Interesting Conversion...
I came across this when I was browsing random cars on eBay tonight. Can't say I've ever heard nor seen this before. I kind of like it, but am a little "ehh" on that front nose. I know what most are going to say knowing this forum (
), but what do you guys think?

The most interesting part of the eBay listing for me, was the claim of it being only 1 of 4 built.
I would have thought that after they made the first one, they would have hung the designer . . . . . . .

It's amazing there are bids on it. Maybe it is wanted as a parts car or something.

The interior is passable, but the *** looks like a Karmen Ghia.

Seen them before, but the current bid of $5,300 is about right for the selling price

I like some of the interior mods, so that saved it from a 5 Ack! rating.
I'd give it

Ugh!! I hope GM doesn't hire the designer. The car's design looks very confused.
