Default Another Ebay wonder...

Can you imagine telling the cop that you had a "custom VIN (7-digit)"?

I normally do not reply to these type of Ebay posts but a "custom" VIN is a first!

That looks like what results when a=a Studabaker Avanti (for those who are old enough to remember) is rear-ended by a 1972 lincoln continental. :D

At least some of these whacked out customs are done right.

That one isn't even done well or correctly.

Custom VIN? Isn't that what you put on stolen cars before you sell them? That thing is an atrocity. What the heck does batmobile style t-tops mean?

Maybe you can take that thing in as a resto project, Rhys. Body-off it. :) It wouldn't look...horribly bad... if it were symmetrical. And the notches on the fenders didn't look so cheap.
