This is what it looks like today after a refurb a few years back. I see it at SEMA including this year, and every year I just stare and drool - I never get over this car, kinda like that first girlfriend you never forget  |
i couldnt have said it better.. being 37 now i was at the same point in my life when the car came out.it was amazing to watch this car on the tape of the silver state classic.
hands down it was BIG RED that got everyone stirred up about this style of car .now who created the term pro-touring.thats another question .
