One of my major issues with the "roundy round" car is the paint color itself. By looking at it up close and personal, the shade is off. When looking at other Fathom green cars, the car looks too dark. I know fathom green is a dark color, but even under the light the car appears too dark. This is just my two cents but the car's restoration does not hold up to many of the other cars that were up for consideration. I also agree with the origin of the parts that were used for the restoration. If the parts are coming from Japan or China, there is a definite difference in the quality as compared to NOS or original. The "15th Place best finish" Trans Am car is a good looking car, but are we going to throw the merit that original and NOS parts bring to a car out of the equation? The show itself is amazing and the amount of cars is awesome, but the promoters and judges need to take in and weigh all of the factors and attributes of the cars. All of these cars are beautiful, but there are a few that stand above the rest. Comparing that Trans Am car to the 67' Yenko is a blasphemy in the car world.
