Greenwood sold these cars in the 70's and there were people who would buy the conversion. Although it is no Yenko, Greenwood stuff is collected. I'm sure the trend in twenty years will be something different than what we are doing to these cars now and they will look upon some of them we created today as if they were something from the "disco era" as well. It is fashion in a sense as the guy first driving the vette you own today might have looked like a John Travolta Saturday Night Fever character. You don't hate the design of your car, however you are not wearing the clothes of the era the car was produced in. To each his own.

Nothing at all wrong with honesty!(or opinons)I'm fine with it.I don't approve of startin a flame fest but to each his own.The humor I found was taken in another direction.I was not thinkin about the direction that it would go.I made a mistake by sharing this and I'm man enough to appologize for that.The world is too small to make enemies.
To anyone offended,Not my intention.Nuff said.

No flame fest, YOU like you car and that's great, it's YOUR car but don't expect everyone to like it nor tip toe around so as not to offend you if they don't like it
