I've got a few photos of it with a ridiculously huge truck-sized intercooler on the front. Vince Paragalli was the owner, my photo shows a red exterior, white interior, "LAUNCHA" in big letters on the side, "PLEEZN" NSW license plates, definite cop bait. Not very "pleezn" to the eye, FUgly as anything.
