Certain color combinations are etched in my head as associated with certain things. This is one of them.

The old Ronald McDonald mobile. You see cars like this all too often. Let's see... what if we used a 69 TA hood and wing and then put in second gen vents? Better yet, let's put a 'one of' yellow stripe down the hood and paint the bumpers!

This car isn't even finished. $45K is a joke IMO, though there is a lot of money in it. There are a few cars I see relisted over and over again and I suspect this one will be around a few more times. Note to self... if you build your wild dream car based on your dream machine, it ends up as your dream machine and is prolly a money pit.

Kinda like this 85 TA:

Supposedly over $100K in it and it's been for sale multiple times on eBay. Price drops have put it at $25K, but who wants it? You can't drive it on the street and it's too pretty to race.

I could totally see that car in an early '90s issue of Car Craft. The risk with custom cars is that the builder has to find someone else who appreciates all the choices made to get even a fraction of their investment out of them. The cars also have an aesthetic shelf life on them as trends change. If you miss your window for turning it over, it becomes out of style until 40 years later when it's cool and vintage.
