The trunk’s shape, bumper, and tail lights just look so cool to me. I also like the fact that it isn’t a common car being built. I wish all badges were completely shaved just to keep other’s guessing what it is lol! Now I know resale value won’t be anything like a ‘69 Camaro or ‘65-‘70 Fastback, but I’m not getting into it to buy and sell either. I know I’ll take the hit when it comes to that, but as for now I do plan on just enjoying it for the long while. I’m sure we can negotiate a little bit on the price, but considering all the work done and parts involved, wouldn’t you say this is a very good deal?

Yes, for the work involved this is a good buy. The car is nice for sure. As long as resale ian't too much of a concern then yes, this car has great potential for sure as long as you like it. In the end isn't that all that really matters anyway?!?!

Listen, I built a Ford Maverick, so I get liking different body styles and wanting to stray from the norm. As long as the car checks all the boxes for you then this should be "the one"!
