Oh, so that's where the idea for the Batmobile came from!:lol:

See any similarities??
Snoopy 04-26-2007, 01:54 PM That's funny....it's the same thing I thought also !!
HHR PNOY 04-26-2007, 01:56 PM thats a nice ride!
42HHR 04-26-2007, 04:51 PM Saying those two cars look alike is like saying the HHR and the PT Cruiser look alike :lol:
HillsdaleHHR 04-26-2007, 05:30 PM Actually the Batmobile was based off of a 1955 Ford Concept Car the Lincoln Futura and was later replaced with a Ford Galaxie transmission and chassis.
This is the Lincoln Futura:

longhorn 04-26-2007, 06:03 PM OMG! I think I would pass on that. It really does look too much like the batmobile.
GDZHHR 04-26-2007, 06:21 PM There is so much about it that I like but I still can't quite like. I think they tried to put together so many designs features that is looks a little "thrown together" to me.

James06 04-27-2007, 03:09 PM Can I have one? Today's my birthday.
Snoopy 04-27-2007, 03:26 PM Jimmy me lad......
I just ordered you one and paid for it. BUT you'll need to pick it up and ship it from Australia:D ;)
A great big Happy Birthday to you, my good man.

James06 04-30-2007, 12:44 PM Thanks everyone. I haven't posted that before now because I was on a trip to Nashville with 20 teenagers this weekend. I rested up Sunday, and didn't get back to the site until today.

tcstoy 05-15-2008, 06:51 AM That's the "789". Cross between a 57-58-59 chevy. :lol:
solman98 05-15-2008, 07:00 AM A wasted corvette with yet another lame body kit.....:roll:

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!
WE HAVE A WINNER!!
Not really a body kit per se, it's a custom job. Ugly nonetheless. Looks like someone was trying to build a copy of Chezoom on a C5 chassis and decided to go just a little too far...

I was the first one to say Corvette! ( Of Course it is a custum job, I know what a corvette looks like)
NickHHRSS 05-15-2008, 12:44 PM I know what it is.
Plain ugly.
Wouldn't be caught dead in it.
Tony_SS 05-15-2008, 01:29 PM A bastardization of a 57 Chevy and a 59 El Camino. End result = A lame overpriced kit car!
TkHHR 05-15-2008, 01:34 PM Another case of too much money and not enough brains:thumb:
tim_tenn 05-15-2008, 03:14 PM My eyes! Oh, the horror ... I don't think I'll ever get that image out of my mind.
James06 05-15-2008, 03:27 PM I like it, but then I'm wierd.
tim_tenn 05-15-2008, 03:50 PM I wonder what it would look like if you took a 57 Chevy and tried to make it look like a Corvette ... would this transformation be as hideous in reverse?
Snoopy 05-15-2008, 07:43 PM I think I posted that about a year or 2 ago.!!!

O6ChevyHHR 05-15-2008, 08:01 PM I saw one of these on a TV show they were saying that there are only a few left in the world
HillsdaleHHR 05-15-2008, 08:09 PM I saw one of these on a TV show they were saying that there are only a few left in the world
That's funny considering you can still order them: Order Your 789. (http://www.n2amotors.com/docs/order-789.pdf)
jeffs396 05-15-2008, 09:41 PM I saw one of these on a TV show they were saying that there are only a few left in the world
We can only hope so...
O6ChevyHHR 05-16-2008, 06:28 PM lol yea, but whoever has it its worth alot of money!
Cokeybill 05-16-2008, 08:33 PM Thanks Hillsdale for the correct stuff. Clearing this up will stop the idiocies that are happening in this thread. It's not a vette it's a 789. Seen it on line a year or two ago. Where has everyone been...
