Does anyone have Carfax access? It'd be interesting to see if it was a 'salvage' title before it was wrecked.

Looks like Manhattan Beach. Maybe the proximity to multi-million-dollar homes adds value? Someone went off the rails trying to create a 360 on a C5 and then just had to add Lambo doors. Wow.

In recognition of rrwirsi’s enjoiner as it regards Commandment 10, I agree with the description as “interesting”.
The builder must have been holding on the the nose art for a while or has had the car already built for a couple of years because Frank Matranga died in May, 2016.

To paraphrase famous philosopher Ian Malcolm:
The car builder was so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
