This was posted on the "C Body Mopar Owners" on FB. Not for sale as far as I know.

"66 heavily modified Dodge Polara 500. I seen this turn the corner and said no way a Superbird. As it got closer I said to the driver who just put it in Park. Is that a ford ? Then I noticed the road wheels and he replied it's a Polara 500. He said he did all the work and he values the car at $100,000"

Kind of in the same orientation, check out the Lewis DeSoto website for a 1965 DeSoto Conquest. Looks pretty good AND OEM quality. It, too, turned up yesterday in a C-body FB group.

Yeah, I believe Ill pass on that one! I could have invested that kind of money ona real one!
 
That thing on the back looks like he stole some kids Little Tykes playground equipment and screwed it to the trunk.

By hiding the front and back of the polara tho, it does strike me how much the body lines look like a T-bird of that era.
 
When someone makes a comment like it's "worth $100k", challenge him to put a for sale sign on it.
Yep, putting a "For Sale" (and price) sign on it, then setting up a hidden camera, might make for some interesting "Candid Camera" reactions.
 
He should ask $250,000 for that one of a kind "beauty" if he sells it. The wing in the back looks like it is made out of plywood. "Different strokes for different folks".
 
We've seen this monstrosity before, good old "Honey Bee".

He hacked in lights from some Asian car, can't remember what. He was trying to get General Mills to sponsor it, they wisely said no. The car was very nice before he ruined it. He is still very proud of his masterpiece.
 
Could we PLEASE stop saying "It's your car, do what you want to do with it and to hell with what others think."?
 
To each his own. We all have an idea about where a project is going when we start. I wonder how far off base he wound up at the end. Or did he stand back and yell "Nailed it"?
