Default A blast from the past

Idk what to think. A friend shared this on FB and thought I'd pass it on and see what ya'll thought.

It looks like a clean conversion but there's no way i'd ever do it.

It's not a new conversion...there are a few of those (one in my neighborhood which is saweet!). Overall I like it. Clash the old styling with the new technology. Cool stuff.

it started out great as most said, and then the retarded lights in the back. I would have kept the stock s197 lights in there.

Its creative thats for sure!

It's called backdating. Porsche 911 guys do it a lot...since the pre 1974 Porsches had much better lines.

I almost have to wonder if that's the same one that was sold on ebay a last month. I mean it is in Texas.

It's all a taste thing, but I think it would have been better looking if he's "backdated" the tail lights and rear end...
