eBay Star Wars Cobalt goes to the Dark Side of customization
Click above for gallery of the Star Wars Cobalt
Star Wars fans, behold, your dream car; too bad the listing has ended. The original owner of this particular piece of automotive art apparently had a serious love affair with George Lucas's space-themed soap opera. Painstakingly painted across the surface of this unassuming Chevy are images of Yoda, Han Solo, X-Wing fighters and other movie characters, as well as nebula and galaxies originally photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. This would have been just the thing to drive to the theatrical premiere of the Clone Wars. A lot of work went into this paint job, though it would take a level of dedication we don't have just to own it, let alone drive it in public. After all, it's a Cobalt underneath it all, and it's emblazoned with the stigmata of the basement dweller.

Yeah I bet the ladies would love just a plain silver cobalt. Then you add a cool Star Wars paint job but also have the silver "rip" away into the Star Wars... He probably is selling it cuz he is a big enough player now.

Wrong you are, in the way Yoda speaks.
Crushed this car should be. Burning, my eyes are.

All it needs now is some deep dish 13x7 wire wheels and some white wall tires, and maybe a custom crushed velvet interior with R2D2 shaped front seats.
WTF?
With the money this tool spent on that paint job, he probably could have gotten a better car, or at least a better optioned Cobalt, maybe even an SS.

This reminds me a lot of a DBZ Mustang I saw in a magazine probably 8 years ago. If I could find the issue I'd scan it because they don't exist online.
