Nice paint, otherwise it's one of the ugliest things I've seen in a while. I was going to bid, but the current selling price of $100 was just a tad bit more than I thought it was worth. $95 maybe, but not $100!

:rofl:

Looks like A-class work but it resembles a Prowler on crack

Why not just screw up a Prowler. I think he could have saved some money in the process.

The bidding is up to $202.50

That's more than I'd spend on that car :crazy:

I guess that's why they make chocolate and vanilla :yesnod:

I was surprised to see that the car is located about twelve miles south of where I live. I've never seen it at any shows around this area. Might be worth a ride to see it up close just to see how well it was done even if the style is a little ah, unusual........

Interesting that a 66 frame with a 67 engine seems to be registered as a 72. Wonder where the VIN tag came from?

Might be worth a ride to see it..
Only if you're going down there to run other errands.

Ask the seller where he buys his drugs. I'd like some of what he's smoking.

Saw it in a magazine feature a year or two ago. The workmanship I think is top notch, but definately not my thing.

I'd rip the motor out and drop in a chrome bumper convertible!

It may not be my choice of styling!! :crazy: but you do have to admire the craftmanship that went into it, the interior looks very sharp, as I said I wouldn't want it but alot of hard work has gone into it :cheers:
