I usually don't like his custom work (with a few exceptions) but this one is not to over the top (except for the rear end treatment) IMO. Still would not want to own it, but so far it is reasonably priced (Bid to $20K as of this posting). What do you all think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1756116966...DOpshVgt16Jxe6nDS3csRe4A==|tkp:Bk9SR5bRj_7IYQ
I also don't usually care for his stuff, but this looks pretty decent. The front end looks like a '65 Corvair to me from certain angles. I don't mind the rear end. That big super teen sticker on the front fenders looks goofy.
I actually really like the hood. I think it looks pretty neat from the front. I find it incredibly interesting that whomever took the time to clean it up for it's glamour shots completely neglected to lift the hood. A 30 second wipe down with a dry rag would have been an improvement. I agree.
The modifications are interesting, but the paint scheme simply does not move me. I keep expecting to see the USPS logo somewhere. "When you letter needs to get there really fast!" It looks like there are 3 different panel colors in the dashboard. The glove compartment and instrument cluster panels do not match each other or the rest of the dash.
I really don't like to pull apart someone else's choice of upgrades...but I will. Along with the goofy sticker, I really don't like the stripe down the hood. I don't seem to mind the ones on the sides. But if it was mine, the hood stripe would go.
Man, the car doesn't look that bad, but that schnozz - especially when the stock Firebird design is so clean.....
In my young boy racer days I would have really liked that hood, but today I seem to prefer the flat hoods that the OHC-6, & 326/350 V8 cars came with. I like my 67 with no scoops and just the hood tach braking up the smooth lines. I can actually live with the stripes, & even the goofy front fender emblems? But I really do not like the levitating bumperette's both front and rear. But at least on this car he left the interior mostly stock. And I agree about the modes to the nose, I think the stock FB nose in 67 & 68 are though to beat looks wise. What I really find unusual on this car is that it is a Convertible with factory A/C! In that era both were expensive options, rarely seen together. Usually the buyer would go for one or the other, not both. I forgot to mention how much I dislike side pipes I will almost go as far as saying I hate them.
