looks like somebody whacked the poor thing with a giant slipper.
thing is, outside the group that thinks "dude that's tight", everyone else think the car is broken.

What an eyesore. Why didn't they lower the rear more, narrow the front beam more, and add more accessories? If you're going to do something, the intent is to take it all the way.

I'm sure there is some room for one more notch in the back... and few inches on the narrowed beam... |

I'm not old (well... thirties...), and not normally known for moaning about other peoples choices on their own cars, but slamming that car really has made it look deeply uncool.

I think the Mix of looks doesnt work , M/H street slicks with a resto cal stance...
BUT its the owners personal choice and thats what makes the scene so diverse.. each to there own..and its nothing that cant be changed...!

Leaving a "cal look" car like that is like asking a dog with 3 broken legs to tow you on your 10 speed

Actually that's Conrad's car and he likes it like that. Everybody got different tastes. By the way, it's not correct to say: it's UGLY... You have to say... I don't like it!  So, if you don't like it like that just do what I did with Shubee's 67 CONV. Buy it and put it back like it was! Before:  After:  Please don't blame me cause I took it on the track.... Actually, now it's mine, so I do what I want with it! |

My rule is, "If people outside of your immediate hobby think that your car is broken, you need to re-think your style"  Sometimes we never step back and look at what is "cool" in our little segment of the hobby and ask ourselves why a certain look is cool. Is it because it improves the performance, appearance or value of the car or is it because that's what all the cool kids do? I am not so hard-core traditional that I cant appreciate other styles. I love almost everything Pip does for example, but all that negative camber with slicks is just plain silly. Like 200 hp cars with stock shifters or Berg 5-speeds with spools...one thing defeats the whole point of the other. That sure is a cool ole car though. |

Or a Berg 5 coupled with a 14:1 compression motor  Where are you going to drive that thing, anyway?! And personally, I like cabrio's to sit a little lower than their sedan counterparts. If it was mine (which it of course isn't!) I'd set it right between where it was and where it is now. Another thing about the cabrio... It's missing the chrome trim that goes on the back around the bottom edge of the top, and if it's an early '67 it would have trim on the bow above the rear window, as well. Not picking it apart, it's a beautiful car and I wish I owned it! I just did a top on a '67 last week, so the details are still fresh in my mind |

Not sure about the wheels and the 2110cc with IDA's... Maybe it was an option back in 67. |
