TarheelRick Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Needs to give me that car and have the current owner hung by the thumbs. Don't know if a stint in the freezer would pop all that 'customization' loose. My only comment is "Why?". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Ranchero Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I was aware of the chrome mobile existence; this past year looking at cars for sale you sometimes come across rental cars for weddings and what not and there was a 1964 Galaxie four door with the full AMT custom pieces treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymcminn Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 A couple of enjoyable hours with a heat gun and a wrench would make a world of difference to that car. I'm mostly concerned about the rear fender skirts without 100% knowing how they're attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Something seriously wrong with the fit of the front sheetmetal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Not to mention the paint mismatch on the front clip. The rusty split exhaust tips are the icing on the cake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I call "deep fake" / "cheap fake" ! Hahaha ! The hood emblem looks like it's one of those fugly A.I. generated things that've been making the rounds here. I wonder if the seller will trade for tattoo work or reptile cages ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever hear of an increasingly obscure concept called "taste"? Then there's the horrible fit of the wonky front sheetmetal and the paint mismatch...but hey, it's covered in garish stick-on stuff, so don't pay attention to the incompetent workmanship. And "stands out from the rest" isn't always...well, let's just say "an aesthetic improvement".

How 'bout the wobbling kitty heads / demon skulls / whatever with the eyes that lit up when you stepped on the brakes? Pure class. Yeah, all the chicks sure went for that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 A few of the bucks spent on all of the add-ons might have been better spent on a set of rear springs. Right now it's got long rear shackles and those clamp-on helper springs, and it ain't much higher than stock in back. Besides the paint mismatch, I'd be taking a long look at how those skirts are attached. I'm seeing what look like exposed fasteners, and that ain't good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 FeePay has been supplying "help" for ad copy-writing recently. Whether it's "AI enhanced", or just a magically stupid fill-in-the-blanks generic template I don't know, but a large number of feePay items have very similar descriptions now...whether they be cars, clothing, tools, models, parts, whatever. Can you say P A T H E T I C boys and girls? "Introducing this fourth-generation 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 that is finished in Vintage Burgundy with a Wimbledon White roof. This vintage automobile is a true testament to the golden era of American automobiles. With its sleek and timeless design, this American classic is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. Equipped with a manual transmission, V8 engine, 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust outlets, "Ford" lettering across the hood, hood pins, rear fender skirts, chrome bumpers, bench seats, manual-crank windows, vent windows, dual-side rearview mirrors, Kenwood radio, and "Fairlane 500" fender badges. The warranty number reveals that this example rolled off the assembly line in San Jose California, further enhancing its historical significance. Additionally, the previous owner has added unique decorations such as decals and other designs, giving this American classic a touch of personal flair and individuality. Do not miss the opportunity to own this unique Fairlane 500 that is well-priced as well as mechanically sound. For $10,750" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
