Edgerrin James will be riding in STYLE to the Hall of Fame … TMZ Sports has learned he’s tricked out a classic car for the special occasion — and it’s DOOOOPPEEEE!!!
We’re told shortly after Edge learned of his HOF selection this past February … he handed off a 1975 Chevy Caprice to a body shop in Florida to get it Canton-themed.
And, while it ain’t all the way done yet — it’s clear the ride’s a BEAST!!
The owner of the body shop tells us damn-near everything on the car is new … from the HOF wrap job to the 28-inch gold Dayton Wire Wheels.
We’re also told the shop replaced the engine with an LS3 supercharged Corvette motor … so the thing is pretty AND fast!!!
The shop’s owner says James is already thrilled with the ride … and is planning to take it to his induction ceremony — which has been rescheduled to next August due to COVID.
From there, the shop’s owner says James will have the rest of the inductees sign the car … and then the former Indianapolis Colts great has plans to auction it off.
Unclear where the proceeds will go … but something tells us it’s gonna sell for a helluva lot!!!
