I somewhat regret passing on that car. It just didn’t do it for me. A super nice car, but had zero options, and I mean zero. Not even a sg rear. I don’t think I could be left it as a survivor, but I sure wouldn’t have chopped it up. I didn’t have the heart to make the changes I’d want. Obviously these guys didn’t have any hesitation. Really think they could’ve started with a basket case so the hobby would have an extra car, instead of a good one that already existed. It’s not like some extra bodywork would’ve broke the bank here.
Had a custom roadrunner been my desire, I'd have started with a taxi cab plain Belvedere. On the other hand I'm so jaded I walk right past show winning customs and muscle cars to look at cars that were every day common when I was young.
ZZ Top did the same thing with Cadzilla. You'd think with the extensive metal work they could have started with a less pristine example.
