Here are a few photos of a 69 convertible done as a TA restomod. Car was done by Frank Serafine of Prodigy Customs in Orlando and is currently at SEMA. Has a Butler Performance all aluminum engine in it.

Me either. In fact, in my opinion (for what it's worth) I see nothing more than a complete waste of a FGF...

I like it.. I like the interior...its not a bad deal for a restomod...but they could have molded in the side air vents while they spent so much time anyway...but I dont care foe the wheels...I`d like to see some "spokes" instead of flakes

Jeeez! Overstated. The interior is too blue.

Did you notice that one appears to be powered? This car was ready for Terry to part out when they pulled it from the Florida weeds earlier this year. Whether you like it or not, they kept another FGF on the road.

It appears that they may have had some clearance issues with the hood and air filter.

no need to argue about the superior quality.
-but the style, is (IMO) too much 'too fast too furious'.
-by the way, the wheels looks like s#"t

I agree on the wheels, too big. I do like the seats, although the color is little too bright for my taste. A very nice job though.

Not for me either. There is little attractive on to me.

Yea, if you'd hammer down on it like you should, it probally come slam out da hood! It looks like a trailer-queen to me... I doubt it has seen the road in many years. Impress me by driving it to the mall or out to eat (NOT A DRIVE THROUGH, either.)
I'd rather see a rust bucket on the road, than a
garage queen anytime!!

I like it. But then I like 2004-2006 GTO's. No plans to make my bird look like it though.
