I'm not one to pick on someone else's pride and joy, but when someone said there's no accounting for taste, he was right.

Why knock it?

Why knock it anyway? IMO it looks pretty good. We don't know how long he'owned it, but doesn't seem like he's trying to misrepresent the vehicle as he knows it. As "someone" said "haters will hate," but it seems like lots of folks are too quick to throw stones at others' rides.

I'd drive that, it needs some weight in the trunk to get the rear down a bit.

Interesting... I don't see why anyone would pay that much, though.

The price isn't that bad, it's a nice car.

I would put big *** tires on the back and side pipes on it. Then I would drive around jamming some Zeppelin, Aerosmith, etc. with a big smile on my face. Seriously, that's what I would do. Hell, I do that now in my '70 Cutlass wagon. It's almost like going back in time. I love it.

I'd set the wayback machine for about 1977 and hang a chili pepper off the mirror.

It reminds me of the kid who was reading magazines and just got his license and thought he was hot $#!+ with his car that had everything to make it look fast but nothing about it was in harmony.

This.
With the exception of the music, no offense to yours, but I'm from the mid 80's scene. I'd have to have some Motley Crue, Ratt, Metallica, etc.
Oh, and the 6x9's on the package tray.

All it needs is the rear end brought down level with the front.
The stripe on the passenger's side could stand to be straightened.
The green interior should've been changed with the repaint.
Otherwise, I like it.
I don't find it laughable.

It looks like a straight solid machine that someone takes care of. I would never laugh at that. I personally don't like the exterior colors or the fact that the rear end is way high but I like the interior. It's factory green and it's clean and straight. To top it off with the console and buckets I'd think it's kinda rare. (In that color)
Anyone here who doesn't like the green interior and is getting rid of it let me know. Mine is green and I'm looking to clean it up nicely like this one. I like black too but I'm gonna stick with green. I'm poor so can anyone help? I found a nice green dash (metal included..mine was rusted.. But it's not an AC dash and I have AC 😒 but it's the best I can find.)

The question has been asked on some other sites why the wing is on backwards and the sellers said to be different, they know its on wrong, why up so high in the back, they said thats how they were back in the day. Its been for sale for quit awhile.
Its a mess really with the color combo. I wouldn't give $5500 for it.

I think they screwed up with the wing and didn't know until later when someone pointed it out. Now they're trying to cover their a$$es. No one put a wing on backwards "to be different" SMH...idiots

That's a beater, so it's not failing to look cool.
