Basically this car is a prototype car that chrysler was going to mass produce... Emerson Fittipaldi designed this car. My father had this car in storage for the past 10 years and now I have cleaned it up a bit. I hope you enjoy...
P.S. I wasnt really sure where I could post my car and be able to get feedback on it...

Wow, and I thought I had seen em all by now. Very cool and unique. I'd roll that baby right back into the garage and put one of those bubbles around it. :cool:

the engine is all stock... nothing to show off... I am not sure if I am going to do much to the engine though... it might devalue it... what do u guys think, should I mod it?

That is one sexy car :thumb: :thumb: !!

I probably wouldn't touch it if I were you, and just by another 1G to mod. I'm sure it will be worth ALOT of money some day. I would just keep it pretty much stock.

Love the body kit.......

AH, NO! MODDING BAD! OMG

Seriously, if that car is a 1 of 1, put it in your garage, set up a couch next to it and just sit there and stare at every now and again. Thats the kind of car that never comes out of the garage under its own power ;)

Enter that thing into some car shows or something, drive it to the shows in an enclosed trailer though. Its a very gorgeous car indeed.

What the hell is the point of owning a car and NOT driving it? And as far as not modding it goes, I agree to an extent, but what's the fun in not modding it? oooohhhh $$$ if you sell it down the road? who cares? I say sell it or enjoy it.

And yah, i'm curious if the specs are any different than a normal DSM.

In the interior, theres not much difference except for the seats, the seat are leather recaro racing seats with the Fittipaldi Emblem on it, and the stearing wheel is a indy style wheel with the emblem on it again

I saw those pics in the gallery when you put them up earlier today - and thought "Damn, that's one unique & clean 1G"

Now to find out about the history of it... I'm even more impressed. Awesome!! :cool: :thumb:


Can you take some more pics for us, maybe some of the interior, rear end, and just an engine shot for good measure? I'd love to get a better look at that rear wing and bumper.
