Title: Hong Kong Phooey
Post by: Kenneth Gear on July 29, 2005, 13:23:39

I'm not sure is anyone else remembers the cartoon "Hong Kong Phooey" from the 70's (or perhaps early 80's) but I recently ran across a reference to it online and saw this picture of his car... my initial reaction was ...now that's a pagoda!  I thought I would share with the group...

Nice , but...

 Wrong hub Caps, missing rear 1/4 panel trim, non Original steering wheel, wish they had pics under hood [ not a good sign ].
Prob don't want us to see the non orig. firewall padding.. looks like a patch job to me..but , still prob worth 10K..
