'68 Firebird WTF

Tragically, there are many more photos in the ad. Not mine, etc...

Freaking is not the appropriate word here...

This makes Knurled upset enough to talk in the third person.

Really, sometimes I look at stuff like this and wonder, did the person who perpetrated it buy a stack of leftover/discount scoops and flares from JC Whitney, a few 5-gallon pails of Bondo, and have at it for a few months?

a bit of grinding and the bondo comes right off

Must have been some good drugs in 1973!

this is a rust free 1968 pontiac firebird one owner 68000 miles out of new mexico

the crime was committed in 1973

Cheech says..........Far out, man..... Gotta paint it Acapulco Gold!

Someone really, really loved Corvette Summer.

Kill it with fire.

I see some questionable structure in this picture.

These creations do come up from time to time, and lord knows I am not one to judge another mans (peyote?) vision. But I see the amount of effort that went into making something this bad and just shake my head. At what point did the builder step back, look at what he had done, and headed off to rehab?

I'm BATMAN!

Hmmmmm ......

Sad, the '68 is one of my favorites. At least the drivetrain is salvageable. Save the manual!

I don't know if I'd go 5 k. But it looks like most of the hideousness is added and not cut in. For a rust free shell it might be worth all the itching that would come from removing all that fiberglass.

The sequel to Corvette Summer?

Firebird Fall?

This wasn't going to be the sequel, it was the prequel. this was done in 73, the classic Corvette Summer came out in 78. This car is a gold mine, it's the proto for the famous and tasteful Corvette Summer car!

Wow... misguided vision or not, somebody put a lot of work into that. A perverse part of me almost wants to see it finished.

Acapulco Gold - absolutely. Providing that means metallic gold with a bit of green metal flake.

In 1973 that was a pretty worthless car. Just a five year old grocery getter.

While I have no idea what I am looking at, I do see plywood. I see fiberglass and I see shelving. What I don't see is rust free solid car.

Did they cut the frame and use the shelving unit to push it forward?

EDIT: figured it out. The picture is the underside of the nose. Quality work.

Ok, I don't hate it. But I'm a self-admitted fan of the 70's Custom craze.

At least the fiberglass body was placed in the correct position.

I am at a loss for words. Truly the drug problem in the 70's really was just that bad.
