And You thought Erics convertible was Odd

I found this little Gem in Bradenton Florida on my vacation.  Just look at it.  I about droped a load! 








Me and my friend saw this on the way to the beach at a car repair shop.  Earlier in the week I know I saw one that was the 83-86 bodystyle.  I thought this was it but after realizing it was an 87-88 I guess I saw two!
One 88

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

There's this audio place by me that has had a red metallic one since they were new.  I pass the place maybe once every 2 weeks.  It's been there almost every time I can remember and still in good condition.  I'll get a pic next time if I remember.

ok understand im sick of seeing these things and im sick of the once a month resurfacing of these threads, they are a ation of a lovley car. Just an OPINION, my take on the cars are while in a category of thier own they are unique and yes i guess you could call them rare, but they just dont look good in MY OPINION.

Our cars arn't the only one to get Basterdized like that.
This one looks like a late model Mustang to me.
