I can think of so many disparaging comments that its difficult to choose just one. I might want to buy it if I was running a circus.

I wondered what happened to that - I think it's the same one that was on eBay over here several months ago - looks like it, anyway...

<font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Ahhh well where do I start?
That boot lid is bloody awful, Spare tyre bulges on boot lids belong on Lincoln Continentals where they still look awful but at least suit the style sentiment of the car.
The bloody roof is bloody hideous it looks like it belongs on one of those unconvincing faux 30's kitcars ( you know the type that uses body components like doors of the modern doner car).
Other things like the bottoms of the rear flares, the grill, the power bulge and the front air dam are at best just very poor amateur efforts.
The paintwork looks like crap acrylic (Dulon A type or similar rubbish).
The interior decor is best described as early 70's bordello style!
I don't have a problem with the concept of the Ford V8 conversion, but if the design and workmanship is on the sane standard as the body I'd be real worried!
Altogether very pimpmoblie, all you would need to go with it is a diamond stud in the front tooth, a shit load of gold bling, leopard skin pants, blue velvet jacket with wide lapels, a red satin shirt unbuttoned to the waist and a green felt hat!</font id="Comic Sans MS"></font id="size2">

I used to love the Munsters, but I think even Eddie Munster would shy away from this [:0].
Love the MT (Mickey Thompson) rocker covers, same as on my V8 [8D][8D][:D].

Last time I saw chandeliers on the front fenders was in the Escape From New York film. It was Isaac Hayes (The Duke of New York's) car. Personally i would only approve of this creation if the car itself was about to be crushed and this chap saved it....Other than that it belongs under a circus tent...
