Those look like concept cars for 1971

 interesting hints there, like the halo roof...
this GTO Judge is cool '70 Firebird front on it too..

Those muscle-era concept cars were the coolest that the future ever looked. 




I wish musclecar customizers still did stuff like that.  Even their goofiest ideas often seemed more flat-out interesting than a lot of the biggest award winners these days.

You got that right, black and maroon with big wheels and then remove the door handles and any identifying icons (unique instrument clusters or special badging).  It sounds like the plot for a tv show (maybe if we pretend to steal somebodys car but really make it look like this...)

I LOVE THOSE!!
