In fact, not technical at all ;-)

Looks like a 21st century version of a late 60's VW hippy bus heading for Woodstock.

A couple of years ago (maybe four or five) this was at Carlisle. It is more striking in person than in photos. It sure did attract a lot of attention.

Hey Guys... This is an ART CAR

This isn't really a corvette... it's an ART CAR!

Ken Gerberick, a good friend of mine, has built many art cars... but he can't afford to use corvettes. Check out http://www.kengerberick.com/kenframeset.html

Also, there are conventions! He just attended the annual Art Car Fest in San Francisco. See http://artcarfest.com

If you think your corvette attracts a lot of attention when you drive it, it's nothing like the looks you get going down the road in one of these!

Re: Hey Guys... This is an ART CAR

This is a "CRUSHER" car. A dedicated enthusist should buy the car and put it in an art museum (I once saw an XKE salad bar in a restraurant! ), Or...Euthanize it at the scrap yard.

Hey Dickie, It's either bad drugs or an indicerphiable paint code.

Re: Hey Guys... This is an ART CAR

My vote is for euthanization!!!!!!

Patrick -

Someone inside the suburban was feeding LOTS of ammunition (7.62, not .30 cal.); we had one of those GE mini-vulcans on each side of our gunships, and we couldn't lift more than 16-18 seconds worth of ammo.

Tidbit: That gun had two 48-volt electric motors - one drove the barrels, and the other one drove a mechanical ejector system - gravity wasn't enough to expel 6,000 rounds per minute (100 rounds per second, 17 rounds per second per barrel). Those motors weren't much larger than a soup can, made by Philco-Ford Aeroneutronics, and were $8,000 each (in 1964).
