It's back, and just as bad

This car has been appearing on and off on the local craigslist /fac ebook mar ketplace for almost 10 years now.

The first time it was in black primer.

Then black primer with red & yellow conduit “quills” on the ridge of the front fenders and the center of the hood.

Then in gloss burgundy with only a few quills on the hood.

And now in gloss black with no quills.

The interior has been reworked at least once to look more complete.

And at no point has anyone doing all this bodywork addressed the jarring mustang nose. Which implies they are proud of it, and don’t think it is the reason no one ever wants the car.

I’m curious what the next version will be...

The rest of it looks OK, certainly a lot of work done to only be recouping $5500. I don’t know how you could fix the front though,  maybe you could cut away enough plastic to fit a '40 Ford or '41 Chevy grille under that hood bulge? 

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > Pixel 08/08/2020 at 12:08

I am assuming this was created by a boomer who “enjoyed” a certain scene or two in the 70s?

From the fro nt wheels back it’s not horrible... I’m not sure why you’re go to that much work grafting sheetmetal onto a Fox chassis, but different strokes. With some rhinoplasty it could be decent.

I like this expression, its underutilized. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Pixel 08/08/2020 at 21:12

I remember this looking a lot worse. It’s still bad, but it was worse.

What a horrible waste of an SN95
