Is this Fugly or am I color blind
Wow. What else can I say. Post any more ugly that you have seen. This one is very hurtful to my eyes.

I cant get into early noses on later cars. So from that standpoint, fugly.
I dig the color though, and if the interior was all red, not just the seat, it would look 100x better.

Really like the paint. Not crazy about the contrasting seat color (if that's what you mean), but that's a pretty simple fix.
I've seen much worse and I'm sure someone will post one.

I guess if you can't find blue,
Then red will do. Easy to fix. The nose change is okay with me, but I'm partial to the 70-73. |

I don't hate it. I like the 79-81 back ends and those fronts are awesome too. It would be better with the early back window and what has already been said about the seats.

Love the color!
Putting red seats in a blue car screams "I ran out of money & couldn't get my seats recovered" to me. I have no complaints about the body mods as that is one of the great things in our hobby..... Do It The Way You Like It! God Bless Bill https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

"Putting red seats in a blue car screams "I ran out of money & couldn't get my seats recovered" to me."
Sort of related.... There is a local car collector that has a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am in Lucerne Blue with a red factory installed interior. Exceptionally rare, likely custom-ordered combination. .

Black and blue spray painted door panels. Dash bezel with no rings. Console cut out for power windows. Car is a cobbled together POS. Scabbed together with whatever junk they had laying around.

Fugly no. In bad taste, most folks would agree. But for all we know this is a divorce forced sale of an unfinished project.

My 73 Formula is Admiralty Blue with an Oxblood interior. I think the combination looks cool.

From the internet.....
"A 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula in blue with an Oxblood (red/maroon) interior is a rare, desirable combination for the second-generation F-body" "The 1973 Firebird had the fewest choices of interior colors in the entire second generation run. Gone was the green or blue interior option" (see note) ( source- upper right hand corner here : https://www.tran-zam.com/fhistory/1973Interior.aspx ) Edit: To add above note .
