I am sorry but that car actually disgusts me. To each his own I guess. All
it needs to complete the interior and carpet "theme" is some round portholes
in the rear deck to allow light into his "den" )like the Pinto wagons had) and
a set of hydraulics to make it dance. I guess thats why all our cars are
different. I have no problem with mods which fit the style of the car and his
theme doesnt fit the car IMOP. It is more fitting to a 64 Impala. Maybe I am
just a purist in some sense. Doing what is done to that car is kind of like
painting a 64 Jag XKE in Kameleon paint... not MY cup of tea but who am I:).

I wouldn't call it a restoration, but I would call it a custom job. I think
it looks pretty good, actually. Worth 15K? Not sure, but I probably wouldn't
pay that much.

I agree with you Leo, it never ceases to amaze me what "complete
restoration" means to some people. Iris is a complete restoration. Why
would you go to trouble of rebuilding a car only to paint the engine
red, or
yellow or blue when it just as easy to do it right. My car is not a
"complete restoration" by any means and I wouldn't call it that. I
wouldn't
think any one looking for a car would be interested in a car with
vinyl
glued to the dash and carpet up the sides etc. especially when it
would have
been just as easy to do it right. I can't believe it is at $15K,
what's up
with that?

Is it just my tastes or does this car look like it went through the
"pimp my
ride" shop.
