Burple! Why because show car....

Im sure many of you have seen this car before, it one of those outside the box cars.
I mean pink head lights, pink wheels, who does that?
Its those details that set it apart from the rest of the guys out there, its that step over the line which really gives this car its personality.



Let’s go back about a year and a half ago. Many of you may have remember seeing this car or photos of it floating on the internet somewhere. At the time, it was known mainly because of it’s custom neo chromed Work Meisters. Also during this time, it was already a full-fledged show car. Car shows go through seasons and in order to consistently win, changes are made during the “off-season” every year which is very similar to race cars or track cars. See where this is leading? If it wasn’t clear, different people have different approaches to things. You can build a trailered race car or you can build a trailered show car. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Blurple was built to do one thing and that was to grab attention at shows.

You either hate it or you love it. There’s really no explanation to the modifications when it comes to show cars. It’s just made for show. Some pay for track days, while others pay for show spots. We can all argue about its looks for days, but ironically that’s what a “good” show car does, it sparks conversation. Good or bad it leaves an impression.

There are so many photos of this car online that we seem to miss the small details. The interior was done. Nothing was left untouched, everything down to the plate frames has been customized in some way, shape or form. The “ornaments” might not be your thing, but the models love them.
