Intriguing C3 Custom...
Can't post a pic from work (blocked), but maybe somebody can put up the two pics shown. Looks like a 1968 Custom C3, with some pretty wild body mods among a host of other cars for sale, here in SoCal...

Cool find....looks like a mix of parts though, the rear is that hatch vette Ecklers sold with the Monza rear glass but the flares on this car are larger than Ecklers L-88's which were made on the fenders while these flares appear to have ghosts where they were just added to the stock cut fenders, the hood is like what Motion sold even down to the SS in front of the engine size, and seems I can see where the headlights were just filled in...
That was and could be again a very sweet old school custom....

I like it! Put it on a frame and with something that looks like that, screw it, put a solid beefed up axle and then have some big ol' meats on the back, tubbed and then some. Have the front dropped down on some matching wide ones and couple that with a bare bones interior and you'd be good to go. Ditto for the graphics, I'd keep it, just like it is.
It's not even 30 miles from me...

I would love to find something like that around here... something non-original/non-complete to build a gritty, stripped down, street brawler that you would have no worries about driving the wheels off! sadly even in that state its probably out of my budget... but my C3 will work just fine
