Weird "body kit"

Mods, feel free to move as appropriate if needed.

For those not on Facebook, for sale in Florida - what the meth?
2007 Chevy HHR looking like a 1960's Buick. Mechanically sound and runs beautifully, just need a different everyday car. New BT stereo system, subwoofer, backup camera, break system, alternator, AC system,Air bag adjustable rear suspension (manual), paint job, custom white wheels. Definitely a funky car and a one-of-a-kind. Perfect for cruising along or promoting business. New hubcaps will be placed on prior to purchase as well as any additional exterior cosmetic parts. All 4 doors work, but only driver has exterior handle. Will take price offered or best trade (preferably a manual) DM for any additional questions.

Yes that’s it, no that’s not a body kit, all custom made and finally finished

Kudos to the builder. Work of art and a head-turner, whatever you think of it. I happen to love it.

Custom cars is tough community. Harsh criticism of highly skilled work, sometimes by people who couldn’t change a tire and had someone else install their bolt-ons.

Either sold once or moved; he used to be in NY.

I seem to recall it was a lot of trial and error on the body work. No offense to the original builder but I remember him saying some body parts were made from spray foam.
Zoom in on those recent pictures. Doesn’t look like it’s stood the test of time.

That is a unique "show" car. I don't believe many lookers would be able to identify the "donor" chassis at first glance and few would after close study.
(exception the members on this forum?)
Definitely accomplished the classic Buick look and the color combo fits the style and time period. Good work as a labor of love.
Like most customs it's cool and unique.
I vision it on a touring road trip next summer. Where you ask? Getting your fix on Route 66

Or Rt. 6. Or Rt. 20. Any nearby historic U.S. route. Quite a few have some pretty interesting relics if you look for them.

This motel on Rt 6 in Sandusky, Ohio keeps a Rambler parked out front.

Nice looks close to the '69 model year two door coupe Rambler I had. Bought it for $100 The state of the art cassette deck and audio system cost me $125
Or I thought maybe geg would import it into Russia. At least I know his wheels are turning thinking if he can finish his body work with some style!
