I would love to see this one in person. There are many cool restored cars at MCACN but I would walk past all of them to check this one out.

I'll be the one standout and say ugh! I will however say it took some talent (and maybe a bale or two of good weed). 8)

Back in the late 70s when I was a teenager, you seldom saw a stock muscle car.  Mag wheels at a minimum but often custom paint jobs and of course mods and chrome under the hood!
Now days, most you see are restored back to day one, so it's cool nostalgia seeing one still in its 70s glory like this one.
That being said, not something I would do now or want to see in my garage.

I would love to do a car with some kind of `70`s paint or just graphics again, I did my `69 with gold metalflake flames, matching steering wheel, 8 ball shift knob, bare foot pedals and more cool stuff. The guy I sold it to stuck a big block with a scoop out of the hood.

I'm there with you on this one. The color combos, layout, and overall look doesn't work for me. I appreciate the talent and guts it took to do this, and I would walk past a bunch of restored cars to look at it, but they kinda missed the mark, IMO.

Being a kid in the late sixties, I can recall trips to the drag strip where cars were covered in metal flake, lace, fades, scallops, and blends, but it was usually within a narrower range of colors that complimented each and flowed well together.

I personally LOVE this car - I was born in'71 do late 70s early 80s was a lasting impression as an 8-10 yo - wild times for sure and as a kid who wouldnt love all the wild colors and psychedelic patterns???

I love the old 60's and 70's Psychedelic paint schemes.
