MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

The Sashimi Tabernacle Choir was once just a simple 1984 Volvo. Now it’s a functional art car peppered with singing and moving fish and lobsters.

The Sashimi Tabernacle Choir was made by Richard Carter and John Schroeter in Houston, TX
There are 250 fish and lobsters bolted onto the car
Each of the fish had to be opened, gutted, and rewired before being mounted to the car
The fisha are controlled by a computer and speakers in the car’s trunk
The car performs at parades, school, museums, and charity events



MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
