What is up with the glossy dash? That would be terrible to actually drive. Looks like a cartoon car.


Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

A bit too pimpish for me but at least they didn't put an LS in it.

As a general rule, any "pro-touring" or "resto-mod" that ends up at a dealership is going to have many questionable decisions during the build process.

Pro-Touring style has gone on too long and is starting to cross over into just messing up perfectly good cars "just because". If you have the urge to change everything you can about the car inside and out perhaps you should start with another type of car? I'm fine with modifying cars to a point, but some of these are getting ridiculous.

I saw it go across the block at Mecum Indy last year and it was a mess of a car. I think it has changed owners several time since Indy.

At least they color matched the door latch mechanisms. Most restores do not take that extra step panic

I really want a Challenger convertible, but this one hurts my eyes. What a hot mess!
