    To each his own, while it is a piece of automotive history, it sure seems that styles have changed over the years. I prefer the original body lines over the modified pieces, but would love the other mods for an original car. I had a 72 with the 1600 engine that was a ball of fun, one of those cars that I wished I had back.

    wow..pretty cool. I never even knew that car existed.

    Saw one in Cali at a car show many years ago and just thought it was a one-off custom.

    I love the aero look.. but I'd be afraid to pop up the lights because they're just so damned ugly.. at least until it was dark enough so no one could see me driving it. Course.. I guess that's what limo style window tint was made for too. lol

    PS. even more amazing is that they tested that car up to around 200mph at bonneville!
