Hate to say it, but it kindof reminds me of a Stude.

That's the aero version of the Mercury Comet Talladega.

Just why in the name of all that is good is something like that allowed to be created? Uggh!

DeadSkunk....that was going to be my "guess", too.

All that work put into combining the "nose" of one of the ugliest Fords built to date, and the back half of one of the ugliest Mercurys ever produced.

The lighting really sucks, but the craftsmanship looks pretty decent. It's not just pop riveted together. That looks like it would be a fun LeMons car. I'd love to drive up to an auto parts store and try to get parts for it. You could really have some fun with the counter help. I've seen way uglier cars. Painted all one color, it might not look so bad.

I wonder if the transmision slips and the head gaskets blow?

The Daytona and Superbird can be forgiven because the nose cone and giant wing were actually functional. That... thing... in the OP has no excuse.

/I want two Superbirds: One as a collectors' car, and one to resto-mod!

Wow. This is breathtaking in its profound wrongness. Please tell us you photoshopped it.

While it's ugly and mismatched, I've seen far uglier and more profoundly mismatched.

Man, someone did a LOT of work, and looks like they did a pretty good job of it (I couldn't do it, that's for sure). But, man. I gotta think it looked a lot better in their head than it did in the flesh. Biggest issue is the way it kind of drops down dramatically in the front. Weird.
