Cool car
Another timeless 80's hot rod. Great video and thanks for sharing. I need to visit the Petersen Automotive Museum again. I am long past due. And especially after reading the book: HOT ROD EMPIRE. The bio of Mr. Robert E Petersen !!!! A definite great read for any hot rodder. I am in debt for Mr. Petersen and how he has helped the hot rod community. I am eternally thankful for his contribution to make this world a better place. I just wished that I skipped school to meet him personally. That would have changed the trajectory of my life.
The museum was very cooperative during the production. We got to explore the museum while it was closed and of course toured the "Vault."
Troy the KING of customs
Funny, I'd forgotten about the Sniper. Back in '96 my first car was a '54 Plymouth Savoy.
"6 speed borg warner heavy duty transmission was chosen" Oh, yeah, you mean the one that came in the Viper? The T56? Sure, they "chose" that.
What a legend !
How high is that beauty woman ?? Or better how low is the sniper ????
Those gams go all the way up!
chip foose drew the concept for car but troy trepanier built it
Hard to believe this car sold for $162,000 back in the day. You can get yourself a pretty nice one owner Toyota Camry for that money in 2022.
Do you think The Sniper would sell for over a Million Dollars today?
@@Ned3ddd maybe? But it might be more difficult to sell, Because i feel people are more into stock looking classics these days. Myself included. I think it might have had a better chance if chip left the headlights original or at least more era looking, instead of those dated Mercedes headlights. But i never liked the Mercedes headlight look either. Chip also wanted to do the same mercedes headlight treatment on Christopher Titus's "Once a Knight" 56 Chevy Belair. But Titus refused, and good thing too imo.
☮️ With that said.. i still admire chips Drawing skills, and his building skills.. ive just changed my preferences over the years.
@@privateprivate1865 "with that said" in other words "disregard everything I've said to this point. Don't know why I even said it. I've wasted your time, sucker. I hate humanity."
I think you spelled Chip wrong. Lol.
It's awesome... Just don't like the merc headlights...

Why is courtney's belly button showing?
She helped choose the wardrobe. I think she looks pretty good.
@Ned3ddd She sounds way too professional to come across so cheap #respectfully I say this. I just don't want intelligent, beautiful women to be.
Showing their belly button for some reason. I don't know why it makes me uncomfortable.../ Judgmental
Belly button? You still say "criss cross apple sauce" as an adult, too? People are strange.
