Default Vette / Eldorado 72 Hybrid

Hi

In the German E-Bay, a 72 front driven conversion with a Eldorado engine is for sale.

Do you believe that somebody has put all his effort into this ?

Might be a great job, but what do you think about the outcome.

Ithas never been registered in Germany , so pure show object so far.

Hmmm....front wheel drive, it'll make a good winter car and the body won't rust out from the salt! Hey durango_boy, here's your car!

There is so much to like. The long rear end, the red overspray on the wipers.

My apologies to the builder.

and those headlights


Looks like they came off an opel kadett

I think we have a winner here..nothing can ever beat this one when it comes to uglyness and being just plain wrong
