Seems like a pretty good deal for buyer no?

Got it --- yeah that one is pretty ugly too... but obviously at least two people loved it enough to pay 150 grand for it. Taste is all personal -- what one person loves someone else hates. It's hot rodding - to each his own.

I could never figure out why they put a front plate on that car

lol, actually I was refering to the orange one, (goes for the blue one too though) Everytime I saw it, I couldnt stop seeing that damn thing hanging off the passenger side bumper, so out of place.

The problem with some of these builds is the owners never saw anything they didn't want --- that blue Camaro is part Pro Stock -- No pro touring - part show car - mostly girlie... part hot rod with bigs and littles... to me - it's just a complete mess.

I agree completely. Maybe that's why cars like this do okay to well at auction. There is something for every buyer in that car. Seriously, the majority of buyers seem to people who like cars but aren't "gear heads," who I think tend to be much more involved with trends and are therefore more discriminating buyers.

That orange one though, it just drives your point home further. It is epitome of your comment about owners never finding a part or design they don't like. I seem to recall the license plate was "NVR2MCH" or something similar. At least they're honest with themselves and open about their, uh...issues.

Steve, I hear what you are saying but here in Nebraska it is state law to have a front plate. I am assuming the owner was driving it on the streets. I would of thought they could have come up with a better placement for the plate especially with the money spent.

Pretty Much summed it up right there. "Show" cars and especially "show" muscle cars are, for the most part, proof that men have horrible taste. Apparently anything bright enough, that's had the entire billet specialties catalog thrown at it qualifies as design these days in most hot rod shops.
