What’s with the funky pinstripes?

#3

Seen the car in person last year.

#4

If dark color cars got light pin stripes, what color stipes should it have?

#5

White.

#6

Are the pinstripes, not normal? I don’t know much about pinstripes.

#7

They are probably better done and less irregular than originally. The pin stripes are also thicker than originals. Generally they are in the shape and location of the originals.

#8

Looks like the Hertz G brought 55k - which is a tad disappointing. They estimated it at 80k - 100k.

Needed work but a solid starting point for a very cool XR7-G.

I saw the car at Mecum. The bright lights helped that car a bunch. Cool car, but not very nice in person

#10

As the old saying goes: " Good from far, and far from good ! "

#11

I looked at the XR7-G in November at the lady’s house in New Jersey. I would say it sold for way more than I would give for it.
