And a bucket to hurl into.

I'm having conflicting emotions
The inner hot-wheels-loving child in me is screaming "purple, flares, flames, wow, this is awesome!"
If I was nine years old again back in 1975 I know that I would be staring at this car in loving wonder
As an aging adult now though, it just makes me wonder

I'm all for folks making their pony the way they want...at the end of the day, that's the fun of having one and restoring it.

This however, is not something I can get behind.

It reminds me of an apprehension I have with a lot of the "custom" shows like Bitchin Rides, or Counting Cars. Probably just because I'm old...but I cannot stand when these guys take a classic car and immediately have that first reaction to lower the damn thing to the ground and place these huge gaudy wheels on the thing. It seems everyone these days who works in customs seems to follow that trend. It kinda started (when I noticed it) back when Foos had his show. I don't like it. Never have. Just recently I caught an episode on Motor Trend...but for the life of me cannot recall the name of the show...but they had a 69 Camaro that they were rebuilding for a customer. The car was almost immaculate to begin with...and then they cut it up, painted it metallic sparkle orange, lowered the thing with these 20-something ridiculous wheels, and fabricated a new front end that looked like something out of an old Flash Gordon spaceship. It was downright awful.

So while this one isn't necessarily lowered or that horrendous, I just always walk away wondering...why the literal F would you do that to a classic car.

lol....I could not sound any more "old".

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Very much 70s Hot Wheels, I kinda like it as it's well done and not totally over the top. It would look great with a properly sorted out wheel/tire combo.

Reminds me of cars you'd see at World of Wheels car shows back in the '80s. There was a 1970 Boss 302 on the market recently that had a similar treatment: https://www.gaaclassiccars.com/vehicles/39911/1970-ford-mustang-boss-302

personally when they say bring cash I would ask WHY! I love our cars pure, I just can’t see changing the looks of perfect. But to each their own, and it looks as though this person put a lot of hard and pretty good work in to this car.

I definitely don’t hate it and you all are right about it being totally 70’s and 80’s and hot wheelish.
It’s just I’m old and a little more less flashing and attention sneaking nowadays.
I bet though if you pulled into a car show/cruise in with this it would probably be one of the most popular car there.

My first thought when I saw this was "Corvette Summer"....this one's not as over-the-top as the cars in that movie, but it's well on its way.

I have yet to see a car with the aftermarket or custom "wide body" kit that didn't look like something my dog threw up, then ate, then threw up again.

And it reminds me a little bit of the Super Camaro on Roadkill. That was a cool car but I wouldn’t own it, with my own money anyways.

 

[tony-muscle]

wow.... not my taste I think that if they wanted to make a "wide body" mod at least they should match the front spoiler to the extended fender flares. The gap looks bad and unfinished. And no idea why they added a 73 rear bumper!
