Goofy master cylinder...Looks newer than 80's

Paint definitely Car craft style late 70-early 80's

Is missing the whale tail and hooker side pipes, I agree. Needs the ubiquitous Cragar S/S rims as well.

Hard call as what to do with it. Though I appreciate it it is so dated in style I would bring it back to stock. BUt I do appreciate it as is sits.

The more I look at it the more I like it! Give it a wash/wax/tune and fn drive it! Like a said, 7" and 10" cragar combo on some ol' Pro-Trac or Super Stock Formula 1 Tires and its ready to rock! Its the perfect late 70's street machine I remember!

The poor T/A. Never got into 15x10's in the back, air shocks, 15x7's up front, sidepipes, molded wide flares, or rear window louvers for that matter.

That car no doubt DID have 10 (or 12) inch rims in back in the day. Those rim / tires are a later change out, the later TA rims on it didn't exist then.

It would be Keystone Klassic wheels.
They were awesome.

What do you think it is worth as it sits? Original carb is gone, functional shaker is there but gutted of the solenoids.

So the "good 'ole days" weren't always that good after all! Did anyone notice the dash plate with a later RTS emblem? That seems out of place in that car.
I know something else that'd make that car. A Craig 8-track tape player with 2 huge house speakers seat belted in to the back seat!!

Yeah, I thought the same thing, Ric. If ANY of the stock parts would have matched the wild exterior paint job, it would have been the engine turned dash bezel. That's one part (correct early non-air bezel) I would not want to have to find for this car, too.

Ever since I saw this thread, and the link to E-Bay, I've been trying to figure out where I saw a similar car to this one. I finally remembered where I saw it. This is not the same car as the E-Bay one, but similar in that classic 1970's custom look...

HO Racing?

Craig H. maybe posted that?

I always wanted to paint my car like that.

Guess I was lucky I didn't have the money.
