I think it started as Scientifically Treated Petroleum. Then Studebaker bought in and conveniently changed it to suit their marketing. And then it got changed back upon their exit of the business.

Sounds like I need to do a deep dive into my Time Warner bill.

I guess my prize is not going to be getting promoted out of the grays.

Scientificly Treated Petroleum

Pretty sure this is the same car that was listed on BaT last year. $41k, reserve not met at that time.

I’d be all over this at a sub-$5k price. Total CP at the current ask.

99% ceetain the lights with the kit are from an Gen 1 Explorer SportTrac. Quick search of ebay reveals few aftermarket options, none of which I find appealing.

Well stated. As an engineer previously employed on the front lines of producing plastic exterior trim parts, I concur that different finishes are much more difficult to achieve on the same part than most believe. Even inside the industry, designers, stylist, engineers, and (worst) account managers have a hard time…

Apparently not.

Fucking hippies.

If I should win...

Came to see this. Not disappointed.

Ok... what’s up with the round knob instead of the pistol grip?

Bought a 97 SVT Cobra brand new. Replaced my 94 Probe GT.

Ah... The 70s. Two tone paint. Leisure suits with big collars. And hairy bushes.

Best ad ever. I have an original copy hanging in my garage along with every other 69 Charger ad.

25 years ago, I spent three of my college summers working the “dumb end of the tape” on a survey crew. This was in the days before GPS, and lasers were just coming into use. Worked mostly on road construction in suburban areas, as well as some drainage projects. “Close enough. We ain’t buildin’ no bridge!” is an…

Can we please stop designing these crossovers with the extreme fastback roof lines!?!? It makes for a severely compromised cargo area. My two dogs give this one a big thumbs... err... dew claw.. down.

Nice, but no way you’d get this one road worthy under the budget. Not even close. This build has hit the stage where all the little expenses (sub-$1k) pile up VERY quickly and is probably the reason it’s on the market. DAMHIK.

I’ve often tried to explain to the uninitiated the magnitude of audible violence which accompanies a top fuel dragster pass. It can’t be done with words. You can’t put enough “VERY”s and expletives in front of the word LOUD to adequately convey it.
