Green Superbird on ebay RM23U0A164618 Volo Auto Museum.

Priced relatively fair at $119,000 or Offer.

I don't know if its me or my eyes however the nosecone looks out of wack.

I also do not like blacked out or undercoated undercarriages even if they came that way since new.

could the distortion be the result of a wide angle camera lens?

I believe you are correct.   It's in every shot from every angle.     

As to the underside, it looks like Krylon will be in business for a while.     :lol:

I'd tend to think the nose has some issue on the passenger side, possible reconstruction to a damaged/rusted nose?, if you look at just the driver's side, it appears fine the passenger side...not

Yep.. Momma sat on that car and nobody has bothered to fix it in 2 + years.

I see someone taped and painted in the black around the headlight buckets at least...

I placed a "grid" on the photo, and used the horizontal stabilizer, and the hood's body line as centering references, hoping it would show what is tweaked, and in which direction.

the grid looks to show a spoiler bolted on crooked, and a headlight black out decal either cut wrong or applied out of line with the other.

the front suspension appears to be too far right at first glance, but the grid lines fall through the tires at roughly the same point, especially given that the wheels may not be dead on at a 90 degree angle to the camera

i still think the camera lens might also play a role.

I'll bet it looks worse in person. That drooping right side would drive me nuts!

The entire headlight bucket / opening are way off.

Oddly the front spoiler angles UP, when everything else angles DOWN.

Also note the right turn signal.....something is not right there either.
