Hm! The stripes don't work for me, the hood has potential, if you want to deviate from stock.

Dear Chuck, Kevin, and 65GS.com "window shoppers," . . .

Thanks for taking the time to post this.  I don't have time to keep up with the eBay car ads so I appreciate when oddities are brought to our attention.

That is a strange.  For all the work that went into this car not making the air conditioning work seems unforgivable.

Restomods are a kind of artwork and I suppose we have to allow different artists the freedom to express themselves.  But this one just feels off.  It doesn't find a sweet-spot between originality and modern conveniences.  It really feels hodgepodge.

Nonetheless thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

I like the resto mods when the changes improve drivability and safety, like overdrive, disc brakes, better cooling system, ac, wheels and tires but then leave the vintage look. See a lot of these on Power Tour as it makes the cars easier to take on a week long trip.
