Discovery.
Built for the series Leepu and Pitbull on Discovery Channel, season 1 episode 7
I think I caught the first five minutes of the first one of those shows and immediately decided not to waste time with it.

So Joe are you going to be bidding on this fine piece of history?
I think you can bid from the OCA swap meet area on line and hopefully sell enough parts to pay for it.
This would be a feather in your cap.....L.O.L.

It's likely the only way I'll ever own a "wing car".

This is clearly an example of a "niche car". It was built for a certain type auto enthusiast. Its wonderful that Mecum is offering this so a certain "clientel" can bid competitively for a "special vehicle". Not everyone would be proud to have this displayed in their driveway.

I think the record I ever saw was a Dodge Caravan, no roof, no windows, and all door frames cut flush with the windowsills. Partition put in behind the front row, all rear electrical routed under the body, everything caulked, shower liner put in, and a swimming pool made. I heard the weight of the pool wedged the front doors shut inoperable, so they Duke Boys'd it to drive.
