That is extremely tacky, but in a fascinating, retro way. I could easily see this car being driven by a bigger-than-life super hero pimp villain in one of the mid 1960's Matt Helm or James Bond movies....it looks like a '60's era custom to me, over the top and tacky, but still, somehow, authentically vintage. I like the Monkeemobile much better!!

I don't Mark…there may be a few things on this car you could incorporate in your Cat gasser project

It's so tacky that it's awesome! WAY over the top, but cool like the Monkeymobile or Batmobile was cool. George Barris?

Even the hood scoops have hood scoops.

Yes, this is very interesting. It is in extremely bad taste, in my opinion, but looks to be of extremely high quality and very well executed. Like it was done by Barris or another pro. Usually, amateur custom jobs are hacked together.....not so with this one. Very well done and carried out, but I would have to wear a ski mask to drive it in public!!

I think he's just jealous that he didn't think of all those cool mods for his car....

Default Nudie like car

Maybe they used a Nudie car as inspiration. Nudie Cohen made the Hank Jr and Roy Rodgers Bonnevilles.

It looks like they started out doing an XP-400 clone but couldn't stop with just 2 scoops on the hood & 1/4s.

I always liked the XP show cars.
