awesome or what?
I was looking around Craigslist and I ran across this listed for parts in a junk yard. I think this is beyond awesome. its got a pike nose, huge fender flares on all 4 wheels, the nochback, an oversized spoiler, quad exhaust, and dual taillights. thought id share this rare gem I found in a junk yard. if I had the cash I'd ****** this up in a heartbeat.
heres the CL link: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/ptd/4130950186.html

Re: awesome or what?
Given the choice of awesome or what, I vote what. I really don't like anything about it, MAYBE the notch. Only if it didn't have that bulge on the deck part. It just looks like an abomination to me. That's just my opinion, some may like it. Sorry for my brutal honesty, but you asked.

Re: awesome or what?
i don't know why people are apologizing, i asked. its obvious not a lot of people like it because that is the only firebird ive ever seen like that, heck its the only one any of us will ever see in our lives. so i threw it up here

Re: awesome or what?
My apology is because you seem enthusiastic about it and trying not to hurt your feelings. I guess the old adage of if you can't say anything nice should have applied, but it's late and there isn't much else going on here.

Re: awesome or what?
It's mostly terrible, but the quad tail light setup is kinda clever. Might have looked good with better execution.

Re: awesome or what?
Custom is about being unique regardless of what others think. The designer/builder obviously thought this is epic. But he is selling it. ????

That thing is hideously tacky in a cool 70's retro sort of way! It's a moustache AND a ******!! Just loose the giant wing and finish it off with some metal flake paint.

Re: awesome or what?
There was a company making these. I don't remember the info on it, but it has been discussed on here before. The cars I've seen were red. There was one for sale in Lafayette, IN I think it was, a year or so ago.

You guys have no imagination. The super bird in joe dirt looked like a piece but you know a finished one is beautiful. This things a little dusty and misaligned but those tail lights are the coolest thing I've ever seen on this site
