My father used to restore show cars for customers. He once restored a 57 Chevy with..... check this out...... factory fuel injection. I mean he restored several of these but..... not with fuel injection.

Nope. 6'2''.
No Napoleon complex here.
Speaking of doesn't he look totally hung over in this painting.
Is it just me?
If he were alive today I wonder what he would drive.
The smart@ss in me want's to say a VW microBUS or a SMART car.
Well.... he is a dictator. Maybe he would have something exotic. Like a customized Ferrari.
OK... one more

A Stingray Corvette.
And it's one off younger brother.
A guy at TULE had/has one of these. I used to go stare at it when I would see it in the lot. I think his name was Doug but I am not sure.
Not my first car but I figured we could all gawk at it.

In the 60's my dad was a sales rep for RCA...he was a "Chrysler Man" and put enough miles on a car he'd have to trade pretty much every year. In those days, guys made a career out of being a car salesman, and the kids called the guy who sold him his cars "Uncle Jack". Dad was looking to trade his Newport in and as a joke brought one of these home for the night. Our house was pretty popular then. Wish it would have been for real, but a Fury III replaced it the next day

Yes they did.
Looks like this one needs a bit of research.
My guess is it is a "retrofit" of a Dodge Challenger.

My intent was not to fabricate or deliver inaccurate information. I just thought you might enjoy seeing a modern version (even a conversion) of that classic.

Not saying it's anything you did...if the writer of he article wanted to be a little more "believable", he could have posted the sister car to the Superbird - the Dodge Daytona.

Did you like the "conversion"?
Does it look like a modern Superbird or Daytona to you?

I think it looks great. I imagine though that if they built it, it would be WAY out of my price range.
