I don't like that look on any car. I love lifted pickups, but on cars, that's just stupid!!

I know what your saying, thats the one year that really looks good, most of the preceeding years are a little more boxy looking.

I saw that car driving around here. It's UGLY. A waste of a perfectly good 67 T-bird. I like the 67-69 body style too.

Would you really drive down there and punch him because what he did to his car? What will you do if he is a BIG guy and doesn't like being punched in the Throat? Get ready cause a couple years back I made a comment like this about a car and Lots of members when NutsO over what I said. Yeah I don't care for what that guy did but it is his car to do whatever it is he wants to it!

We should have a stickied thread for pictures of the tacky and the utterly tasteless. Maybe even a "caption this photo" contest would be fun. Pics like this make me think of beaterz.com back in the old days. He even had categories, like rice, urban oddities, and a whole bunch of others.

Maybe that's the guy's way of showing respect... paying homage.  Think of that?  Not everyone has the same taste in customization, etc. 

Maybe everyone else on earth thinks an H.O. conversions and TurboCoupe hoods are a waste of time on cars that, for the vast majority of people, are just cars.  I can't tell you how many of 'our' cars I see driven around beaten half to death, rotted out, not taken care of. Just buy it, drive it, junk it.  It's an old car.  Would it be better to come across a 'classic' in that kind of shape?

IPSD- LOL Son, they don't come much bigger than me.  BTW, people take shiznit to literally on the net....

Ifixyawata- I would hope that "paying homage" would include just a slice of respect..... for the car, and ones' self.  A 5.0 conversion in a TC is a far cry from this abomination.  The "Donk" fad is nothing but ghetto wannabees that think they have "baller" status because they put huge  wheels on classic cars.  Ever stop to think how unsafe these cars likely are?  Homage you say? I think not.  Dude needs to put down the rock if he thinks he's getting 28,000 for that heap of car abortion.

I know they're ugly, unsafe, and quite ridiculous.  No one said you had to do your car that way.  But nevermind... lynch mob!  KILL! KILL! KILL!

As a big fan of the late 60's Birds, I have to ask....WAT?

If the price came down enough, I'd consider buying it, and doing a suspension swap, lol.

Sorry but I'm going to be a smartass for a second so bare with me.  Dude, did you even see the pictures of that car?  I'd rather see it junked out and rusted from many years of good use than ruined by turning it into abomination like that. 

What exactly would you be paying respect or homage to by doing that?  The lords of gayness? lol.:punchballs:
