It's alright if it's used for drag racing only, otherwise I'm not that crazy about it.

The saddest part is that you know a lot of work went into making it that way... Some ideas work and others don't. I do give the guy credit for trying however.

With that said

Definitely aweful. The lines and angles on the tail are off, way too sharp. Could it sit any higher off the ground? All I have to say is, why?

The guy wants $6500. From the description you'd need at least $20k to finish this POS. I agree with a previous poster that for all the work done he could have made the rear view look like a 63 & not like some Italian import.

BTW - It's got 588 rear gears in it.

This is the first thing I thought. If you are going to do something wild, at least have some vision or continuity. Why would you do all that work to the "split" and then leave the tail 5 feet in the air at a sharp point with completely retarded home made looking tail lights? How hard would something Corvette-looking be.

Yet another example of the fact there is no place where you find more bad ideas for awful modifications like the C3 series.
