Foose builds amazing hot rods, but there haven't been very many muscle cars that he's done that I've liked. It usually comes down to the wheel/tire choices and the stance. I think the Gambler 514 was ruined when they set it on those ugly over-sized wheels and didn't lower it more. Likewise with the Chevelle they did when the show first started. All of his work is absolutely top-notch, but when it comes to style, it doesn't always hit the mark. But that's with any designer or builder. I mean, the man has swept the past, what, 5 Ridler's?

I have noticed this also, his street rods are always right on in design, stlye, perfection.....etc! But his muscle cars are usually a little off in my opinion, maybe he is ahead of the game who knows.......He is still chip foose though and is on top of the car building world right now pretty much..IMO

I kinda liked the grill, at least from what I could see of it!

It is nice.. especially since it is not running a cowl hood or rear spoiler. They need to use the DSE wiper motor on the car rather than the stocker (on a car that expensive)..

I liked the rocker extensions.. I liked the lower front vallance. I was so-so on the graphics and I loved the color.

Foose said he will still be tweaking it and changing the dash and hood. I have pics and will try to post them later.

They aren't just buying up every Mustang Fastback and 69 Camaro they are buying up Pontiac GTO's, Plymouth Cuda, they are also now started buying 70-72 camaro. They are going to ruin it for the small guy.

I agree. I doubt they sell enough per year to make an impact. But I guess anything is possible.

I don't know guys, it's definitely not fugly. It is maybe a little over the top but that's Chip Foose. I didn't see it in person but a couple guys I work with have and they said they went nuts over it. Plus I like to see people try something different. There's a lot of Pro-Touring and even wanna-be Pro-Touring custom Camaros out there, getting tougher to create something unique, so you gotta try crazy ideas and Chip is good at that. here's a side view that shows the car better from the unique performance site.
