I found this. What do you think?

Looks like a nice car to me.
Got some BobCat on the hood.

But i'd rather have it sitting on cinderblocks than those wheels.

At least they aren't 20 inch retarded clown wheelchair wheels. They are only oversize by one inch.
I've got a set of 14x7 rally II's to fix that.

Good looking bird, Sure does have long hoses on it?

gman598 07-16-2013 08:52 AM

I like it.

Battery on the pass. side? Hmmm...

A modified Pontiac without a Buick air cleaner decal.

How'd the hell that happen???? :confused2

Nice car, BTW.

I dont think he was going for originality with many things under the hood. Exterior looks cool for sure kinda Bobcat-ish

Held for Ransom 07-16-2013 12:11 PM

Come to think of it, my battery was on the pass. side too. Wierd, as you would think the driver side would be better.

The Boss 07-16-2013 12:44 PM

I like it!

Where was it delivered when new?

<Battery on the pass. side? Hmmm...>

Why is it a problem? That's where the factor put them; the washer bottle is on the left side.

Needs a transmission swap, then it would be a fun driver.

Nice car, I love the color combo & the stripes as well....the current wheels need to be put back on a boat trailer but for some reason I do like the whitewalls...I'd Love to see it with Cragar SS rims with the white walls very cool 60s look.
Good find!

Bingo.

I especially like the parchment interior.

Actually, all the first gen cars had their battery on the passenger side. The reasoning was that it balanced out the car more by having a 40-50 lb battery on the passenger side, verses having the steering box, starter, battery, and driver, all on one side.

The downside is the super long positive battery cable.

Cool paint job on this one. Just needs the scoops painted to match the white paint. Not exactly a Royal Bobcat scheme, the area that kicks out in front of the scoops is a much too severe, but it's fairly close.

Here another pic.

Special order color - congratulations!

Wait - did you buy it? Numbers matching? Docs?

se428bandit 07-16-2013 09:59 PM

Carousel red is a great color.

400 4spd. 07-16-2013 10:19 PM

I'm OD'ed on Carousel Red. I'd prefer Voodoo over that. Plus, the inner fender sides are black, and underhood surface is body color?
