These don't work for me. The proportions of the original cars are altered to fit the late model car and it's an awkward compromise, imo. To my eyes they look bloated, fat and heavy.

On top of that you're paying what- 20-30k over the original price of the car? With that money would could have a bunch of speed part and drive a much faster version of the original car. Or a tuner version of it (Shelby, ZL1, Berger, Hennessey, etc) Or, a nicely built original car. I don't see the logic to spend all that $$ on a wannabe classic version.

BTW that excessively angled/ pinched GTO front end reminds me of the Dean Jeffries built Monkees GTO :p

I don't like it, but I also don't hate it. Unfortunately your poll does not offer an appropriate option.

I DO like the Boss 'Stang...and I'm not even a Mustang guy. Proportions, color, stripes, wheels, that one is really nicely done.
Winner.
