OMG what a blessing this wasn't ever mass produced.  The roof seems out of proportion to the rest of the car.  As a devoted muscle car guy, perhaps I am over reacting but IMHO this one is a definite no-go.

@john-barry Yes, that reminds me JB; the Cuda had a spartan interior that year...it had a much balderdash than the Camaro, Mustang, etc.  Certainly not elegant enough for this proposed Sport Sedan.

Well, it's a fantastic conversion of something I'm glad was never built. I agree with the pre-sale estimates; It should easily bring six-figures.

to me he got some inspiration from the 71 Satellite or even used parts from them?

@david-vandermeer Perhaps this roof height styling harkens back to the late 40s-early 50s, when Chrysler's boast was that a gentleman could wear his fedora while driving one of their cars.  In this Cuda sedan they could include a stove pipe hat!

I don't like it either, totally messed up the side design lines.
