Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

A scabrous and awful car. Beat up, sun bleached, sun rotted, worn and icky dirty interior. Bad repaint. 44 of the Mario Andretti Humiliation Version of Lotuss World Championship Commemorative Model. Front bumper recovered with duct tape but the restoration apparently ran out of money for another roll because the rear bumper covering is simply removed and the energy absorbing foam painted Black. Barely runs, too. It rates a 5+ only because it is capable of moving under its own power.

Market commentary

This is one of the worst cars seen at auction in a long time. It doesnt even reach the standards of Fright Pig, being more of a Fright Slug. There was no money in Branson on the Slug and it will now go on eBay where the seller hopes to unload it for $3,500 or $4,000 to someone who needs parts (although there appear to be precious few on it that are worth the time and effort to remove.)
