Maybe it's just me but it looks like they ripped off a 80's 300zx. I also like how they discribe the 305 as being "muscular".

Hey that thing does look like a 300 ZX rip off! I had an 86 300 Z once, and it looks really similar to that thing! Buy it now for JUST 10,500!! Umm yeah..

They failed to disclose the bad ignition switch. If it isn't bad already, it will be soon. Look at how many keys are hanging from it!

well you guys can crack on it all you want. I've got a Black 85 Tojan and I love it. It always gets tons of complements at shows and definetly intrests people. I'd post a pic but I don't have any here at work.

i don't think it looks too bad...

but....

1. its not a 3rd gen firebird anymore
2. the hatch area is too big.... i guess its to give the impression that its a rear engine exotic car
3. the hood looks awkward on the car
4. the rims are too small for that body size

other than that, its not too bad... not worth $10,000 tho
