Yeah, that's different all right. The Balboa is little seen. If I owned it I'd call it....Rocky!

Great history on this car; I'm surprised it survived.  It has a unique design that took me a while to decide if I liked it......and I do!

What a beauty,  JMHO, I think it'd look sleeker without the buttwart. 😊

Geno I agree. The continental kit is a distraction.

@sizedoesmatter +2  The wart makes the rear look a bit overdone and chunky and doesn't complement the roof design IMHO.
