since your asking for opinions,mine is that its over priced, unless it comes with all the orginal parts as well. It appears to be a nice car,but you can buy a real big block,not in that good a shape, for that price. Noting there were no big blocks that year of course.

Looks great from the side
Looks bad from the front
Looks absolutely terrible from the rear
My $.02
From the pics it looks like the body work is high quality, just bad taste.

IF you're into customs then:
1. First to need replaced is that fugly hood.
2. Remove the Camaro lights (maybe replace with some C4 style).
3. Try to figure out some way to move the headlights.
4. Fix the tatty interior (notice the right door pull missing and the horn button?).
5. After that it would need a repaint.
Based on what I think it would take to get it right (for a custom), you're looking at maybe 10K minimum, so it's already overpriced....

typical 70s custom from the era. Remember, this is the same era that guys wore bell bottoms, platform shoes and polyster shirts with 3 top buttons opened and a gold chain. Ahhh the good old days!

It's not THAT bad.
The hood looks like something out of the 80s supercar style that is kind of like the automotive equivalent to listening to Motley Crue. I hate that look but it's the easiest thing to change back, still expensive though.
I really like the tunnel window with the 80-82 bumper with the spoiler lip. The tail lights are interesting... It isn't really a terrible look on its own, without knowing that twin circular tail lamps are supposed to be there.
The headlights are the worst, they just plain look weird and are the hardest thing to change back.
The thing that makes it look so bad is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. The mods don't all go together to create a consistent look, they're all just kind of all thrown on there ***** nilly.

That Vette reminded me of the Vette in Corvette Summer for some reason.
Actually, it isnt that bad. Considering the year. It is something you might see in the late 70s for a modified car.
