I don't hate it. Has a strong early 70s Ford vibe though.

Re: Bet you have not seen an 84 like this

I’m intrigued and appalled both at the same time. Definitely some nice craftsmanship going on there no doubt, but in spite of all that why not make it look like a first or second gen Firebird rather than a Mustang/Maverick hybrid 🤷🏻‍♂️

Re: Bet you have not seen an 84 like this

When that car goes to an all-makes-all-models car show, they don't know where to put it. It's got a serious case of confused identity. I can only imagine how much labor and skill went into making that car. Can't really say anything bad about it, it doesn't look bad, and I have too much respect for the skilled craft work that went into it.

Re: Bet you have not seen an 84 like this

Too much Mustang for my liking. Especially from GM product. Maybe a little AMC Javelin thrown in. My neighbor has a 73 mustang and that hood looks almost identical to his. They say the engine is a Port injection 5.7 LT-1. Was this available in 84? I thought this engine did not get used until around 94?
