Amen to that brother
WHY at least this guy can have some fun with his car rather than polishing it, or sat in a deckchair in some field talking rivets
Sorry Dunc, that wasnt a race car vs resto car comment, just that I 'dont get' creating a wing-car copy from a non wing-car b-body. They never look right for some reason - maybe cos they always want to introduce some custom touches that, to my eye, make them look even more odd than the originals
I'd much prefer a 70 RR or GTX than a 'bird clone - whether for racing or rivet counting...
As for making Wing cars from non wing cars...if you ever really wanted one and realised that they are now way outta your reach financially....then why not,
If they had done a cheap version at the factory, they may have done this to...IMO its fine and for mostl its virtually the same car
And that Sox Wing car looks fine especially with the cowl scoop its something the factory should have done, compliments the nose just right
You'd ask why alter the wheelbase on a 65 Hemi car ....or build a clone
ALL KILLER NO FILLER
Nostalgia, its not what it used to be.
we all have opinions, i like stockers and customs/modifieds if thats the word, if i had to really choose though it would not be a factory stock type car,
I just do not get it! I see nothing I like when I look at a wing car? Must be me, as you all seem to drool over them! Give me an early B body any time.
The thing about Wing cars is what they achieved on the track, not what Chrysler did to homogenate them by producing road replicas......On the road they are a "B" body with 300lbs more weight; but the aerodynamics DO work and they have that "wow" factor of a comic book car (like modern day supercars).
