$1700 for THAT interior? Who on earth honestly thinks that looks decent other than the owner?

That is terrible looking. I would throw up everywhere if I had to ride in it. The good thing is, is that it can be changed.

So a roll of scrap material, and some spray glue cost $1700? Engine rebuild (probably new gaskets and cam) cost $3500? He probably paid $10K for the car too.

Guys guys, thats the rare Route 66 interior option on firebirds. I believe the RPO code was R66. I think there were like only 50 with that option, and only 10 of those 50 had ttops!

He says:
I decided to sell due to my age, resources, and time
AKA, I decided to sell because I have been physically and emotionally beaten by those who have seen the interior.

That is about as tacky as it gets. Wonder he doesn't have plastic over the seats and stuff like some old grand ma would do with her couches. Perhaps he took it off for the pics.

It's an insult to the gay community to compare them to that interior.

And his gfx look like they were glued over a white/gold two-tone paint scheme..possibly with the same glue gun he used for his seat make-over......the R66 RPO option was funny too.

...yikes...good luck fella

Any body that does that deserves the origional route 66 (pre 55) carved into their face with a hot tipped tire iron.

Send the pic to S.W.A.T.

Rather than tossing flashbangs they can throw pics of this interior into rooms. Same damn effect ... my eyes hurt now and I'm getting a damn headache from that piece of ****.
