I can't express what I think of that on this forum without being rude. Only thing I think looks decent is the interior.

I'm sure there is someone out there that will appreciate and enjoy this car. That someone ain't me.

Some crackhead dealer will buy it for his woman.

That is one way to waste your money. $70,000 into a car that is only worth a couple thousand dollars.

I like the stripe work on the body. Looks great.

The trunk looks terrible though. They didn't pinstripe it to match, and the thickness is inconsistent.

Obviously, the wheels and tires are not my thing, but hey the car is pretty cool. Interior stayed true to its roots and isn't made of loui vitton and ostrich skin.

I love the hidden radio in the glovebox. Trying to keep the interior stock?

If you can overlook the gawdiness of the finished product,
a lot of sweat, money and craftsmanship in that car.

How does a two door have "suicide doors"? And what the hell is a "suicide trunk"?

Hey, at least it's Olds powered
and supercharged
how do you get power brakes from the intake if it's supercharged? Zero boost?

Sadly, I don't like the style at all. BUT I can't deny that it is a fairly clean build. The paint is a little out there, but I think if it was a solid color most would be singing a different tune. I would ALMOST say, solid white, leave the wheels and its not a bad looking ride. Remove the stereo system for something more tolerable and I would have to say. The motor is probably done right, and the interior is undeniably clean. $2000 deposit required, means its reserve is probably well over $20K
