So, I came across this:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYalB4UtTuI



I went to Vanilla Ice's website and from there his forum, only to find this:



So here is what I'd like to do if any of you are game:


I started a thread in the dead forum. You can find it here: https://officialvanillaice.proboards.com/thread/1180/hello-looking-5oh

Let's flood that board with new memberships until it squeals. It's one of those generic 'build a forum' things so, it should not be too difficult.


Next:

Dig around (in the ways that you do) and see if we can dig up some solid contact info for Vanilla Ice. If I can reach out to him then I can send him an invite. Of course, I've discovered email addresses for various things but Lord only knows who gets those.


Anywho... What I've seen of the car so far is pretty sweet (looks like no expense was spared) but all I know is what is in the video above.

Other links to this car and build are certainly welcome!

Overall looks like it came out pretty good. Verts are the only body style you can get away with color matching the trim.
Not the biggest fan of the two tone seats and i truly hate that engine cover.

To me the whole point is to see the engine and the mechanicals. Even when i watch Bitchin rides i dislike all the fancy covers they use to hide what's underneath.
Then again, i'm not a show car guy, maybe that's what people like at shows...

Almost sounds like he never let it go and it is in fact the one he restored.

I thought he once said that the car wasn't the original from the video.

The video cars is an '87, with the hatchback style side mirrors. The restoration has hockey puck mirrors. We all know parts can be swapped, but considering he likely didn't do the work himself i doubt a custom shop would go out of their way to source all the parts to make this change. Or maybe they did?

Maybe. The Fox scene in Long Beach was pretty hot when I was a kid and I still saw quite a few rolling around last summer when I visited.
