Bad

[unruhjonny]

BAH-HA-HA!!

I looked at this car earlier, and hadn't made it to this one;
The interior looks great the body work looks great, but those exhaust tips seem to my gut reaction when looking at it;
"they took the car 90% there, then stopped caring"

two more blunders;





It's 90% there at less than half the cost of the real deal;
I hope the body work is as good as it looks!

Those pipes are real bad. As in ��.
There’s lots of pitting on the trunk floor as well.

There are thick chunks of rust right on the rear Frame rail area in the trunk..

reminds me of why I don't like even the proper fitting straight out rear tail pipes on these cars.

I'm going with the later model splitters but going to shorten the splitters so they don't show quite as much. quieter to pointing down.

Seeing a TA (clone-ish) with idiot lights shows a basic foundational deficit. Also, they must have found a used "455" to bolt in. Nice rusty water pump.

[unruhjonny]

/\ nailed it!

I understand leaving some details for the next owner to finish, but to skimp out on gauges, and not even bother to freshen up engine bay... sheesh.

They look like they're sniffing for a gas leak.

[bird72]

Trying to explain to fellow car people why your TA has idiot lights, shiny paint, and rusty engine, would be like some poor fellow trying to explain a one inch pee pee on wedding night.

[unruhjonny]

that's a slightly flawed analogy;
your second example has "as built" equipment.

lol

I'd chalk that up to one of the small details the next owner can do.

If this car threw flames it could clean the ICE off RR tracks :P

[unruhjonny]

Ha!

[OVERULD]

Nice Wheelbarrow Handles. Will be easy to change the rear tires iif the new owner has a flat.

The spoiler ends are the '74-'78 versions. Most of the issues are easily corrected, but I have to wonder if the bodywork is suspect..

[bird72]

It has power windows and tilt wheel. If the energy put attempting to make it a big pee pee musclecar had just been put into making a well sorted out "Firebird", it would actually be a nicer car. All the fender / hood / flare effort and $$ would have covered a gauge add, a nice drivetrain build, sway bars, etc.

bingo!

[Greg Reid]

Even if I was the dealer I'd take a sawzall to those tailpipes. Those things are a tripping hazard!
