Don Boeke, better known as The Egyptian, has been a staple in the car customizing community for over half a century. His wildly customized vehicles have been featured in magazines all around the world, and his glass-like custom paint jobs and still being laid today. Don started customizing cars in the early 60s -- and his latest project has been in the works for nearly 50 years.



Introducing: RAMSES II


Ramses II is a full custom 1961 Corvette -- and Don is the original owner. He bought the vehicle in '61 and changed it up a few times over the years...but this time he went all in.


As you can see, one of the car's most unique features is an amazing bubbletop roof that looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons. The Egyptian and crew spent many hours perfecting the process of dome making, and it shows. The bubbletop is crystal clear and absolutely flawless. The canopy assembly is powered hydraulically and lifted using a full-custom setup the Egyptian's shop fabricated.



Some notable features of the car are:
-Full power custom bubbletop with remote control and auxiliary controls mounted in the rear of vehicle
-Full custom front end
-Full custom rear end and fenders

-Full air-ride suspension setup
-Custom-capped wheels that feature golden Luxor Casino chips
-Special blend of yellow/golden paint dubbed "Velveeta Pearl"
-Full custom interior and tablet supported controls
-A secondary roadster windscreen that can be used after removing the bubbletop
-Original rebuilt 283 engine and 4-speed transmission
