It's apparently part of the George Barris Hollywood Star Car Collection at the Volo Auto Museum. I Googled that, but the car was not listed on their site. Anyone know what it is?

Anyone know what it is?

Just taking a shot in the dark here, but I think it might be...a car.

I have both been to the Volo and the over-highway oasis where you were (it's not really a strip mall?). That car is the Mach 5 from Speed Racer.

Judging by the doors, I wanna say it was originally a C4 Vette Vert

I mean, it's like a strip mall with only fast food...

You're a car.

I see.

If you meant "what car did it start out as?", C4 Corvette.

Well, there's your problem.

It's not listed under the specified collection, and I didn't know it was for sale.

Also, CP.

Sorry about your face.

Looks painful.

I can't really see much anymore.

Or breathe. Or talk.

But can you still drive?

Brian Silvestro > Leadbull 09/06/2014 at 22:36

Maybe if I'm a 911.

Nice try, but you're clearly an '80s Cutlass.

Random question:

Which SUNY are you at again?

Brian Silvestro > Leadbull 09/06/2014 at 22:45

Albany. It's meh.

Leadbull > Brian Silvestro 09/06/2014 at 22:46

Oh, nevermind then.

I asked because one of my profs got his Ph.D at SUNY Buffalo.

Buffalo is still like 8 hours away from me, waaay too far.

I've only been to NY once, and it wasn't near either of those places...

Brian Silvestro > Leadbull 09/06/2014 at 22:57

NYC, Monticello Motor Club, Watkins Glen, and every nice driving road in between are the only relevant places in NY. Everything else is meh.

The town was East Maine, where my grandfather grew up. It's near Binghamton, according to The Google.

I was like six, though, so I mostly just remember the Ihop and the creek behind someone's house.

It's 8 hours from my house, but probably like 4-5 from Albany.

George Barris likes claiming cars as ones he's made even if they've never been within a thousand miles of his shop.
