I'm on the fence about this one...

I think the shifter handle needs to be just a little taller.

For the price, it was not planned well as it fails on fine details.

The paint job was done wrong, they painted the panels separately rather than all at once. Even I know that you don't paint metallic that way... Look at the pic with it in the sun of the front fender versus the rest.

Cheap looking cloth rather than leather for the interior. At least step up to suede.

Cleaned up the firewall but left the heater core / blower setup. Go custom ac/heater and smooth it all out.

Puny side pipe out hack off before the rear tire...with a big block, not even a chrome tip?

The "coved" rear window doesn't flow with the '65 body. If it were a '66-67, maybe, as they had that originally.

The quarters seem to be pushed out too far somehow too... They seem out of proportion.

I would expect a lot more for 70K for the same reasons John mentioned.

I'm no where near the fence on that one. I'm as far on the "that's ugly" side as you can get.

Very dated early-90s look IMHO. The directional wheels, tweed interior, color, flames, shaved everything, and billet doo-dads.

All stuff I thought was way cool when I was reading all about the current trends in the magazines in about 1992-1995... after pro-street, and before pro-touring took off.

Details, first thing I noticed were the joints in the wood decking on the bed floor.

I respect and admire the craftsmanship that went into crafting the tail lights and rear window sweep but......some guys just don't know when to stop.
