If you like it as much as we do then you're in luck because the custom/resto-mod called "Tantrum" is for sale. No price is listed for this one. You'll have to call Fusion Luxury Motors in Chatsworth, California, to ask if you're truly interested. Whatever the final sum turns out to be, you can bet that it's well into...
