That car was in Iowa and for sale in AutoTrader a few years ago fro $8000.  I like it, althought I'm not that keen about the wheels, but I'd take them.

You're never impressed by anything :giggle: It could have an enourmous jet engine in it with a world class paint job and your reply would be :sleep:

well its not a 5.0. I didnt care for it too much honestly. Not trying to be mean, yeah it looks cool, and is prolly fast, but I wouldnt buy/trade for it.

Well come on.  They might have spun up a pricey paintjob, buut they still stuck  wheels and tires on it and dumped in a lump of a carbed motor.....  the execution just looks half-assed, but they're hoping the silly color-changing paint job will sell the car.  I bet the rest is pretty stock....
Just not THAT interesting IMO

it's nice but I would definatly change the rims to something else too.

They used cheap wal-mart guages for the tach and in the dash too.

i agree mostly. i love the paint job. if i ever had it in me to be that flashy or for some reason wanted to be noticed id love to have it. the wheels are a far cry from my tasts. they belong in the early 90s. id rather see a modded FI 5.0HO in there than whats in there but thats me. with a paint jod like that IMHO youd need something of an interior to go with it. it was dissapointing looking in to the interior of that thing. i dont mean painting the plastic ricer colors or piping it out or covering everything with froggin fabric. something tastefull. if i was gonna buy it all id use is the body.

i deffinetly love the hood though. if fit was a little better anyway. i wouldnt realy want a lift off either. but its deffinetly got the look i want if i cant get my engine to fit under the TC hood.

i usually cant stand it when a whole (with the acception of the 04 mystichrome cobra) car is painted in the chrome illusion paint but i like it as an accent. i think the flames look sweet...for a show car anyway. too loud for a daily driver. id rather like to see i nice, cleanly done up car. cant argue its an eyecatcher.

Well I dont know about needing but I would definatly take it.  As with the poular opinion The rims would go Prolly keep the flames but repaint the rest.

If it were me, I would spend that $3,000 he spent on a paint job on suspension upgrades, a 5-lug conversion, a fuel injected 5.0HO with upgraded cam, heads, etc, and maybe some light interior customization.  Oh, and better wheels.  Then I would worry about the paint.

it has too many cylinders...and smells funny

they did half ass the car, they spent 3,000 dollars on paint, did an engine swap, put some wheels on it...but didnt spend 20 bucks to rattle can the engine bay? or even use some of the left over paint?

no thanks

It definately looks nice, but it is very much over the top.

IMO a change in wheels and suspension would make this a nice car. Maybe 18" 5 lug bullits on a maximum motorsport suspension. Its allllmoooost there, just looks like he ran out of $$$ after the paint job
