Detroit Steel

Apparently, someone thought there was a market for a ‘71 Cheetah-themed C3 Corvette with a ’75 front end.

Bidding didn't hit 7k...pretty small market for that kind of customization...

Hi,
Ouch!
I think of this car when I think Cheetah!

A bit like this one I found at the Battle Creek, MI spring car show several years ago:

Easy Mike

I would think they were sadly misinformed.

Is probably in this price range. The problem with mods is they devalue the car by the amount it would cost to undo the damage...

I thought this was gonna be about the re body race car too...

But cool we get to trash another custom,
Okay, lets see, um ...okay I got it,
Here is a car that only Tarzan could love....oh yeah, and he can drive it in a new re boot of death race 2000.

While the rare and or low miles pristine especially 68-72's are still doing good on prices,
What is really fun to me is the high prices old school customs are fetching, some really radical cars needing full restorations are getting more than they would stock as just a tried driver

And people are grabbing 74-82's and doing all kinds of modern resto mods even some base 68-72's are getting modded not as radical as my 69 but stock sure isnt the trend it once was....

I was thinking (and hoping) the same thing.

Here is my car's old paint job. Just think, somebody paid money to have this done. And then an even dumber person bought that car (me!).

Are those cars painted or are they vehicle wraps?

That first picture creates an image in my mind of a hooker with a fake leopard coat.

Remember the old matchbox cars from the 80s that would change color under hot water? Your car looked like that. Also, I wonder why you never saw any paint jobs on real vehicles done like that?
