Not bad, actually I think its tastefully done. Not a fan of the tufted interior, but not bad....

Wow, very similar to a friend of mine's '69. His car was a wrecked vert when he bought it. He used Eckler's body kits and turned it into a coupe, with the same slanted rear window as above. Not only that they have similar rims, and even similar side pipe covers. Very cool comparison.

I like the car like it sets. Tuffed seats and all. I think it is a very clean looking car. I don't know that I would change a thing. If you change the seats, then you have to start thinking about changing the exterior, then maybe the wheels. I like it like it is.

I am not into mods but I rather like the car. Very nice C2 side pipes. Mileage is a question in my opinion. Lose the logo on the backend and it would be very nice! I wouldn't buy it but it sure looks very nice.

Should have been painted purple like the "Plumb Crazy" Mopars of the 70's.
