fixed it for you.

If that custom paint job was on a 318 powered coupe, it would be cool but not THAT Cool. The fact that it was on such a rare, exclusive car, and that none of the other owners of such cars dare to deviate from stock is what made it ultra cool. Kind of like if you went to see a Willie Nelson concert at a mega stadium he'd be all right. But if he unexpectedly walked into your local pub and jammed out a few tunes, that would be ultra cool.

. I hate slots on all cars, terrible looking wheels. Keystones would make it pop with that paint. Even if you like slots they are too dull for the rest of the car.

I too liked it better with the custom paint job. Now it's a over restored poodle.

I agree Keystones would have been a much better choice than the slot mags.

I’ve wondered if there would be any controversy if this had been a custom painted 318 car that was repainted back to its stock color. My guess is no.

I don't think I'd do that to a 318 car either.

A friend of mine just bought a '71 Cutlass that was painted in the late 80's and had an LS7 dropped in it. It's blue with gold splash graphics and some silver stars on it too. It's not a rare car at all but we're all begging him to leave the paint alone, it's just period correct cool and he agrees. He's not touching the paint!

even if it were a 6cyl car i think it would look better in its custom paint.
