Very nice model, but '70s style!?

I don't recall seeing any slammed low-riders in the '70s.  Back then the usual customization was to jack up the rear axle and put some big rubber on the rims. I had a '76 Camaro and that's what I did back then (well, in the '80s in my case). Louvers on the back window as also a popular mod.

Great looking paint scheme as always. Few builders actually open the T-Tops on these, but it helps to see the interior detailing done on this.

Cool!  Yes, I had some fun back in those days (and  my share of speeding tickets).  Back then cops were older than me.  Now, I'm the old guy and cops are all "young kids".

I build and installed a computer in mine.  One of its features were Night Rider style scanning lights behind the grille (if you look at the photo in my earlier post, you can barely see 5 lenses behind the grille).  They were configured to scan back and forth like the ones in the Night Rider car (except they were white, not red).
