Looks a bit like 'Space Invaders' meet 'Kit Car'....
Go for it Ron, probably gets good gas mileage with that 327...

The lights are atrocious but I like the rest.
Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

I agree with Peter, the lights look horrible. The sills and front spoiler also throw the look off in my opinion. If the bottom was left original or had the side skirts of a grinnall it would look pretty sweet (with a new paint job of course).

I LOVE IT!!! Not keen on the colour or those weird eyelid things but the reast is awesome. Looks like a different gearbox by the angle of the shifter?

Well, It has a Chevy 327 engine, so I am sure the trans is Chevy also.
They accentuated the swedge line of the car. I think the light would be acceptable with out the eye-shadow lids! Somebody call Mary-Kay!!

I kinda like the body kit, dislike the headlights and exhaust[:0]! And <b><i>really</i></b> dislike a Chevy motor [:(!]

Like the overall look of the car,dislike the headlight treatment and paintjob,and prob. would have gone with body-colored bumpers at that point.

I reckon it looks pretty close to Harris Mann's original sketches.

First thing I thought was "Hotwheels" (I suppose thats Dinky or Corgi or Matchbox if you are 40 something)
I quite like it - apart from the "tunnel vision" headlights that is, and the fact that its white and the Chevy motor and the Wheels.....this could turn into one of those "What have the Romans ever done for us...." sketches..
But...I'm not sure I'd want to actually own it....
