Good to see they've gone back to a car that looks more screen-accurate....BTW, we missed you at the HoB that Saturday, dent-man!

I apologize man. There are many bumps on the great journey we call life. I just strap in and enjoy the ride.

That is D.Weaver's car.
All I have on it is that it is a '76 Brougham, with a '74 front clip, and that it has added "police parts", which were taken from a '76 ex-police car, before it was sent to the scrap yard.
Some of you just saw this car up close at the CEVS.
Maybe you can confirm/deny/add to, the above?

I never saw under the hood, or got to talk to him about it, but the car did have a lower stance to it, with some nice pipes coming out the back.. Also the quarter panels had a nice coating of burnt rubber along them ...... Maybe from this nice show here lol

I also have it that originally the car had a split bench seat, which was replaced. (The front seat does look rather new)
edit:
The date on the video reads 2002, but it was uploaded in 2007.
Could it be that the camera had the wrong date displayed, or was it uploaded 5 years after it was taken? (The oldest photos, that I have seen, are dated 2006)
The video description couldn't be any less help.

Yep. Some pics of it were posted in the 'Bluesmobile Sightings' thread. There didn't seem to be a lot of love for it ... lol. Although it's always good when people are thinking of the Bluesmobile.

Here's a vid I don't recall seeing before. It has this Blumo in it ... Haha, coolin' her down with a bag of ice. I believe that's "Rat Fink." If so, that Blumo was later purchased by the folks at InPursuit in Concord, CA where it was meticulously restored to CHP standards and then purchased by board member "fordjockey." --- * That is Rat Fink 100% ... www.flickr.com/photos/68144590@N00/tags/bluesmobile/
