OK, I've got to cop to this: I wanted to see if anybody else would see what I missed. That's not a real car; it's a 3D render, modeled from a photograph. Here's the original:

Well, I knew you had a reason to ask the question.

I stared and stared and could not find anything weird.

The only thing I noticed was that the door handle looks to be crooked.

That is one really good model maker and an expert photographer.  Wow.

My next door neighbor's shop did that car.  The only thing they did not do was the engine.  Here is a link to more pictures of the car:

It's most obvious if you look at the headlights and the front running lamps. Also, as TinCuda pointed out, it's missing the parking lamps. But when I first looked at it, I couldn't tell. I was looking for pics to use as a Challenger screen saver, found that image, and then noticed that the guy was talking about all the rendering work he did.

Loco340 - very cool. I've seen other images of the original. I agree with everyone else about the wheel choice, but otherwise it's one sharp car.

It is a very sharp car no doubt.  I love the way the engine looks.  I don't care who you are, if you pop that hood, people's jaws will drop!

Anybody know what size wheels & tires are on that car and what they did to make all that rubber clear?  Every time I see these E Bodys in all black with big rubber I get weak in the knees.... Especially with the flat black or ghost stripes like this one. Nothing looks better in my mind.
