Re: Why would anyone do this to such an awesome car?!?
I'm not into it but can appreciate it. He is a car guy like the rest of us but with a different path.

Re: Why would anyone do this to such an awesome car?!?
I respect someone having the iniative to take a vehicle and make it better/unique/whatever to suit their tastes, totally.
However, that thing is unbelievably disturbing to look at, lol. Take a 6 cyl and make it look like that if you want, 'cause I can't see it performing very well with those huge wheels and suspension changes, etc. like a ZL-1 was built to perform. But, may God Bless America, where we can actually do carp like this if we want. Cheers.

Re: Why would anyone do this to such an awesome car?!?
In the context of the times, are these any different? Not my cup of tea, but many consider them beautiful and collectible. Beneath them are cars we love. Barris and Jeffries and the factories themselves created some things of questionable aesthetic value but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Dodge Diamante Challenger was a beautiful new 1970 TX9 black, SHAKER 4-speed hemi convertible...then it got turned into...that thing....but Mr. Juliano thinks enough of it to have it in his wonderful historical collection. Customs are really a subjective thing is all I am saying. I call it ugly someone else calls it art...it's like musical tastes really.

Not my cup of tea either - but not a whole lot different than this car from MCACN - an original Hemi car I'm told......... |
