Geez, who takes a QQ1 Bright Blue and white car and paints it black?!? :P

I don't know if it could get any more stripped. Almost like my Challenger. But mine was an awful light green to start with.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

The first image looks good but things go down hill from there. But I do get a kick out it having a slant six and three speed manual trans. You don't see that often.

Too bad the effort to refurbish it wasn't to put it back to original, because that's where the most value and interest lies in an oddball like this.

I can actually envision a /6 fanatic springing for this car.

Soon to be a 440 4 speed R/T clone.




That would be my first order of business....I'd drop that boat anchor of a /6 out of that engine bay before it had chance to cool off!

per the fender tag - only one OPTION - "white wall tires", & I'd bet it had "deluxe wheel covers" to go with them - but that's it  :hah:

It would be different to have for the oddity that it is, but he's trying to get restored money for something that needs a full restoration. I don't think so.

The rear window trim delete, custom wood grain grip steering wheel from K-mart and the

1970 style back seat are all nice touches, too.  :eek2:

The car didn't even get front shock absorbers!

no center link
You guys both need another bong hit...I see shocks AND a center link! :slap:   ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Nice pics.

Shame that engine would barely move such a big vehicle. That definitely has to get replaced.

What kind of steering wheel is that? - I like it... and it isn't too big either, just right. Dimensions anyone?

I believe that it's called a Tijuana Special and it's sized so you can drive with handcuffs.
