I'm really on the fence on this one...there's things I like about it, like the colour combo, but things I really hate, like the wheels... :thinking:

....and If you're going to add a rally hood, paint it the same shade of blue...Just a tip :rubeyes:

The price, I think is optimistic too.... ::)

It'll be nice to see it once it's finished.

I love the colors and that interior is gorgeous! I agree those wheels are not right for this car and the hood thing is weird. Seems kinda pricey too but I think everything is too expensive now so I'm probably not TBE right guy to ask that question.....

I agree Alan. I'd like to see the car with the flat hood and GC's look good with a classy set of Magnum 500's.

It's a pretty rare car being a 4 speed with AC....they should have just left it alone... :alan2cents:

Super rare... Big Block, 4spd, A/C, Rally Dash & Discs on a Gran Coupe...

dhh

Just my opinion. Love the colour Como and that it's a rare car ,G/Coupe just one thing when adding the rally hood it's always nice when the hood springs and hinges are body colour  ,Price. A little high but who knows it could sell time will tell I guess  :australia:

Looks like 341  Gran Coupe 383-4 with 4spd now add air.. Probably less than 50 cars...

Sweet looking car!  I actually like the colored rims with all the blue color.
What in the world did they do to that hood.  It looks terrible. 

Doesn't seem like there is much wrong with it aside from those few problems. 

I did notice that the drivers carpet appears to be original as it has some discoloration that would not come out with the carpet shampoo machine.

Cool car but I would make some changes. Just not a fan of painted steel wheels on E-bodies and agree that the hood looks odd. I also find it funny that they left the fender tag all rusty even though it is clearly not all numbers matching survivor.

Since I am not buying, the high price tag doesn't bother me (:

Someone mentioned rare car and listed "rally dash" as one of the options.....I figured it was added because for some reason they are using a non-rally dash heater control which is really odd because A62 is clearly on the tag... :looney:  and of course the steering wheel should be blue :alan2cents:

Couldn't agree more, especially those "cop wheels" :pullinghair:
