Looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick.  Maybe the guy who chopped it should ALSO be beat with the same stick.

Are those Challenger taillights he has butchered in there?  If so that is two good looking taillight treaments that were destroyed.

Thats like trying to decide between a butt ugly blond or butt ugly brunette.

I'll take the brunette.  The blonde is probably dyed anyway.

I'd let you pick first cuz i'd take either one...  beauty is only a light switch away!   :2thumbs:   :icon_smile_big:   :icon_smile_big:

the roof ain't the issue...it's still there....the roof has been lowered about 5" from what I see....side glass, vent frame & glass, front windshield & frame have been modified as well

the roof still retains it's original shape

It should be finished off to recreate this

I wonder if that is the car from the TV show?   :shruggy:

They both looked chopped to me, & both have the vent wing window squared off on the top. Someone may have put a grille in & fixed up the headlights to drive it.

Then again, it could be that two nutty people separated at birth built 2 cars the same way.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like it might be the same car. The show car has a hole in the front bumper for the 1966 Bumper Guards. Hard to tell if the sale car has the same thing.

The car in the above picture has a hood scoop where the rear window should be!

ChgrSteve67

It would be a fun car to recreate however it would not be legal to drive on the streets of CA and I'm not into trailering cars around.

I'm 5'4" and I think my stock 69's roof height is "just right," I'd develop claustrophobia in a chopped car like that one.  Nevertheless, if that car was clean and set up properly it wouldn't be so bad IMO.  I mean, the 1st Gen has that whole crazy giant fast back thing going for it anyway-any other body 'mod sorta blends in, again IMO...

Talked to the guy over the phone he said at the price of 21k is a 'STEAL' he said it was appriased at 35k, but wanted to give deals out  ::) ::) :o :o :o :scratchchin: :scratchchin: :scratchchin:

If he gave me fifty bucks, I'd appraise it at $200k.  Appraisals mean exactly squat.

Very true.

And for the record, the one from the show is "less than pretty" too. :Twocents:

It's no beauty queen, but kind of cool in a Mad Max sort of way...
