Got JC Whitney?

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?
FOXLESS!!

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

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:
