Yea, but it looks great sitting next to that black pickup truck with the rear wing and that old class C RV.

Looking at the amount of space that allows you to crawl through the openning...I don't think I'd fit. Looks cool though.

The guy seems to have some idea of the value of his modifications with a sale price of $10k.

Hey look! He can park it unreal tight spaces and not hit the doors of the cars next to him!! (now if they would stop hitting his car...)

The worse part about this is: have you ever had hood/deck shocks fail and it cracks you right in the head?
Can you imagine how it gonna feel when this damn thing falls as you're trying to squeeze in to the little opening, and cracks you square in the skull?????? Sheesh!

those doors are so played out. They should call them "Lame-bo".

Blast away, but swap a couple of doors and change to a ducktail, and you've got a cheap, fun car......

If it was close to me, I'd check it out.

I have seen a 993 with proper Lambo doors installed , where they go straight up and not up like this one, It actually looked really good, the 993 was a cab also so that might have added to it,

Oh, I agree the car's got potential, but it's like big honkin' kuh Rome wheels it just for looks. To each his own I guess

Scissor doors

Yikes. Yes, that's exactly what any '73 needs. Unless your garage ceiling is 10 feet high you can't get out of the car.

I was only taking a cheap shot at the doors. You're right though, it's a '73 and it supposedly has some goodies. I guess $10K would be alright if the rest of the car wasn't severely butchered.

I just noticed the "chrome girl" decoration on the inside of the driver's door. Nice.
