Definitely not my bag.

Looks to be pretty clean though. Wonder what all the Knight Rider switches are on the console?

The designer was an a$$-man.... The guy must have been a "Trekkie"; looks like Sulu's control panel inside.

Hopefully, they are "self destruct" switches

There seems to be an awful amount of RED vettes for sale at this time.

I have seen a number of 70-72 rear clips on ebay lately, and if you "clipped" the car, or simply went with stock fenders, it wouldn't be that expensive. Unfortunately the asking price is high.

BTW there is a full Daytona Convertible out here on a 1974 454 Convertible! A rare car thats been modded with all that bodywork! Of course I want it to paint it with a Greenwood scheme...

Pretty hideous.

Nice donor for my Photoshop thread with the Cragars, though.

Ad writer isn't very good at the whole apostrophe thing, either.

If the price was at all reasonable, it would matter.

I'd much rather have a '72 with a matching numbers engine and a goofy Can Am rear clip I could easily knock off, throw away and replace, as opposed to a stock rear clip and a wrong motor.

My Grandfather used to say....."It would be a pretty boring world if we all liked the same thing....." I wonder if he'd still say that if he saw this car.....

This one was on here before. I remember the ad saying "one-owner garage-kept for the last 23 years", and someone here cracking me up with the line "Yeah, own it for another 23 years and PLEASE keep it in your garage!".

I like "nine kinds of Ugly" too, kind of sums this one up.

There is no accounting for taste. At least it is fixable.

AAAHHHHH! My eyes!

And, as the owner of a 73, I must take exception to the statement that 72 was the last year of the chrome bumpers...
