STYRENE-SURFER Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Somehow I missed the boat on this incredible car when it was presented. It just popped up on my youtube suggested videos thingy. Love the voluptuous 1960's styling with that wonderful Red w/gold brightwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sexy! Don't care for the wheels however, particularly the copper finish. Looks like a modern interpretation of the Ferrari P330. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a modern interpretation of the Ferrari P330. Perhaps true gold plating would have pushed the car too far over the super car price threshold ? That P330 does have painted gold wheels after all and the look has always been one I liked. I do prefer cars with hips, even some American cars can claim that ?? well, not many really.

vamach1 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) I would not refuse to test drive one that’s for sure. ? I wonder if anyone will do a model kit. ? The diecast is pretty but $$$. Edited September 2, 2020 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Sweet machine, however when they swing around the rear from 3/4 view to full on rear shot I think of a '59 Buick. Maybe it is just my bifocals playing tricks on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
