Great looking car! Wish I had the extra coin for the 18" boyds when I bought my TTII's. Just curious, how is driving a left hand drive on the left side of the road? Always wondered haha.

Nice! Is it a mandatory safety thing to have those sidemarkers on your front fenders there? They look really out of place on an American car.

Thanks a lot guys for your time taking a look at my car, driving a left hand drive here in the uk is no problem for me as i used to live in the states for a while and am used to driving a left hand drive vehicle. Those are not side markers they are indicators (blinkers) which we have to have here in the uk. the boyd coddington's really do finish the look of the car and money well spent as everyone comments on them here because not many boyd's wheels are over here.

Thankyou very much, i was told that these cars are now starting to fetch some good money since gm stopped making them and have had a fair few offers for mine when i go to car shows here in the uk, iv'e had this car from new and it will be with me for the rest of my life, such a great car to drive and to look at, it also won at americana which is one of the biggest american car shows in the uk winning best transam two years on the trott in 2005 and again in 2006, and was told that winning at americana is something special as they inspect every part of the vehicle inside and out even underneath, also they check to make sure everything works such as electric windows if fitted and anything else electrical, thankyou again for looking

Beautiful car, but it kills me to know you have the world's ugliest tail lights.

:edit: didn't see the second set of pics. how do you get away without using the export lights?

the honeycombes are for shows only. I use lt1 tail lights for road use as they have amber indicators which are required by law here in the uk.

side turn signals dont really look that bad. i think they kinda blend it with the other side marker. congrats on the mag coverage. cool they have a whole mag for just american cars.
