Is not an attractive car, function over form without a doubt. These cars were not popular when introduced, and were built solely for NASCAR. They sat on the lot, they couldn't give them away back in the day.

I was never a fan of the styling for a street car. But, 1.65? Somebody really wanted that car.
I had read the nose piece was fabricated and painted at another facility away from the plant. It was hit or miss on the fit gaps and the paint was not always a true match to the rest of the body color.

It's really not and I'm a huge muscle car fan. But they're pretty rare so the price goes through the roof. Give me a '71 Plymouth Cuda over this thing any day (based on styling alone).
