An STD paint job would be a woman repellent. Imagine a Subaru STI with it :shock:

Clap-tastic!
Trust you, Tony ;) ;)

Get it bought first and then settle on a paint job after the mechanics have been validated.

where we kicking up a fuss then? :) As you say loads of GL's but at least these are different cars

I didn't know the superbird was the real deal I thought petty's actual race cars where not for sale at any price and museum pieces now?

Dont Fret Carl,i love the 72 of course ;) and if i could raise the cash i would gladly try and buy her back in future from you.Simon would also i bet.

It would be impossible almost to have the Real Race car.would they even sell one? and if you did aquire it.then you could not drive it on the street!....you are going to have FUN when you get this(an understatement) a lot more people like the car than not,never had any negative comments from people when i took her out for a drive and to meets.

You should see peoples reaction when you fly past them on the motorway in it,they do a double take thats for sure...if ever a car was a headturner this is one.

If it were me Carl then i'd deffo change the paint to the STP paint Job.

Thats just my personal opinion. This is based on the fact that many recognize the car from Tony,s/Simon's tenure. Change the paintjob and it'd be Carls so to speak.

As always just a case of time and ££.
