#14868 of 17968 Re: I saw the Buick version [bumpy] by andre1969 Nov 17, 2008 (8:24 am)
Replying to: bumpy (Nov 17, 2008 8:14 am) Did that Buick look like this style?   I think that style with the big triangular rear windows looks really good, especially without a vinyl roof. The Catalina/Bonneville and LeSabre all shared that same coupe roof, although it was common for the Bonneville to be optioned with an opera window/landau roof setup that was pretty awkward. It was also offered on the Catalina, but didn't seem nearly as common. Replies to this message: uplanderguy (Nov 17, 2008 2:31 pm) bumpy (Nov 19, 2008 9:41 am)

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 17, 2008 8:24 am) Andre, you were wondering a couple weeks back if other GM B-bodies of the late '70's/early '80's could be had with bucket seats, besides the Bonneville. The Olds Delta 88 "Holiday" model had buckets and console, and I believe the LeSabre T-Types did, also. But the Bonneville was the nicest package of all, with buckets and console, in my opinion. Like the Grand Prix models of more than a decade earlier! I wish the Caprice Classic of the late '70's offered buckets and console.   Bill

An odd way to use time and money:   Chrysler LeBaron SL AMG Replies to this message: fintail (Nov 18, 2008 6:42 pm) boomchek (Nov 18, 2008 7:57 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2008 8:10 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: dinorino (Nov 18, 2008 6:29 pm) Ha! Wow, what a great use of time and resources indeed.   A genuine early 90s R129 in pristine condition is worth in the low teens...funny car to copy. Of course, it was probably done 15 years ago...but still.   I like how the ad copy reads "AMC conversion"...that's more accurate. That thing wearing an AMG badge should be a criminal offense.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 18, 2008 6:42 pm) Ouch, funny looking conversion.   I agree about the AMG badge...who are they trying to fool?   It's funny how the front fenders bulge, it look like an SL that gained extra weight from overeating.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 18, 2008 7:57 pm) What a bizarre idea....trading one problem for another.   How did they do that? Is this a body kit you buy or something? From 100 yards away, it looks credible. Replies to this message: boomchek (Nov 19, 2008 10:09 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2008 11:13 am) explorerx4 (Nov 19, 2008 4:06 pm)
#14874 of 17968 Re: '84 Accord hatchback in white. [fintail] by bumpy Nov 19, 2008 (9:32 am)
Replying to: fintail (Nov 14, 2008 3:41 pm) The hatchback was replaced (in the US anyway) by the coupe as part of the '88 refresh.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 17, 2008 8:24 am) Did that Buick look like this style?   Yeah, but I want to say that the grille mesh was vertical?
#14876 of 17968 Re: A hybrid vehicle of sorts... [Mr_Shiftright] by boomchek Nov 19, 2008 (10:09 am)
Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2008 8:10 am) I think it was somebody with lots of skill, and ambition, and a wrecked/flooded SL they had for parts that they could only use body panels from.   I figure it takes a lot of work to adapt SL panels to a Lebaron of all things.   This should have been a sequel to the TC by Maserati.   It should be called "SL by Chrysler and Bob's Autobody" Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2008 11:13 am) explorerx4 (Nov 19, 2008 4:06 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 19, 2008 10:09 am) In a perverse, sick, nauseating way I am actually impressed with this car, in the same way that I might be had Dr. Frankenstein introduced me to "something I have in my laboratory". Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Nov 19, 2008 4:06 pm)
