Why it’s perfect.

For the guy who built it.

For anyone else not so much.

Someone posted about this same abomination a while back, I was able to unsee it.

I honestly don't hate the front end, but the continental kit and convertible absolutely kills it.

At least it was a base bird.

It reminds me of that car that kid rock has w the western leather , beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess . Not how I’d build it

There’s that candy apple red one that had the Ferrari v12 or something if it I KINDA like but not really that much. This was the era though I guess
I remember a RAIV 69 bird done up w 78 style tail
Panel big flares etc by jack Romano in the 70s it was actually a cool looking car that way. Was representative of the corvette summer era. It’s restored stock now , but I’d like to see some cars from this 70s era restored as such to show what was going on a time capsule of the times

I wouldn t hate the front end either but it’s lacking the Pontiac. Nose treatment which is a no no Only because it was their calling card for so many years

For once I am actually happy the Pontiac engine was removed.

The front is Not unlike the Pontiac Firebird Pegasus , which I like. In fact it has more grill area. The rest , including the paint, is crap.

I find myself, having seen this monstrosity, wondering why I have too many eyes, and not enough ice pics to render them inoperable.
