    Nice wagon but the paint scheme is to his taste. If you never want to sell that is OK - otherwise you must fine someone who likes it as much as you.

    I dunno, it's a Helluva lot better than some of the paint jobs I've seen lately. This is more understated, and closer to the original tu-tone factory jobs of Yesteryear.

    I could live with it. Can't afford it and don't believe it's original enough or even custom enough for that money.
    Like mentioned more built for the owner even though I do like it.
    When building a vehicle to sell the owner needs to keep it in line with what most people want. This one will have a smaller market.

    I love the car (as I would!!!) but I agree with ModelT's thoughts, not original enough, not custom enough for that price, I would have thought. And the paint scheme, whilst new will definitely divide opinions.

    I haven't seen a lot of these for sale, and I've really only been looking at them since I bought mine, but are the really fetching that sort of $$$? The 390 is nice, and I guess pushes the price up a bit, along with the paint and interior, but I'd be happy if I was the seller and got that amount for it.

    Repainting the hood would quiet most of the objections to the paint scheme.

    I agree. Done with some taste. Not far out like some.

    Agree. I could live with the paint scheme, without the craziness going on, on the hood.
