So weird.  Needs about 8" trimmed from the nose for it to look right.

I'd like to meet the guy that did that. 

"Drives great". With a 60" wheelbase and a 36" front and rear overhang?

Reminds me of the "Missing Linc" from Roadkill:

I would say the amount of times whoever was driving it must have hit their head trying to get into the drivers seat would explain lot, but they must have had some other reason to build it in the first place lol.

He has "finished" his more, but the Funderbird has MUCH better lines.

Thanks! I agree. I just want to compare notes and methods. My car was a case of scope creep and Dad saying "hey, what if we..." But I'm betting this guy had a clearer vision right from the start.

Front is crash? 
Doesn't look like 2 fents or any crubs were harmed though.

He might have followed a vision, but that kinda sprit quest prolly ain't healthy! But it does kinda explain his asking price...

I was really hoping this thread was about a Fox Body Mercury Marquis.

Used rear doors for worst possible ingress.  Looking at the others that correctly used the front door, one has to ask why?  Just to be different?

I'm thinking cut the roof off and make it a speedster, then add more low and lots of rubber. Also boom tubes.
