Big fan of these cars, but not so much this one. laugh2 Not sure when it was done, but looks straight out of the early 90's.

Nothing a paint job and a new set wheels can’t fix.

You must have missed the interior pix.

I like everything about it....except the interior and exterior. If I bought this it would be because I had just changed my name to Vanilla Ice....

If not for the interior, which is in nice shape but ass-end ugly, it would be cool with a paint job and different wheels, and IMO, the chrome back to chrome. But $31k for a car that needs everything unless you happen to like the pastel era? Oof.

From the listing: Jan 1990 edition of Mopar Magazine

I thought I had seen this in MCG back then..... work shruggy

I vaguely remember the story told that the guy and been shot and the car saved his life by getting him to the hospital quickly? He 'customized' the car for saving his life. Or something along those lines. The pinstripes were finished off with bullets.

I think the chop itself isn't too bad, it's everything else looking so dated that looks bad. If it could be had cheap and updated, it might not be so bad, but, that'll never happen.

In a moment of boredom, tried to find some history on this car and found it for sale out of North Carolina not too long ago for almost $19K. And now Gateway wants $31K for it.........

Agreed at that price. I love the car, but it would have to be repainted and new interior. And new wheels. $hit, thats pretty much the whole car.....
