Will you take a post dated check.... dated somewhere around jan 01, 4008? That car looks amazing. Not quite my style, but I could get used to it.
The Ramrods already have one of your checks...if'n it bounces, we gonna call the Guido Brothers to pay you a visit...
I feel just the opposite. Although he tends to do the same stuff to most of his cars (chop, flared rockers, subtle scallops), I think they almost always turn out beautifully. This car, in my opinion, was one of Chrysler's ugly ducklings in stock form, but Zocchi improved it m***ively.
If you want to be purely technical, Mopar only built the pieces of this car, this model never existed. It's a 61 Dodge with 61-62 Chrysler front clip. 61 Dodge's had a funny lookin front end, very plain. I like it, interior fabric's a lil wierd, but to each his own.
I even liked the interior fabric. I probably would have chosen something simpler, myself, but it had a real 60's feel to it. Which I thought was right for the car. As far as Zocchi customs go, I like about 50% of them. This one really got me excited, though.
Hi Like every Zocchi Ive seen. When I think of the new **** you could buy for 45k..... one of these cars is a deal.
'61 Dodge looks like a b***et hound from the front. The 62 Dodge 880 uses the same nose. He did a '59 Plymouth, too - seems like the forward look board had quite a discussion of these two cars at the same time when they turned up for sale on eBay a while back. I hate the '59 Plymouth's front end treatment. It uses what looks like '72 Olds fullsize headlights and a '57 Buick grille in a way that backdates the look of it instead of trying to make it look newer. It seems like by the early 60's if you were customizing not just for the sake of change, you were tying to make a car look more modern - tying the headlights into the grille was one way to do that. This car does just the opposite.
OK I take back the "every car I've seen" quote because, I dont really like that lavender and white easter egg
i've never seen the motor of a zocchi car. from what i heard, he doesn't spend much time under the hood on these cars. any truth to it? the exteriors and interiors are works of art.
The engines almost always look like ****. The three or four I have seen are just pressure washed and not even repainted. This engine specifically has never been rebuilt or done up either. What I want to know is why this car has AMC brakes. Amc brakes have always had a bad reputation for leaking. Hyfire
Now now Gracie, the body I can appreciate....ESPECIALLY for a Mopar. But look at the upside to the flower interior.....your own garden without the weeding and watering h***le.
