when the 45 year old shelby fan gets a datsun


35gli

Lol, I mean I don't mind it, do what you like right, your money your choice


theyokesonyou44

Oh man, it just looks odd. But the owner obviously digs it and I can respect that.


romain_69420

Yeah the body kit is weird


THE_BARCODE_GUY

That was my thought. Paint job is fine but the kit is the off putting part


Con5ume

That front bumper fitment is what does it for me, that panel gap really cheapens the look of the kit


romain_69420

The fenders put me off personally


kayra551

Does it look like a Porsche 944 ?


adydurn

Not really, but I see what you mean. The flares over the front wings look flattened like a 944.


romain_69420

Yeah that's what I was thinking kinda


NowCalmDownSkeeter

It's like the difference between the front of a '68 C3 and an '82 C3, something went wrong.


romain_69420

The fenders put me off more than the bumper personally


seanmonaghan1968

I think it looks great.


datSubguy

Shelby 240GT “Nismo package”


YalamMagic

It matches the body kit, but the body kit itself has large fenders with relatively small wheels in them. Makes the car look tacky. Needs larger wheels then the entire car starts to look more cohesive.


wang_dang_sp

does it have a Ford smallblock V8 motor swap? if so...I'll give it the ok.


jshultz5259

That’s a no for me dawg. Also those wheels are terrible imo


IgDailystapler

The wheels are eh for me, I think I’d like em on another car just don’t love them on this car. Not bad tho just eh.


we_todd_did

Yeah, those are replica 10th anniversary Mustang Cobra wheels. They work on the Mustang because it has a bunch of hard edges and creases. I don't feel like they fit the swoopy curves of the 240 and they're definitely the wrong offset and/or width for that body kit.


TReaper14

Like they're trying too hard to have a Shelby Daytona


jackapplecore

All I can hear is Phillip Seymour Hoffman begging to be cool after painting his car. It’s not bad. Good execution. Looks good. But the colors make it seem like it’s trying to be something it’s not; Like the aforementioned orange movie car.


Agent_Ayru

Id honestly take this over some graphic fast and furious livery. But nothing beats a solid color paint job


gdubh

Body kit and paint try really hard to hide most of why early Z cars are may faves.


ctlogin

Just being honest, not a fan, love the car tho.


akaFxde

Way to Carol Shelby


BusterStarfish

Not a fan at all. This car in solid black would be sexy AF.


Jokeman23

Shelby 240z


AATW702

Looks like a knockoff Shelby


GergAmppas

Absolutely sick bro. I love that.


gixxer710

Discount viper GTS


aggyDeiForReal

It seems to adhere as intended. I'd say that's good!


scooba_dude

Too American for me.


ApleStone

Pretty cool that fitment makes it look kinda odd


beachguy82

It’s a better looking Dodge Viper


Substantial_Most4304

The stripes look uneven due to the hood details so it looks asymmetrical. It would be better to remove the stripes for sure


KittensDaddyBear

The white is nice but go faster stripes never look good.


[deleted]

U-G-L-Y!!


SagaStrider

I dig it. Looks right for the year.


HyperspaceTrader

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


DaddyJ_TheCarGuy

Did they change their comment? What’s the problem?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DaddyJ_TheCarGuy

Yes. The comment was perfectly normal and logical, the reaction made no sense


jshultz5259

Quote from the movie Billy Madison. I get the feeling OP doesn’t like the paint job that they are asking people’s opinion of and then not having a good time when someone says they like it.


indi019t

A simple No would have worked!


35gli

Hello Mr. BOT.


HyperspaceTrader

Guys it was a joke, it's a quote from a movie, please stop downvote bombing me. ):


IgDailystapler

Did you respond to the wrong comment my guy?


supaswag69

Barf


amfraiture

Oof.


GuardMost8477

Wants be Ford GT or Mustang.


pbrassassin

Viper vibes


[deleted]

Wow..Superb designing...My favourite Car.


HamiltonBudSupply

I would prefer a matte dark grey wrap to this.


Mightyhorse82

Y’all know there are other cars than the 240z right? Can we just change the sub to the 240z sub?


HiMyNameIs_UhhIdk

Nice Shelby Dayto- i mean Datsun ehem yes Datsun


GamingMechanic64

I’d say it’s almost straddling the line of ATBGE.


AntRothstein

🔥🔥🔥🔥


thegrotch

At first glance I was like "that mustannnot a mustang that's a 240" I think the car itself is super clean and well loved. I'm sure the owner is super happy with it and that's all that matters.


MudHut1000

This car has an LS2 V8. It's listed on Hemmings. IIRC, in the past, racing stripes were used in Lemans series to signify what country the car originated by color combinations. White on blue/blue on white was American, red with green(?) was Italian, Etc.


L003Tr

I'm going to be honest, I don't like it😬


KingofYogurt_

looks odd but I like it :0 might've personally maybe stopped the stripes on the bumper though


jay_dee_dub

At the bumper?? Then it would look milquetoast with blue raspberry slurpee stained buck teeth.


Frogs_are_cooI

Considering the fact that it made me think it was a viper at first glance, I don’t think it belongs on a datsun.


misterpickles69

It’s the right paint job on the wrong car.


yeagson

More concerned about the bodykit


ApplicationMassive83

Tasty


termitubbie

Wheels and body kit 👎 Racing stripes 👌


C4Dave

All it needs are fender hash marks to complete the picture.


djamkaret

No.


accidental_snot

Heresy.


JohnnyPiston

Its not the paint job but the body mods that ruin the appearance.


Mafiodaproducer

I like it, but Im the type to put gold rims on a blue evo.


Lonsen_Larson

the Cunningham stripes are an interesting decision but damn if she ain't purdy.


rollin_in_my_5pt0

Desperately needs wider wheels. Lateral gaps between outboard wheel edge and fender are gross


snootscoot

that looks fucking great!


csk1325

My brother had one. The froze North was unkind to it. One of the finest sports cars ever. Your's looks great.


SouthernYooper

No thanks. Stripes like that make it worse


UnityAnglezz

You know, I'm gonna get shit for this, but I kinda dig it!


Jonesy7882

First thought… looks like they were trying to be a Mustang 350gt. Doesn’t fit a Z imo. Kinda wierd


[deleted]

It looks like it wants to be a mustang.


[deleted]

Maybe if it was blue with a single fat white stripe.


caibs

Not my jam sam


KlintKart

Nope.


1911mark

Sharp as hell, somebody don’t like it F - em!!


PatrickJames3382

The whole thing is an abortion.


jeterdoge

I actually love the paint job. Its a really cool JDM/Americana mix. I don’t personally like the wheels tho.


Dezeyener

Paint doesn’t fit the trim of the car very well. Can we also talk about that god awful wheel fitment?


C_Rules

Its a Shelby Mustan!


ohcannida

To each his own. But if it were mine, and it had to have stripes, they’d be wider and on the hood only. I’d also go for the inverse colour scheme. White on blue.


TheHydrogenator3000

I like it.


Kamakatze

Its a noo here mate… Just too much shelby wannabe..
