The car that scored the highest score (ever) nats OE judging.. not what you think..:)

They never looked that good when they were new.

That's right. I don't know about y'all, but better-than-new restorations like this, involving over-the-top spending for the sake of showing that one is able to piss away money, make me roll my eyes. And aside from that, I'm not sure they ever looked quite the way this guy has made his look; I am thinking at the moment of his painted exhaust manifold and I'm betting if I cared enough to spend time peering at the photos, there'd be more "Wait a minuteĀ…" examples.
