You tell me what you think it is. I believe the doors were carefully crafted with a sledgehammer.

I'm thinking too many Nattys were involved in the construction. One of a kind rare?

The hood and rear quarter look "Challenger" to me.

Ugly as it may be, if was was constructed by anyone with legitimate affiliation to Chrysler, its worth a few pesos.

The rear and hood match a 70 Challenger except for the center scoop on the hood. Looks like someone dropped it there and said, "STAY!"

There is a negative ten-thousand percent chance that this vehicle has any legitimate affiliation to anyone. This was a booze fueled afternoon of cutting and bondo.

I hope this was done 30 years ago, before it was anything worthwhile

The center hood scoop appears to be for a Torino, and the bumps on the deck almost looks like a 62 Thunderbird Sports Roadster. The doors seem to be "inspired" by a Riviera.

Those black side mirrors make me think you're right. All the rage in the 80s....

There is a LOT of metal fab involved with that nose. Those are Roadrunner headlight buckets! But Roadrunner headlight buckets were not SHAPED like that! The mind boggles at the thought of doing a lot of customizing on pot metal.

For reference, here's an E-body 'Cuda nose:

Picturing them side by side it becomes apparent that a LOT of metal work was done.

I don't hate it, though the top of the windshield makes me think that it started life as a coupe and the whole thing would probably fold in half in the first ten miles.

except for the weird dip in the doors and the fairings behind the seats.. I like it. Fix those and it could be a winner.

The coverings over the headlights.. that the same plastic that Chrysler used over the 80's Dodge Diplomat? Could give another clue to the age of it's modifications

What's wrong with the doors? With all the complaints around here about not being able to put your elbow up on the door of high belt line cars due to safety regulations, I've never seen anybody actually offer an idea to remedy the situation while keeping safety intact. Rather than constantly whine about it, the surprisingly talented drunkards that built this car simply got off their butts and came up with a solution...Thus the door design on that car is not only ahead of it's time, it's ahead of OUR time too!
