Snapped this one a few weeks ago. I didn't get the chance to see what kind of car it was (I was about to turn right when I took the pic; obviously an older model and retromodded to the max! This thing was rumbling from 100 yards away ... badass! Anyone know what it is (er, used to be)? :gapteeth:

There are so few of them around. I think I've only seen two up close and personal in my life.

You know, that's the car that Maxwell Smart drove on the classic TV series Get Smart. I didn't recognize it modified like that and in the short amount of time I had near it ... plus, I didn't see the front end. Good job guys!

That's right. I think a Tiger also appeared in the Ahnold Schwarzenoogie movie "Commando".
They were cool little cars in their day.
