ok i'll bite. this car is one of my favorites because of what it represents.first off ,i'll tell ya about it.its a aurora cobra daytona ,i got it free with a bunch of slots my buddy picked me up at a sale.the back fenders were cut up to the windows ,the hood was broken away with what looked like pliers due to the markings and the front fenders were all hacked up,fortunatley grill and back were ok,the new quaters were from an afx turbo turn-on ,glued in ,re contoured and bondo'd then smoothed,the hood repair was the roof from the turbo turn-on[which also seved as a great scoop -hood.it was also blended in .the hood allowed it to be really slammed down.the side pipes are tyco 40 ford donors.it has sponge silicones on a basically stock j/l chassis,all parts were hand picked ,i cant remember who makes the front end,the body is du-pont chevy indigo blue base coat with dupont clear over top,butter smooth,the scanner didnt due the paint any justice.the white stripe goes form front to back and goes down the back.i am going to re-do the stripe tho.the reason its my favorite,is this it was once probably some kids favorite,but through months and years of abuse it was tossed into a box and left for junk,i saw what it could be with the touch of someone willing to take the time.I know its a toy car but it kinda reminds me how life works,and how our lives can really look like junk until some one comes along and restores our life ,because that someone values us.not to be preaching or anything,but i thank God every day that he finds value in me.
