It's a shame they put that huge PHASE III on the back quarter.

I agree. But, if you have the money to buy that car, you should be able to get it removed no problem.

Its prolly a vinyl decal that should come off without too much trouble. Definetly wouldnt make or break my decision to buy it, ill blame that on the price tag.

No matter how lame it may look, having that is what is going make it worth more in the future (if indeed the future warrants more for that car). Look at the Yenko's on the Barrett-Jackson auction, some have some rather ugly graphics, but "original" is what brings the big bucks!!!!

I realize that the car is (somewhat) a collector's item and that removing that decal would devalue it. I'm merely saying that I believe that it was a bad decision on GMMG's part to include that decal on the car from the factory. It ruins the appearance of the car in my opinion.

There is a HUGE difference between this car and the copos of the 60s the biggest being GM built the YCOPOS, they actually rolled off an assembly line with the huge motors not converted at a dealership. These cars are nothing more then a saleen or roush the people buying these cars as investments that hope to make money would be better off sticking the $$$ in the bank. Heck saleens are nothing more then used cars now. You buy cars to drive not as an investment.
