    Don't know what the inspiration was for this, but they did it.

    I'm not sure what's more horrifying, the car or the phrase "that someone has did some major modifying to."

    I always hated Novas, but that's kind of cool.

    Dig that octogan steering wheel also. All in all, not a bad job. Kinda reminds me of the 789 kit for the Corvette.

    I would love to own that car. Late model fuel injection (think TBI, nothing special) and run it 365 days a year.

    There are two that hit the local car shows, Grand Ams with 1949 -1950 Ford Tudor front and rear sheetmetal. I think it's a kit. As Quasi pointed out; old look, new reliability.

    Grand Ams? I've seen kits for later model Thunderbirds with the '49-50 Ford front and rear, but never for GM cars. Interesting.

    My meth dealer used to have a car like that.

    Nothing says "Cool" like an octagonal steering wheel.

    +1...but I kinda like it. HOWEVER, "$3500" and "very rusty" shouldn't be in in the same ad.

    I know some MG owners who would love to have that wheel.
