Should see the thing my mate has in his workshop.

Stutz Blackhawk



It's truely horrific looking but the dude has paid for a full rebuild including the 24karat gold plating on all the buttons and shit..

"some info on them"

With a steel body hand built in Torino, Italy and greater than 19 feet long, the production Blackhawk used Pontiac Grand Prix running gear, Pontiac's 7.5 L (455 in³) V8 engine, and a GM TH400 automatic transmission. With its engine tuned to produce 425 hp (317 kW) and 420 ft·lbf (570 N·m), the 5000 lb (2300 kg) Blackhawk could accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.4 seconds with a 130 mph (210 km/h) top speed, delivering 8 miles per gallon (30 L/100 km).

I'll get some snaps of it before it goes off back to its owner.

I actually quite like it! In fact im quite liking the colour too. Although it would look even better in bright red with massivly wide wheels on it.

I was thinking red as well, would be a good colour for this, with some slot mags.
