Really nice! These '70s style cars are always nice to see in both, real life and models. While it's not personally my favorite style, I enjoy seeing them and I've even built a couple myself too. This one has turned out excellent. Good looking paint job and stance. Plus that different wheels on front and rear is a great detail. At least here in Finland back in the day these cars had different wheels on front and rear, because of that simple reason that you had to use what you happened to find.
Nice work!

At least here in Finland back in the day these cars had different wheels on front and rear, because of that simple reason that you had to use what you happened to find. Nice work! Here it was called "what ever was cheapest" when it came to wheels. You were always trading with other gearheads and searching the bone yards for add on parts and back then you could find them there! My first set of N50 Mickey's (and 15X10 Chrome Slots) came off a wrecked car at a local junkyard! On the front had a set of 15X5 chromed stock GM wheels that came out of a neighbors basement!(pitted chrome and all LOL) and a set of blemished bias ply 700 15tires from Sears!(12.50 each!) All the big money went under the hood and the drive train! The fastest cars on the streets weren't the prettiest cars!LOL

I know in my younger days i sold a lot of 225's!LOL Buuuuuick! I had a 62 4 door Special but mine had the BIG 215 aluminum block V8! I loved that little car! Had L60ls on the back and F70's on the front! I think the big tires slowed it down even more!
