I can't help but to think of Marty whenever I see vintage AWB cars. He was instrumental in helping me to understand the history behind these machines - they're so cool. This particular one is especially schweet! Marty replicated it right down to the absent rear window. 😎 😎

@chris and @rich-sufficool - The one pictured is a little later, after Mr. Norm repainted it from blue to red. Personally, I like the blue better, but I like the graphics of the red car more. Also, note how twisted the car is when it was painted red. The chemically milled bodies couldn't withstand the physical torque-twisting forces from the hard accelerations.
