In 1990 when Chip Foose was a senior at the Art Center College
of Design in Pasadena, California, he got a project assignment
(sponsored by Chrysler) to design a car for a niche market. I'm
pretty sure no one had any idea the "Foose Coupe" would be that
car. Out of the mind of the now famous hot rod builder, onto paper,
and then as a scale model, the Foose Coupe took the hot rod world
by storm.
Fast forward another 15 years and - with a little sponsorship - the
Foose Coupe became reality. This is one of only five produced and
we believe it to be the final car. The Coupe is simply stunning
from every angle! The fit and finish are exceptional. The full
carbon fiber body is laser straight and the paint is blemish free.
The suspension was designed and built by Hotchkiss, so the Coupes
are as competent on the track as they are comfortable around town.
The engine is one of Jack Roush's fuel injected monsters routed
through a five-speed ZF transaxle to get that power to the ground.
The interior is minimalist in concept and execution, and almost
every button and switch is hidden. This is simply nuts! The crazy
attention to detail is how Chip made his name in the car world and
the execution is how he keeps it! This Coupe has fewer than 300
miles on it since it was delivered in 2009. This is the only Foose
being offered today so it's a rare opportunity indeed. It is way
overly detailed, wonderfully over powered, and fantastically over
the top!
