Oh, that one?  She is currently sitting in my secret underground garage, along with a HEMI Superbird, a 71 440-6 GTX, a 68 HEMI Barracuda fastback, a 69 Mustang Boss 429, a 70 Coronet R/T ragtop, and a 71 HEMI Superbee.  Oh, an all cars are #s matching, and fully restored.

But I would take it this way

Do any of ya'll think that style will come back?? Would someone do one that look's like a Day 3 car...that 71 is a whole lot more than a Day 2 ride :wasted:

I know it`s a little overdone `80`s style but I kinda like the color combo.I wish I had pics of my buddys old `70 Mach 1 he bought around `79 or `80.The previuos owner did one of those mail order custom paint courses and used the car as a test board.It was white and covered in custom graphics- flake,pearls,fades,swirls-you name it every panel had some different effect.We called it the circus car `till he got sick of us giving him craap and primered it!

 Ok GoMango  where did you get your superbee from? (in your pic) It's cool looking

[Choppintime]

Are those Centerline wheels? They look period correct. I'd think Cragars, Keystones would look good on that car also. Any other ideas?

[360 'CUDA]

The wheels are not Centerlines or Super Tricks.........

Just somebodys cast aluminum clones   American racing maybe?

[GoMango]

Hey B71C, its one I cut out of a scanned sales brochure I have...thought it would be something a little different

Those lace and panel paint jobs were real common in the mid 70s. The chopper industry started it - Molly's paint in SoCal did tons of that work for AEE and it dribbled over into the car world. I remember lots of guys having those paints on the cars. I spent my money on go fast parts. Friend had a 69.5 6bbl runner in hemi orange and one weekend it showed up gold and glod/burgandy/candy apple panelling and lacework. I almost cried.

I have a few magazines from old 70's Custom Car shows.  I'll try and dig them out and scan some pics of Mopars and post them.  Lots of over the top paint jobs.  :beer:
