Here is a new one on eBay.  I tought the stripes were very nice.  It gives the GTS a particular look.

Blue on green... umm ya! not so much!
 
Stripes are different. Undecided.
I like the creativity they put in to it though!

I would have done that exhaust differently.

I would have not dropped the stripe to the bottom. I would of put in down the side of the car, like a laser stripe.
Something different, to each their own.

Those really don't work well with the body in my opinion.  Looks like a fairly solid car though.  If the interior color was changed that car could be tastefully modded pretty easily.

Indeed... a look that says, "I really wanted a Mopar, but all I could find was this Torino... it's got a Hemi, really!"
 
It's a very ghetto-rod touch that does not suit the smooth, round lines of the car, IMO. It must have taken a lot to mask, though!

Those stripes belong on a Super Bee not a Torino! As for the exhaust  well that's another story!

I saw this car for sale about a month ago...On craigslists I think.
Those stripes are a little Cheesy as is the color matching of the interior/exterior.
