I know this car has been discussed plenty here already.

It's coming up at Mecum in May at Indy:

And I had to click the link. That top just dont get it.

Any guesses on what it will bring?

I just seen that it has 1 mile but is a 340 car. Id bet it would be fun to drive.

It's not something we would buy too many doors.Can appreciate all his hard work,God bless him.But I'm thinking 25,000 or so it's not something people want,now for the people who have museums or wantt to add it to thier collections ok then I guess the price will go up. Saw it at its debut at carlisle didn't care for it.

It has rolled through I think every Mecum for the past few years. I know it was at Kissimmee in January and didn't sell

It's worth whatever the owner can get for the usable parts.

That said, a pal needs good a 1970 Barracuda hood for his car........

man that is god awful. said it in the past and i'll say it again.. its a perfect example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should....

I wonder if anyone is ambitious enough to buy it and put the proper roof on it

Absolutely.

No disrespect to the man and his dream but the roof absolutely kills it. Front to back, the proportions look pretty good, but top to bottom? If I remember correctly, he used B-body doors, but their glass and framework is simply too tall. Had he kept the windows close to the height of a standard 2 door 'Cuda, he would have had a winner (well, at least more so than now). Look at the 2 door, the side glass comes almost even as the top of the windshield. On this, it's what? 4 - 6 inches higher?

I'd love to see someone put a better-proportioned roof on this.

If you put it back to original and documented it as having been the 4-door car it would probably be worth more than it is today !!

He started with the center section of a newer 4-door B-body that had been parted.

I like a lot of 4 door cars but not this one. The back doors look like Coronet doors. I think of AMC when I see those handles on a 4 door. Just to soft looking. Has an old LTD or Galaxie 500 (whatever they were called in '70-'71) 4 door vibe too.

I have to admit I agree about the roof.

Part of it may be that I am so used to seeing the 2 door rear side window but that part above the windshield is way off.

Still the work was well done.

He was a master for sure and I dont recall if he ever let out any possible ideas that would of been different and I know this has been run in the ground. I just never grasped the short height of the front glass.

What if a bunch of people created a go-fund-me page just to get it finished off in a crusher. I love things that are different, but, I make an exception for this thing. It just needs to be gone.

And yes the C pillar ain't makin it.

You know it!

I can appreciate the vision, the talent, the drive, and the craftsmanship. The final result is unfortunately pretty awful.

With that roof height he should have finished it off as a wagon.

There is a humanitarian side to this.

While Dave was making his decisions about his 'vision' for this, he had a brain tumor.

So he was not in his right mind.

He created multiple accounts here to agree with himself, argue with himself at times & he also insulted others, myself included.

The more the cancer progressed, the more angry he got towards others. The admin & moderators here did a great job of removing his posts / multiple accounts when he was having angry episodes.

His widow came to the Carlisle show after his death & sought me out to apologize for his behavior towards me.

She knew that his cancer affected his thinking, so did I so I bear him no ill will.

May he rest in peace & I hope his family remember the good times.

Cancer sucks, no matter who it eats into.
