This has been around for about 10 years (I think ). I've actually stood next to this. It looks better in person, of course everyone has a comment about the wheels, but no one criticizes the bodywork, color, fit & finish. I believe this started out as a 4-dr sedan.

@chris Another 6 inches length behind the door would have really helped this one IMHO. As it is....no thanks.

I've seen this one too at a Woodward Dream Cruise a few years or so ago. It was very interesting; I agree that it should be a touch longer behind the doors.

In total agreement with each of your comments. The wheels would look better a slightly smaller size and lose the orange. The distance between the rear of the front wheel well to the front seam of the door, should have been duplicated precisely for the rear door seam to the front of the rear wheel well opening, substantially increasing the wheelbase.
Interior IS to die for!

No thanks. In terms of proportions and balance it just goes to show the original designers got it right, and this just ruins it.
