Great pictures. I like that 70 Camaro too. Odd I know, but it looks kinda period cool.

Your Charger looks very good as well BTW. I have admired that thing a few times. Very sweet looking piece of kit.

Nope. It just looks like a period.

David, what do we say about opinions and arse holes?

Sorry Sir Clive.

It is just that the "retro 70s" look is usually accidental and usually down to just bad taste.

I am sure the owner in this case went to great lengths in his research to make a good car look as tacky as possible.

For me, I think thats why I like it. My car is tacky, and I want to keep it looking tacky becuase it was built in the era of tacky.

Some of those Baldwin Camaro's had well tacky paintjobs, but they are part of the car's character.

Side pipes, jacked up rear, big n littles tinted windows and a heavily muralled / metal flaked paint job.

Where's me oxford bags.

Tackiest car there is the yellow Ford,the one that was bent on the Chelsea cruise and then repaired. Why did the new owner think those headlights would look good?

Well spank my arse.

I didnt know that was the car!!!!!!! Great to see it back on the road, but I have to agree with you on the front end Steve. The headlights should be on a mini (which is where they look like they came from). It would have been nice to see it put back to the way it was at the time of the accident. I think it looked pretty ace then.

Wasn't that PureYell a Coddington job? At least it has survived,the damage was substantial.
