Recently, it was reported that Worldwide Auctioneers is about to auction off a car, which is not a classic limited edition sports car of Ferrari or Mercedes-Benz, but a 1979 Chevrolet van. Its prototype vehicle comes from the movie "Tianlong Special Attack Team", which is not the same as the original model in other aspects except for the color scheme, which is highly restored to the original model in other aspects.
In terms of appearance, the two sides adopt a split headlight shape, and the headlight shape is very square, and at the same time, it is equipped with a large quadrilateral forward grille to make the front face look more retro. In addition, an anti-collision guardrail has been added in front of the front of the car, which can more effectively protect the front of the car to reduce damage and look more impactful.
On the side of the body, the contour lines of the whole car look very tough, and the three-color body paint also makes it more recognizable. At the same time, the convex wheel arches on both sides are combined with the multi-spoke orange wheel shape below, which further enhances the visual effect of the whole vehicle. In addition, the waistline design from the front of the car to the rear of the car is also more powerful.
In terms of the rear tail, the rear tailgate adopts the two-way door opening method, and the tail lights on both sides are rectangular design, with a large size spoiler above the roof, which further restores the design style of the original model. In addition, the new car also adopts a harder rear bumper design, which more effectively reduces the damage caused by the new car during rear-end collision.
In terms of interior, the interior of the car is a four-seat layout, and the rear row uses independent seats, and the roof is also equipped with a step radio station, the shotgun and automatic rifle in the car will not be sold with the whole vehicle, and the hanging in the car is also to commemorate the original comedy action movie - "Tianlong Special Attack Team".
It is reported that the Chevrolet van produced in 1979 will be auctioned on January 23, 2021, and the current value will far exceed the purchase price of that year, which is indeed a very good choice as a collection.
