    It's got some AWFUL trim on it, that can't be stock from some weird model I haven't heard of yet can it?? Or a dealer installed option? The trunk looks like it had a luggage platform or something at one point based on the pedestals there. Either way, it looks horrifying.

    I'll have you know the last local car show I went to in that area had some very nice rustangs, some late 80s cadillacs (which annoyed the guys with the 60s rustangs to no end) and some of the new chargers.

    This car would fit in perfectly.

    Bullet holes would have been a lot easier to repair than the caverns that I had to deal with :p
