Were some of you fans of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E? Well, we were! And since buddy Gene Winfield built the original TV car called THE PIRANHA, we were hooked. (Although it was missing from the Movie, dangit!)
DID YOU KNOW?? The Piranha was an all-custom Corvair-Powered runabout and originally called the "Marbon Centaur-CRV," built of ABS. Pretty much lost to history until Gene got a hold of it for Model Kit Company AMT to sell to the tune of $5K each, and then built one for the show. They were a limited run and then all but disappeared... but now, Fireball does and updated version IN THE GARAGE for those fans that still love Spy-Thrillers! The PIRANHA IS BACK! Check it out!
Also in today's cool car blast is a BUGATTI VINTAGE TRAILER Combo Sketch! Sure, it makes no sense, but your eyeballs would pop outta your noggen if you saw this in the woods! Ding!
Magnus Walker SCREAMS "Cool Coloring Book" as he handles his Solarpunk Porsche-Inspired Coloring Book now available at Barnes & Noble! What COLORING BOOK should Fireball do next??
Today's BEST OF SHOW scoots in with this tiny Honda Japanese Pickup! But why is there a Tron ENCOM Sticker on it? It's a Mystery...
