he just passed away a couple months ago. the car is for sale now.

It's very sad that he passed away, but I don't see anyone buying that car. Our cars do not look good chopped, and it would be more time/expense to put it back than it would be to just buy an unmolested one. I predict it'll get parted out and go to the crusher.

If I remember correctly he didn't build it. It was built in 1985 by someone else. I had the pic of the info, but I think I deleated it.

I managed to pull the pic from my original post about the info.

If everything on it is as nice as it appears to be on the outside, excluding the top then It might be a really awesome parts car!

That thing is the definition of "hooptie", to each their own but that is the oppsosite way you want to go when customizing IMO

What about making it a convertible?

by dynchel Sun Mar 09, 2014 9:46 am

The chrome wheels look out of place on a dechromed car IMHO.

by driveit Tue Mar 11, 2014 2:02 pm

The wheels I am getting are the same color as the ones below. I wish I could find a set of these on a g3 chevelle with size info. Here is a pic on a Camaro. These are 17x 8 and 17x9 with 245/45 and 275/40s.

Like the front end, but I don't know this guy was think with the fake engine in the back.

IDK I think it looks pretty "Pro-touring". Pretty creative job while using a stock Elco 76 grille.

In my day bad meant good or cool. Very Happy

Mostly I was referring to that monstrosity in the back. I agree on the bodywork in general, though I detest those wheels.

And IIRC back then 'bad' could still also mean just 'bad'. Smile

I ignored the engine in the bed...LOL

In our neck of the woods if it was really bad, like crappy, it was "whack". Cool also was "Dope". I think my generation started Ebonics. Rolling Eyes

Doing all that front end work I would have not molded the license plate into the bumper, I would have left it off.

If your state tolerates that. In NY you'd better have both, or the cops will treat you like public enemy #1.

by dynchel Thu Apr 17, 2014 5:56 pm

I'm so glad Ohio doesn't have the inspections you guys all talk about. Yes we are suppost to have a front plate...set it on your dash you'll be fine.

Ditto in Massholechusetts. It's so they can catch you running red lights & tolls (bastards). I have an old green plate that just goes on the rear & is "exempt" that we've transferred from car to car since 1993.

by driveit Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:02 pm

No inspections here! Thank goodness... Mine probably would not pass one.
