Retrobuilt '69 - ('13 based)

Retrobuilt have been around for a few years now. This is there latest offering, based on a 2013 GT.

As with their previous cars, in my opinion, they look great up front, but start to look a bit disjointed from the profile and rear ends.

These could be soooooo good, but just miss the mark enough for me to remain slightly disappointed.

I'm sure ill be in the minority here but I think it looks cool. I will say I am the lame wishy washy type that thinks almost every style has a place and I try to appreciate things for what they are. If you judge a copy against the real thing,you will always be disappointed. I believe breast implants may be the only thing that breaks my personal rule.

I have yet to see a natural set of breast implants in my life.

I think some rear windows would fix the 'proportion' problem. That's the only area that sticks out to me. I like it.

The front looks pretty good I think.

A quarter window would break it up but that wouldn't be true to the 69.

Except for the squeeze.

A rear 3/4 window would definately help IMHO

From your "shifting problem" threads it sounds like you are ready for an automatic

Funny guy. Too bad it was my tune and I proved it by changing tunes and the problem was fixed.

Moron.
