rough trim, but you get the idea.... really great detail on this body, its wider than my proline silverado, wheels fit with a good 1/4 inside the wheel wells...
kinda looks like the custom from The Car !

Looks like a '56 Chev to me, but I can see the similarities. The Car was a George Barris-customized Lincoln, I always loved that car. I still have that on a VHS tape.
Actually, Guillermo Del Toro owns a replica of The Car:

You sometimes see those Top 10 lists for "Most Badass Cars" and personally, not much is more badass than a '68 - '70 Charger, but The Car is definitely more badass. Probably the most badass car in film history.
Imagine pulling up in a parking lot and spooking a pack of ricers with that bad boy! Oh the fun...

yea, i know the "car" was a lincoln, there was a great history channel show about barris (i think history) , talked about this car and of course the og batmobile...
the parma looks just as evil...i might have to stray from my usual bright daytona yellow and make this dark and not beat on it.... they label it as 55, and i kinda agree.. 55 Buick/Chevy/Cadaliac ... it has low slung rear quarters, kinda pontiac-ish its just an unlicensed slightly cheated mold so they dont have to pay GM "fun" body
i wish there was outdoor offroad around me, would just floor the sc crowd, what? its nitro too???
