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

Saying those two cars look alike is like saying the HHR and the PT Cruiser look alike :lol:

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:

OMG! I think I would pass on that. It really does look too much like the batmobile.

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.

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.

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...

Wouldn't be caught dead in it.

A bastardization of a 57 Chevy and a 59 El Camino. End result = A lame overpriced kit car!

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?

That's funny considering you can still order them: Order Your 789. (http://www.n2amotors.com/docs/order-789.pdf)

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...
