If you qualify for the above, you MUST be a Corvette Summer fan. While this car isn’t as over-the-top crazy as the movie car, the paint certainly reminds me of it.
The seller offers shockingly little information about this car, considering it’s a full custom. I don’t know how much boost this produces, but it appears to be a good-sized turbo, though intercooling isn’t possible with this pull-through system. Either way, I suspect it’s a torque monster. The problem is you have to be seen in it!

Damn.
Double damn.
Aside from the wood kit, turbo badge and screen (!?), things don’t look too radical inside.
Yep, I see a giant turbo with a heat shield/blanket and associated plumbing. This must be a pull-type setup, with the carb on top of the new turbo intake. This means it pressurizes an air-fuel mixture, and not just the air.
