    At least it looks like it was restored properly. It's a nice departure from the red, black and silver GTs that we normally see. The only bits I don't like are the wheels and lack if A/C, but those aren't beyond changing.

    You could always call it Kermit...

    I've seen much worse than this...like that Grabber Blue 83 convertible...yeesh!

    Not my favorite green (Kawasaki Lime Green), but it appears well done. At least they took the time to do the jambs and the underside of the hatch, hood, etc. Nothing worse than seeing something like this and then you open the door to red jambs!

    Ok........................Thats different. I love the 82 GT but just not feeling this one. Black or Sillver would of been perfect on this car.Richard Rolings would love it. (Fast & loud)

    May look better in real life. I would have blacked out the grill and light cowls.

    To me that will always be a Mopar colour and that's why it looks jarring to the psyche. There was a nice Capri RS on here a few months ago with what looked like a plum crazy purple repaint and it elicited the same reactions. That sublime is subliminally affecting people(groan...) I think if I was going for a repaint I would stay away from a colour that another manufacturer has made theirs. There are a huge number of custom choices these days. Rest of the car looks great.

    well, its certainly.......bright.

    The work looks to be good and the black interior and accents seem to go well with the color.

    I almost wanna say I like it, but something just keeps holding me back from saying I like it.

    Maybe it's just that its so......"unconventional".

    Maybe some more black to offset that wall of sublime. Blacked out grille as Boomer said and black Tu tone lower might help.

    Maybe some more black on the front end. I think them wheels are killing the look..........some chrome wheels would look way better. Just my $.02

    Starting to like it more "as is" the more I look at it.

    It's just too "polarizing" on first look to decide if I like it or not.

    Sure makes you think about it though.

    It's like those "sunburnt orange" painted vehicles. Sometimes I think they're nice looking, sometimes I don't.

    The only problem with those types of colors is when you get tired of them, you really get tired of them....

    This is often the issue with "unconventional" or "loud" color choices, they are great for the original owner that chose the color, but are often either a LOVE IT or HATE IT issue for everyone else.

    If like many people the owner never thought about selling the vehicle, and now here they are.

    I have considered doing a lime green accent on my Black 82 GT, but nothing this dramatic and I still haven't fully committed to the idea yet either. Could look really cool or could look really bad.

    Holy crap that will garner some attention! Not my thing, but certainly looks pretty well done. But let's call it a Resto-Mod, not just a "restoration"
