My first thought was YUCK!
Still, you have to hand it to these fellas.
If that is what floats their boat then...

It just amazes me at the kind of $$$ they
will throw down a well. It could have been a Galaxie
or a Lebaron or anything but a Cutlass,

HA, that car is where I live. I've seen it on CL quite a bit (http://kansascity.craigslist.org/ctd/3709704758.html).

If anyone is considering to buy it and needs me to check it out in person let me know

WOW hello 1973! Does look like a lot of work, as mentioned - to each is own. I'd have painted it the 1971 lime green and left the grill and headlight/taillight surrounds blacked out, and interior black..... oh never mind

Welcome to Denny's, how many in your party? Table or Booth?

Wow, is that LOUD! The only things about this unit that appeal to me are the black and bronze pieces under the hood.

RE: the CL ad: CLEAN carfax??? Carfax says _my_ VIN from '68 is nonexistent...

It's not my taste in cars but would be good for attending a tailgate party for the Green Bay Packers.

I really hate seeing older cars butchered up. I have a problem when the dash gets cut for a radio upgrade. So this is way worse. But, it isn't my car. To each his own.

Well thats just great, Just when I thought I had come up with a paint scheme that would seperate my car from all of the others. Someone had to steal it, well I guess its back to the drawing board.
