probably just a car thats been quickly put together to simply cruise
at summernats... People want to cruise nats with no roof (more people)
and have a bit of fun... I doubt it actually sees any road time any
other time of the year...

That car is soooo not road legal, which is a good thing actually as it's hideous. I understand the idea behind it, cruiser for a car show. However, I do hope you don't actually want to buy that monstrosity, as that colour is usually only assigned to cars that are hideous and awful. Citric Acid is the worst colour I have ever seen, even hot pink looks better, and that is only because Citric Acid is similar to the colour of vomit.

Can`t wait to hear your comments on a `tropic gold` or `copper bronze` painted car

I don't know what kind of food you eat but I've never spued fluro yellow.
I love citric acid btw, when I was buying my car a few years ago it came down to citric acid with high Kay's, or white with low Kay's. It was defs a head over heart decision picking white.

I must say that the FE LTD ute in the foreground appeals to me.

It belongs to one of "KillerJoolz"' mates... It's no convertible, it's just got the roof cut off, and roll bars professionally welded in.
