Not my first choice, but I've seen far worse. If the seats were done in another shade of brown rather than that raspberry color and it didn't have those ugly wheels, it would be pretty cool.

Looks like it would have been some upholstery out of one of Ed Roth's wild creation from the 60's

That's it! i wondered where I'd seen that color/pattern before.
Though, I think it says the upholstery is "peanut butter and burgundy ostrich". Ouch!

But the paint color is so nice. Wheels are easily changed, but the whole interior? Big Ed's back.

"peanut butter and burgundy ostrich".

It doesn't sound the least bit enticing does it?

I wonder how many younger owners would even know who Big Daddy Ed Roth was?

I'm not so young... I know! Actually, I think the car is not bad at all. Even the upholstery :)

He had a little bit of a come back in the 1980s but I remember his T-shirts from the 1960s. You can still buy Rat Fink T-shirts on line but Ed Roth died in 2001.

Its pretty hooptie, but Im also picking up notes of pimp.

I was thinking more along the lines of George Barris.

It would sound more enticing on a sandwich...

I was just thinking the same. You don't even need to see the photos to be put off that one.

Definitely not for me but there's some craftsmanship gone into that upholstery.
