Pretty undecided here at Influx Towers about what we actually think about this. Love? Hate? Indifference?<\/p>\n

Not being ones to sit on the fence, we’re going to have to sit on the fence.<\/p>\n

There’s something just so wrong about re-creating a 60s concept in the 21st century- and the lines of it look a little ugly. But in essence, we can’t help but love that someone has been arsed to do it at all.<\/p>\n

This thing is a ‘1960 Plymouth XNR’, was designed and built by one Virgil Exner Sr<\/a>. and was, according to the webs, built on a Valiant chassis, we’re thinking they might mean a Chrysler Valiant, but cannot be sure.<\/p>\n
