Actually, I like it.  Not thrilled with the targa-top look, but there's a lot of inspiration to be had from it.

Looks terrible in every aspect to me.  :eek4:

Whole side of the car is just bland.
Front valance is, well I'm not sure what that is.
Whats with the green underside?
The targa is just not flowing with the car at all either.

It's not for everyone but looking at the slideshow it looks really nicely detailed.  You see in the pic where the targa top is off, the area at the top of the windshield has a little pentastar molded into the foam.  Nice little touches.

Aside form the color, etc... that would be a very cool cruiser.  Targa top off, great sound system, handles well and has plenty of punch when you need it....

Current bid is only $19.70!  Wonder what the reserve is?  :clueless:

First time I ever saw a targa on an E-body, or any old Mopar.  I used to know a guy that took a sawzall to his '76 T-Bird and a '80 Malibu wagon.  Both turned into targa tops and had a vinyl cover with snaps to close up the car.  Nice cruisers.  :grinyes:

It reminds me of a convertible I saw a couple years ago. Neither does much for me, but to each their own I guess!

Just lost my appetite.    :eek4:         Nice cars I'm sure. Clean,Straight,Ect..   To me they look like poop.  :bigsmile:    The '71's got a cool intake/carbz. Like the reverse hinge. Not sure about those salt flat wheels.  The front valence/front bumper together looks terrible.But I LOVE the side exit exhaust!!! on the '70.

I like the molding in of the bumpers and the front valance. The side marker lights shaved clean up the side of the car.  The Roof sucks, and the big wheels are just not for a 'Cuda.

I have two questions about this car.
First, can someone explain the rear suspension set up.  I am unfamiliar with that exact set up.
Second, is there a K frame that looks that good available on the market or did the builder blast and paint that K frame to look like that?

I don't like the targa top.  To each his own. Customs are cool.

Air bag suspension? K-frame looks factory but they took some time to smooth it all out.I also hate the shaved door handles and why did they fill the trunk with that fuel cell instead of putting it in the stock location or at least dropping it as low as they could?
