Why would you do this to any car. I bet it has about a ton of bondo.

I'd turbo it, paint it super expensive black, and throw some nice wheels on it

Could look good. But in it's current state, it does look horrid

Thank god for small favors.

Given the $1 asking price, I'm thinking it's a gag.

I think he put the $1 because you have to put something under the price and he is taking offers

Excepting that the Reventon looks like a Cylon... and that mess for sale looks like some retarded kid brother's cardboard-and-tinfoil attempt at a Cylon costume.

I think it was used by the Green Hornets brother, The Red Wasp Wagon. Almost as famous as the Weiner Mobile.

Openshot's really isn't all that bad. Not my favorite, but it could be MUCH worse, and it's done well. Now it's funny that Openshot's has a ton of body work and a stock 12A with the stock Nikki and breather and the engine's dirty as can be, so it is a bit ricy in that it's probably pretty slow with looks that scream that at least SOME performance mods were done.

I won't deny that the finish is smooth. However it's hideous, dangerous on the road, and rice. Plus it's made out of metal conduit, paper mache, and chicken wire. GHETTO!
