The custom seats are the real selling point on that car. I mean, you just can't BUY that kind of build quality! The e-brake lever is also very custom!

Is that a 2X6 wooden roll bar that I see behind the seats????

That's a rare one year only option, ya know!!!!

That e-brake handle looks functional, but the black hood on the back of it is bizarre. I'll bet that's original 3-M masking tape on there.

On the other hand, I see a GM Q-Jet poking through the hood, so we can plan for domestic part sourcing.

And the hood scoop looks like it can move up or down, probably via a really neat vacuum lift system made from recycled headlight retractors. The duct tape is a tad worn though, but that could be due to high speed runs down the track.

EDIT: I missed the "Rallye Pack Gauges" on the console........

That e-brake is actually an umbrello- just hold it up and open for emergency stops. It also doubles as tonneau cover.

Could this be a car from one of the
James Bond movies?

I think that it was thrown together for an episode of Junkyard Wars. If you mount a paint ball turret on the top, it's ready to rock and roll.

Weird, they mounted the tail lights inside the trunk instead of through the rear panel. The weatherstipping glued down around the rear panel is quite strange (like the rest of the car) and don't forget the "His and Her" pop up moon roofs.

It could still be salvaged though. Its not too far gone.
