Hideous? I think so..
Ah well, to each their own I guess.
I don't hate it. I'd take it if I won it in a raffle.. At least it ain't been crushed.. What do others think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...&vxp=mtr#v4-37

I wouldn't say hideous. It's like an old school custom. Depends on the angle from which you view it
 And thats a cool, Offy valve cover!

Yeah, I'm starting to appreciate the amount and quality of work, especially the hood reconfiguration. I just asked him for some rear photos and dash photos.. I'da thunk he'da hadda V-8 in a custom like that..

The only thing I dont like is the wheels. The front end is actually really cool!

Those headlights don't fit the look of the car. Not digging the wheels either, but that's an easy enough fix.
If the front end had a more traditional look I'd like it a lot more!

The crusher would be merciful.
Bad taste in every modification. Sad. |

The guy that did the modifications was certainly talented. Unfortunately, the customizers taste leaves a lot to be desired.

At least it's not...
Just another tri-five Chevy. Not sure I'd drive it, but the workmanship looks well-done, and it made the owner happy, so....
To each his own.

Looks like someone used every trick out of car customizing book published in 1989.

Costs a lot to make something that ugly.
The two antennae are brilliantly stupid. I could like it with another 15k in mods to undo some of that crap.
