Anniversary Vert

If anyone here is looking at the Car to buy, email me for the carfax report on it, I ran one on it since i have a subscription!!

I think the Car look's o.k. other than the big Chrome looking stripe down the side, In my opinion it would be worth more if it had been left as a Stock 87 Anniversary Z-28 Car. To each their own i guess!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Exactly what I was thinking, a clean car with chrome it doesn't need and wing that belongs on another type of car.

IMO the car looks like it would fit in well with the Mach 5 and Shooting Star on Speed Racer.

I believe the word you are looking for is "PIMP".

Yep, the chrome wheel opening trim and the chrome side strip
is NASTY, frankly I am suprised that the wheels arent sticking out
6 inches with white wall tires.

Somebody put a lot of money, time, and effort into making this a nice car. To bad they had very poor taste. I would like to see what they could have done if they had spent the money more tastefully.

The wing and the stripe have to go.

If defame + deficate = defamate then GMGod has the right descriptive word for this!

with minimal changes it looked badass. just replace the plastic, and swap some rims......
