God bless, the poor thing really needed it. Looks great now, though!
Mistakes were made...
... at the ACE event auction.

Do the trains have new front plaques? Do they no longer have plaques at all, are they not running 3 trains in 2020? What is this?
They said it had been replaced but did not elaborate if all of them had been replaced or just this one, or when it was done. An up close look shows somecwear and tear on it.
@AlpenChariot my sources tell me it’s vein converted into a walk through attraction
Clearly you need to make a custom car bed, but instead of a car it's an Apollo train.
But then when you wake up with night terrors and throw your hands in the air, it will look like you're riding the ride.
As a person who grew up where lowriders are commonplace...
Here's what needs to happen: we need to convert an AC carriage into a moving vehicle that can be considered loosely "street legal." Bonus: the auto body should not be more than three inches off the ground. Double bonus: hydraulics and switches are to be installed for maximum street cred.
Then, we get a custom paint job. Preferably something burgundy. Light metallic speckles. You feel me.
Now here's where it gets crucial: we need to get a mural airbrushed on the back fender. This is what I'm thinking: a beach scene, with waves crashing off in the distance, some nicely placed palm trees, and of course, our custom car chilling on the beach (like it's on vacation).
Thoughts?

If it has speakers that play the AC lift hill music nonstop too then I could get behind that.
It should optionally play amateur karaoke as is heard more frequently at Apollo's these days.
Here's what I'm going to say on this whole thing though:
I'm pretty sure it found a good home, and it's good to see someone that appreciates not just the ride but the park as well. As opposed to some random person that just wanted it because it 'looks cool'.
