Title: Got JC Whitney?
Post by: 50tbrd88 on August 10, 2010, 06:10:52 PM
I would love to buy this car and rip off all the  this moron has pasted all over it (while still sitting in his driveway).  Gosh this poor car...

Some people make me want to :beatyoass:

Other than all the stickers it seems to be a nice car. I like the hood scoops, gives it a sinister look. Wonder what the reserve is?

Oh yeah it looks to be a nice car...but all the stick on  needs to go (including the hood scoops, imho).

Yeah, it's a nice four-eye, aside from the stick-ons. Looks nice and clean under the hood. Could be much, much worse:

Ive just never seen that much tacky chrome stick on  plastered on a Fox body.  That's why I posted it...

I'll say it again: aftermarket wheels that are not based on a factory design are ugly and make any car look tacky.

I disagree ,, some older muscle cars look sweet with Cragar SS or Torque Thrusts

Is that an early tripminder type device?  I like it.

I also somewhat disagree.  Think of the "torq-thrust" rip off wheels Ford put on the newer Mustangs.  Sure they call 'em Bullitt wheels, but they are 100% borrowed design from the original torq-thrusts from the 60's.

I will agree with you that there is something cool about putting newer OEM wheels on an older vehicle.  I was just eyeing some gunmetal Bullitt wheels for sale on another forum and was thinking how cool it would be to convert to 5 lug and throw those on my T-bird.

If someone buys it, they'd best take a tarp to cover the car until they can get into their garage unseen to remove the 73 pounds of bullshiznit slapped on that car.

Isn't doing this shiznit to Honda bad enough, why they gotta go pick on OUR babies. s.


Forgive me if I seem a little pissy...cause I am. :flip:

Wow...my friend wasn't lying. :(
 
That car belongs to someone I know, who keeps it and his late '70s 240Z up very nicely and only brings them to shows and cruise-ins around here. He's a regular, and has a heart of gold. So does his old man, who always tags along. Granted I agree, since the first time I saw it I've always tried to ignore the "goodies" all over it, I can't say he's got great taste. But a very clean car in and out.
 
They both have cancer and between 1 and 2 years to live. Not many know this, but last Friday another friend from the cruise-ins told me this. He's selling off most of his stuff and moving out to California. http://www.thedeadendcruizers.com/membersridesnews.html  He's about 3/4 of the way down in the middle (see if you can find me with my dark grey '38 Buick 4-dr, the only pic with a punk kid sittin on the runningboard LOL)
 
Just thought I'd let anyone that might be curious know why it's for sale. Not taking offense to the comments about the appearance, and he wouldn't either, definitely a "to each his own" kinda guy. I couldn't believe the news. I hope he enjoys every day he has left to the fullest.

Don't. I knew it would be that way LOL. But honestly I'm sure he's had people ask him why there's so many doo-dads all over it. shiznit, how would you have known? You didn't. Funny how those things work out. That's why I'm the last person to ever flip out on someone poking fun at me/busting my stones for anything. They might think different if they knew who I was, but they don't so all they know is what they see/observe.

Hey to each his own.  Hopefully that car gave him a lot of enjoyment through the years.

Just seems like I pretty much put the old foot in the mouth on that one.  lol.
