What were we thinking back then. But again they will say the same in 20 years.

The 90s came the Chameleon paint job:


Then the 2000s brought us Candy paint jobs

80's and 90's???? That's like the kind of stuff that Art Himsl and Andy Brizio, first started shooting in the 70's.

Here's a link to a picture of the winner of "America's Most Beautiful Roadster", from the 1977 Grand National Roadster Show.

Was probably awesome back in the day, Car looks like a good restoration candidate, wonder what shape the frame etc is in
Paint can be easily changed, at least it doesn't have the full Fur treatment

Too late

ZZtops Legs
Tres Hombres would be better

Nix that. REO Speedwagon and Journey.

A Rubix cube
Required.

But fun.

I remember thinking at the time that kind of customizing was just flat cool . . but it was the 70's . . .

I still think that car would be fun - - for about half the asking price or less . . .

Probably it's just me, but if my Corvette came with Ferrah Fawcett it could be covered in grass, painted pink and you could call me Sue as I'd never notice nor think about it.

As for that car - looks like a good resto candidate; and I'd leave the paint, it'll be just like the dragsters from the 60s - looked like crap back then, but smells like money now

Wow! That car is straight out of the 80s when I grew up. Gag me with a spoon! It's awful.

Hi,
Notice the second car Kevin G posted.
It seems to be having an.......identity crisis.
Windshield say PRINCE, license plate says PRINCESS!
Not that there's anything wrong that.
Regards,
Alan

Looks like it met a phone pole and a flood.

That's 70s stuff. Sometimes progress and the passing of time isn't such a bad thing.

Buy it cheap and enjoy it. When the fragile "show-quality" paint is toast, paint it however you'd prefer.
