What is going on here?  As in, where did they graft stuff and where did they chop?  It's like they took the rear doors out, and put that length in between the front wheels and windshield.  I think?  I really don't know.  There's like 2 feet of hood in front of the end of the hood.  

Incredibly rare, yes.  Very desired, ehh, not so much.

It needs a twin turbo LS and a lot lower price. 

Being rare doesn't always impart value.

My dad was 100% Italian and grew up in the south side of Chicago - born 1935.  He loved this stuff.  Big whitewalls, padded tops, continental kits, wire wheels.....I am not a fan.

Think of the weight bias, though. 

 

This thing must be an incredibly balanced mid engined rocketship on the track.

I want to combine this era of terrible American styling with Bosozoku sillyness in the worst way.  With enough horsepower to ensure nobody gets a good look at it.

I’m thinking it would make an epically hilarious CAM car.
