No, not "proper".

Carb'd big block shoehorned in and everything else be damned.  

Ugly hood and headlamp covers  

Removal of 3rd gens key design brief:  ie handling.  


Quick, yes.

But then anything with a tricked out big block in it is gonna be quick.


Not my cup of tea.

I assume the headlight covers are an attempt to improve the air flow over the bonnet ?

Sure looks like it has some torque, just look at the body twist

It's the same age as mine.

Looks nasty . . the wing mirrors are awful !

Bet it goes some, though.

It does what it has been built for very well

agreed 100%

the only thirdgen part is the body, and that is just a means of preventing the engine scraping on the ground...

wrong.. sorry..

If you want the absolute defenition of thirdgen perfection, take a ride in Powermites car...

I always thought 3rd gens were supposed to be muscle cars that are meant to be driven, rather than just something that sits there looking shiny.
