 :o The worst thing about it is that the builder most probably is very proud of his work  ;D

Oh my goodness....I've seen some strange looking cars but I think this takes the cake.

Built off of an American muscle car?

The puzzle images are from when the car was offered on ebay.  At that time, it was equipped with new Falken tires, size 275/40 ZR 18", on Eagle alloy rims.

Since then, those rims/tires are gone, replaced by new American Racing TrueSpoke wheels mounted with new Supreme Sigma P235 x R60 x 14" tires.  And they look terrible.  235 by 14?  wow.

Also since the 2012 ebay listing, the car has gained a coolant overflow bottle mounted in the grill...

And judging from the interior shot, the car may have been converted to a two-seater...

Duct tape is underrated as an upholstery material.
