WATIDIZ (as you can read at the plate)
The article where I've found says:
Sausage / Friday Quiz: What is that thing?
"Today I am having a bit of competition to the good old Lionel Lucas and his inevitable " Quiz Friday "with a sausage that is not easily identifiable at first glance.
Personally impossible to identify with certainty the vehicle hiding beneath this orgy of fiber rather surprising. Besides the original features have become completely invisible, unless lenses are the forwards that the most reliable clues to find the solution to the riddle.
The rest is a mixture of baroque inspiration mixed with hot rod and other things not easily definable, even if the work is beautifully done.
There still a relatively backward in its evocative curves .."

I think the exhaust in the side is painted.  It seems to me that the door couldn´t open with those.

Built by Bill Logan from Simi Valley, California.

After watching a couple of video clips, I sense the trunk lid is meant to emulate a fat woman's butt. Believe it or not, it was once a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro

The interior is congruent with the exterior.

Oophs sorry, missed this one!  I'm keeping this locked for you until your next reply as you have some of the information, but not the correct name of the car as yet, which is now in production!!

Dream Ryder was the name I was looking for, so the much-deserved point is now yours  ;)

The Devil drum on the darkened pane: “You did it, but was it Art?” 

Currently for sale. Asking price: $250,000 obo  :o

Seller’s Description:

This automobile is built as Functional Art on a stock 1984 Camaro convertible and is called "DreamRyder". All the body panels fit over the Camaro body and can be removed if needed. It is a driver, and runs very well. It is very popular at shows, draws incredible attention and has won many trophies. It is really a work of art and should be in a museum. I have built a complete set of molds and tooling capable of reproducing this body. I will sell the car and molds together or separately. There is a video on YouTube and you can search for it by entering: logandreamryder.

Here are some 'better' pics.

Swap that comma for a decimal point and you would be closer to the correct price ($250) in my opinion
