Specialty automaker, Unique Performance had me at "hello" by reconfiguring salvaged 1965 and 1967 Mustang fastbacks into updated Shelby GT500s. Now, it seems those geniuses have had a similar effect on Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr., proprietors of Orange County Choppers of Discovery Channel fame. The father-and-son chopper-building argument jockeys recently purchased two of Unique s $100,000 GT500 supercars, and will build a custom chopper based on Unique s Eleanor, the GT500 star of Gone in Sixty Seconds. This mutual-admiration event, featuring construction of the two cars and the motorcycle, will be documented in a two-hour segment of the Orange County Choppers sometime this season.

Will someone bring me a tissue; my tears of joy are ruining this laptop.
