Explains why the portion of the ad that traces the history identifies a sale to a previous owner from the DAs office.

I haven't read all the blurb in that ad.  I'll assume it reflects sincere pride in this -- let's call it unique -- '81 308.

As an "outlaw" or hot rod, it's an interesting looking machine, I have to say, not too shabby as a DIY effort.

If I put on my dreamer's cap for a minute, imagine this car has been constructed to the same chassis dimensions and stiffness, the same suspension geometry and the same weight distribution as the GTO it -- let's say it "resembles."  Setting aside all the prudent concerns of safety (not wanting that engine to implode a few inches from my brain and my balls) or reliability (not wanting it to crack open at a suspension pick-up point while over 130 mph on a track somewhere) and dream a little about just driving it (and not necessarily letting anyone see you driving it ... : )  I think it could be a helluva rocket ride.  Might even give a brief glimpse into the experience of the 288.  Anything's possible.

Without making an issue of where this car is being advertised, what do you guys think:

Looks cool, performs well I'm sure, sure it sounds pretty nice.........just an issue of "kosherness". The interior is "interesting"...

Obviously this isn't a Fiero 308, so a discussion I think is legit.

That rear shot is Violence with a capital V!!
