    I didn't like that look in the 70's and I still don't.

    Great car, very fair price in my opinion. A few tweaks and it'd be a stunner.

  4. Nice car, at a good price..naturally I would change out a couple of things, but that's true with any car I buy.

    Im sorry, but im diggin the interior. If you fogged charcoal grey pearl over some panels maybe with some lace or fishscales and bleeds, I think itd be tits. Or boss. Whichever you like better.

    the metric system? never heard of it.......

    Back in the day that stance was refered to as being a 'hundred gallon' set up. After loading around that much cargo the coupe would sit about level.
     
  7. That upholstery is badass!!! And I agree with it needing a wheel change.... To Keystone Klassics!!!!!!!
     
  8. My very thought. Reminds me a cars i seen at the nats in Memphis in 75

    Sucker is cool as shit. Even like the way it sits. Everything doesn't need to be crawling in the weeds. I'd be proud as hell to be cruisin' in that. Of course I'm Old school old guy.

    The stance sucks but the rest of it is pretty darn cool.................throw on a pair of bell-bottoms, crank up some Steve Miller and keep on truckin'.

    Looks like the roof gutter tails might have suffered at some stage they appear blended out a bit shorter than stock,

    In the first post, he said he saw it at Corvette Expo. What did you expect?:)

    Its a period piece drug out of a barn! A different period of course but it's still the way it was from that period. Period perfect. I remember building '40 coupes exactly that way! AMT 1/24 coupes!
     
  18. ......I must admit I built a dozen or so of them, including sedans, but I always used the dropped axle included in the kit.:D

    I too love that interior! The stance seems a bit high at first glance, but I could learn to live with it. No way I'd change that car up if somebody gave it to me.

    Love it. Old school. Really dig the interior too. Looks like a nice car for reasonable money.

    I'd drive it just the way it is
     
  22. Does it look like the rear fenders are cut higher and radiused? I know it's sitting high, but something looks off. I'd still buy it though.
     
  23. That's how mine sat back in the 70's when I bought it. Over the years I have fixed it, or ruined it.....depending on who you talk to! :rolleyes::)

    your 40 is perfect, both ways!
     
  26. I really like the car its different from all the others I've been seeing

  27. I love the interior too, I don't think I've ever seen another like it. And that's not 'paisley', that's 'tooled leather' which dates back how many hundreds of years?.... :D
     
  28. Do I detect some green eye?!

    Com on arkie, with the split rear window it's the even rarer 6 window coupe. :D
