Well, this comes to mind.... Man, why do people have to do this to 40+ year old cars??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1963...oryZ6138QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I thought dropping acid went out with conversion vans. Some creativity was severely misguided. That poor car.
Man, didn't even notice that touch of class! Doesn't anyone want it? He says it's a matching numbers car!(And what is that chained down under his hood, I fire extinguisher? I just don't get it. Couldn't afford it if I found a clean 1963 LeSabre, but...I don't even recall ever seeing a 2 door before! Even at BOP shows here in Atlanta....He found one though....sigh....
An old car dealer friend says there is an @$$ for every seat. SOMEONE out there might like that. But not me.
:blast: SELLER SMOKED TOO MANY ROCKS & IT"S TRUE THEIR IS AN A$$ FOR EVERY SEAT,SOMETIMES ITS A DUMBA$$!o No: CHUCK
this is a direct result of having too many dollars and not enough sense. I used to work at a bodyshop, and I can't even begin to could how many people wanted candy paint, big wheels, custom body mods, etc., but not once did I hear "can you give it a tune up?" or "why don't my gauges work?" or "can you get these retarded ass headlights to point down the road so I can see at night?" There's way too much MTV and BET and "Pimp my ride" mentallity without any thoughts of structural integrity, correct wheel offset that doesn't chew up wheel bearings, or bigger brakes that stop 26 inch rims. Like most of us who are somewhat mechanically inclined who encounter the befuddles "Wiggle" punks who want the bling more than mechanical harmony, I'm beyond frustrated by what people think is "cool" these days. To each there own, I suppose. Sorry for rambling. -Josh o No:
I try to believe that I am an understanding sort of guy, but I cannot wrap myself around desecrating a 44 year old desirable (in almost all circles) car. It seems like putting a mustache and a beard on an old, irreplaceable painting. There are plenty of 93 Cavaliers or (insert whatever non-special car you want here) that would be excellent candidates for such an exercise without damaging a classic car. It's terrible.
There are laws to protect historical buildings from destruction. How about a law to protect these vanishing cars from dipsh#ts like this? (Just a dream)
Agree completely!!! I guess lots of people just don't realise how rare it is in the first place for a car to last 30, 40, 50 years. Or care. I always feel sick to my stomach when I see a very nice old car in a new movie. Oh God, it's a convertible. Will they drive it off a cliff? Or just drive it into the water??? They know that there is something eyecatching about an older car, yet they so often feel compelled to destroy it. Remember the 90's TV show Due South? The policeman had a boatailed Riv, and they blew it up twice at least...made me wanna :blast: the producers of that show. Sorry for the rant. I do wish like izanurse said that a law could be passed to protect cars of a certain age. Folks just don't get that these will never be built again, and no one is really going to care about 93 Cavaliers 20 years from now....
The real sad part of all of this , or that , is that it's a really neat car ( if left alone ) . As a matter of fact if you want to mess with a car like that the real neat thing that could be done is leave the interior & body 100% stock , make it a low 1 or high 2 car . Then get under the hood and put in a 401 Nailhead with Dual Quads and stock chrome air cleaner , detail the engine , add dual exhaust and have 1 fine ride . Best part it's still all Buick but .......... way cool . George
