    Well I would not have been as crushed if the interior was re-done in the original color, but the car needs restoring anyway so hopefully when it gets the restoration it deserves it will be done right and back to the original Tan.


    Enjoy

    Does Ron from Hawaiian Tropic still own the car? I remember some infomercials he did with the car driving down the beach a few years ago...Sad to see it in this conditon:(

    Those exhaust pipes are hideous!

    The tread pattern reminds me of an old Formula 1 or Can Am tire.

    Ron's taste in girls is much better than his taste in exhaust pipes.

    Those pipes were on the car in the movie.

    Not Ron's doing.

    And to quote myself...

    I was told that Ron may entertain selling it.

    Myself and a friend would both pay $200K and that will not but it at this time.

    I wonder if that exhaust really sounded like the sound track in the movie. Wasn't it a Ferrari sound track used?

    I always wondered what happened to that car. It should be in much better shape that that, especially considering the fact that that car is single-handedly responsible for making every kid Lamborghini carzy back in the day...
