Gotta be the worst!...

[Midnight Special]

..."tribute" car I have ever seen! A painted up "Auto-Quest" shopping spree that appears to have been grafted from a '70 coupe (check the roofline).

Good Golly!

She be a coupe with some ugly rear vent louvers!!! But I have to admit, I needed to look at it twice..... Time to give up beer!

I can't decide which I hate worse, the horrible reproduction C stripes, the side view mirror, or those butt ugly quarter louvers.

Ugh, what a mess.

Definitely, a what "not to do" to your Mustang advertisement.

Scott, I suppose we can go ahead & buy it, paint it black and set it aside for a remake of Mad Max... No?

In my work I see a lot of poorly done remodeling. We call it remuddeling. That car has been remuddeled!! A hole lot of work for nothing.

OK, I'll give everyone a chance to take a shot at me. If he would've left off the out of place pillar window louvers and the rear louvers and done it as a Shelby de Mexico clone, he might have pulled it off.

I also had to take a second look at it because it looked like a '77 Volare to me.

Steve, I was thinking the same... I also saw the Volare / Aspen look Arlie was talking about. Perhaps we should all join Rob in giving up beer...and switching to whatever the restorer was drinking!

FUGLY !

 

[teamlo]

I'm gonna try something. When I get home, I am going to consume a 6-pack of PBR (tall boys, of course) and then put on my sunglasses and have another look at it.

Is this a garden hose sticking out of the trunk?

 

[robert campbell]

Nope! Accent lights for under the fenders!! YAAAA BAAABEEE. If it don't go, chrome it and light it up!

One of the biggest mistakes of Val and I's life. Got married in 1978. Val owned the Fastback and for gods sake, I owned a 1969 Cobra Jet Ranchero.

Any pictures of Val and Rob leaving the wedding in a cool car???

Nope, my bro-in-law had a brand new 1978......... Wait for it....... Wait more...... Chrysler LeBaron!!! Yep, real Corinthin leather!!!! R%emember Ricardo's ads??

Man I wish I could go back in time!!! Just shoot me!!!

As I recall Ricardo Montalban hawked the Chrysler Cordoba. My Mom had a 1976. :grin:

 

[Midnight Special]

...Yep. It was the CO'oordoba.
Johny Carson asked Ricardo on The Late Show: "What the heck is Corinthian Leather?" Ricardo said that he made it up! Chrysler liked it & ran with it...

 

[robert campbell]

My wife won a car arguement on this one. Called my bro-in-law and yup... Cordoba. What an ugly piece of crap.

One day they will be a collector car?

...Hmm... 'Don't know.
'Guess that would depend on if there's any wrecking yards in Corinthia.
Scott may know!

We can always clone one using a '70 Mustang coupe!

 

[admin]

Wow! Ummmm...wow.

It's not just a coupe with rear quarter louvers. They actually modified the rear pillars to take the coupe swoop out and try to graft in the fastback lines. That was a ton of work by someone.

I couldn't help it. I just had to put these shots together:

.Oh and was this the Aspen you were talking about?

 

[Midnight Special]

...AWEsome Jon. Thanks!


Indeed it must've been a ton of work, but not bad craftsmanship considering...
Very unusual to say the least. Those Aspen vents look pretty close if you were to flip them over and mount them...

How about this one? Is this the start of an epidemic?
