I hope Bulls Eye is happy with his purchase, and I wish him luck. I just did a web search for his new ride under "images" and all I can say is that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion.
This is a case of style vs. straight line acceleration.
We all have our own needs and motovations.
Sadly both for Bulls Eye and Daimler-Chrysler, this car was poorly marketed.
It is not a go fast car, but more of a piece of rolling sculpture, an interesting, creative and fun work of art, a design that is reminicent of other previous designs that were less popular than all those corvettes.
I love washing this car, it's curves and lines are dramatic, exciting and different, similar to another car I own and adore.
If you have a minute, why not check out another interesting design from 1963 that has stood the test of time, and yes, you can still buy a brand new one today.
