This is one of the most influential Overhaulin' Cars. |

I'm sorry Blingy but I'm gonna refuse that thought. The Dodge looked better than when it was tricked out. |

I also agree that the car was much better looking before-hand. There honestly should be a show on TV that restores the owner's cars back to it's original, factory-fresh state. |

I agree with you completely. Why is there no show like that? The vision of muscle cars is supposed to bring back the whole greaser/no seat belts/badass look. A late 60s or early 70s Mustang, for example, that is restored or almost there has such a powerful presence. Shiny rims, body kits, or whatever just make it look tacky, unexperienced, and flashy. The Challenger, before the changes, has such a rugged and adventurous look. That is why I generally like older cars better because of similar reasons. I may be going on a tangent but I just can't stand how bland many newer models are. I find myself just laughing at almost every new vehicle such as Honda Elements, FJ-Cruisers, Nissan Armadas, Uplanders, Xterras, the list goes on and on...Vehicles really are a love/hate relationship for me. So many cars today just look like happy meal toys like the FJ-Cruiser and Element. Why would you not want to be taken seriously? Driving the Challenger in the second picture, which costs $$$$$ to fix up, makes the driver look like a joke. Why is this so difficult for some people to understand? |

Most cars on the road today do look bland and boring. The flood of weird, visually awkward vehicles like the Honda Element though, is just a modern take on a practise that has been around since even before the 60's. During the 50's and 60's, there were alot of visual elements taken from jets, rockets, etc., and there were quite a few vehicles that were based no a futuristic theme. There were tons of henous concept vehicles through the 50's-70's that I'm sure gave the general public a brief fit of horror when they first saw them. Designers were trying hard to create a bold concept that was counter or quite a bit off from the usual designs of the time, and most of them bombed. The same goes for today, except it seems a large amount of these strange, horrific little specters are materialising and leaking into reality. I guess people like to see bold moves now a days as ever, and with such blandly styled cars all around, people like to choose the odd-ball for something different. Maybe it's part of the same reason people like Napoleon Dynamite or Japanese rap, it's annoying as hell but it's so quirky our curiosity betrays us and we end up falling for it. |

Its mainly the rims that out me off, otherwise, I think the exterior looks cool. |

I’m with the NO’s on this one. Don’t mess with a classic. Restore it repair it but the paintjob and the rims destroy one of the most iconic American cars of all time. |

I think the best job they've done with the hot dog salesman's VW Bus. |

Well I would agree, taking a 70 or even a 71, should go back the way it came. The interesting thing is an exact version of this was sold at auction for $330,000 which is quite more then it would have brought otherwise. I have a 72 which was done on Overhaulin by Foose for me and I love the car. It was a regular 72 with a 318, now it is a masterpiece. |
