G'day,

What can I say??? Bill Mitchell was one of the greatest automotive designers of all time, and some dumb cluck thinks he can do better.

Hopefully, someone will buy it for a lot less than the $4,000 asking price and spend a few grand to return it to stock looking. Then it will be a nice car.

Regards from Down Under

You could remove the gills and put in a '57 T-Bird opera window. That would really make it pop.

From the ad.
"Runs V8 350" ok it runs, but how well? by looking at the pics, I see a anti-freeze bottle in passenger floor board, that is never a good sign.
"Some Body Modifications" Gee ya think????
"Body Looks Good " That is a matter of Opinion.

The body is primarily a Corvette, so the proper name for this is
Corstang.

I guess he did not like the bubble window on the stock. If I was going to do all that body work, (and I would not) I would have made it a split window like a C2.
