Yea, that was it at the Route 66 Show in Springfield, IL last Fall.
I'm surprised anybody noticed since they only showed a couple quick shots of it.
Here's a couple pics from the show.

Dennis Gage, host of "My Classic Car"


Chuck Hansen, host of "Horsepower TV"

haha yeah, it was a REAL quick shot like the camera paned to just the hood which was totally recognizable. I got all excited, it's like I found Waldo or something!

They had some pretty crazy cars at the show. Especially the "F-650 truck" lol.

I usually dont like flames on any cars, period, but that thing is truly breathtaking.

Nice ride!! I think vert doors look better on vettes because they follow the same direction that the hood opens. On F bods its opposite and looks silly.
