Lol it stock buddy.

Some intercooler are under the hood and some in front bumper, i like intercooler to be up in front than up inside the hood, too much work to remove intercooler if need to work on top of engine

that's why I was wondering if it was the first.  I see it more and more as a mod to regular cars.  even to the point of fake ones being done just for looks.

I doubt it, but I do appreciate the Joe Walsh reference ...

A rare Alfa Romeo Sport Sedan. 1978 model. 

2.0L DOHC aluminum engine with mechanical fuel injection.

Torsion bar front suspension

DeDion rear transaxle 5 speed close ratio. 4 wheel discs. Rears are inboard. 

50/50 weight distribution with little unsprung weight. 

A real sleeper.

 

I spotted this gem at my house.

Looks good, but not an exotic car, IMHO.

 

Maybe that's because we looked at buying it new, back in the day.

I didnt' get to talk with the owner, he was out on a delivery but I did chat with his coworkers. 

 

Those cars are now fetching $60-125K and are rarely seen as a driver. 

 

They are creeping in on exotic............that's just my opinion. 

[Pete M]

that thing is exotic in allll the right ways

No issue for me either.  Rather was reminded I could have purchased a mid 60's Ferarri for about twice the price of that Chevelle at the time. Talk about, could've should've?  What is your guess on min value for early/mid 60's Ferrari?

But truth is I didn't and would have sold it for a few $$ profit

This guy had 6 or 7 Porsche in his garage and a boat he made by hand. Boat was most impressive to me. Logged his own tree, milled his own lumber to make the boat board by board.

Beautiful Chris Craft clone.

We see a lot of them when we’re out on the water on Lake George NY.

Probably a lot more wooden boats then than there are now.

By no means exotic, but harder to come by than most exotics.

My boss’s 59 El Camino. He bought it in 1960, the year he graduated high school, and has never sold it. 
Originally it was a 6 cylinder with a three on the tree.
In 1966, he drove the El Camino down to SoCal to visit his wife’s uncle. Jim and his wife’s uncle then took the El down to Tijuana, Mexico to get the interior done in black diamond pattern leather. That interior is still in it, and is in excellent shape. On the way to SoCal, he also bent some pushrods running it through the mountains. He had to fix it when they got to his wife’s uncle’s house. 

Fast forward a few years, Jim is working in a body shop when a rolled over 66 Chevy full-size with a 300 horsepower 327 comes in. At this time, the El had about 40,000 miles on it. The 66 only had a couple thousand. Jim took the engine out of the 66 and dropped it in the El. In 1976, Jim opened the Auto Center. He decided that it was time to redo the El. He repaired the rust, painted it blue, put on turbine wheels, a 66 Belvedere grille, and side pipes. Everything you see on that truck today is original to the restoration in 76. Even the tires. 
The El now has a bit over 70,000 miles on it and he puts a couple hundred on that every summer.
