"All the mural work is in tacked"
With finish nails?
What an absolute mess. It would cost so much to reverse the garbage done to that car. There is NOBODY (except this guy) that would want a cartoon (and why Thumper) themed car, especially for that kind of money. It would sell quicker with a coat of primer laid over the top
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

At this point its more GM than Mopar. For all that he did, he should have started with something like a '66 Chevelle. What would you do with it now? As a tacky 'custom' with no significance, it has no real value. As a GTX it has no value because a majority of it is gone. Would probably be better off parting it out.

Yup... it's a mish mash of fugly junk at this point. Take any salvageable Plymouth parts off, send the rest to the crusher...

Lets be brutally honest. Car needs to be scrapped and parted out for anything that is worthwhile and call it a day. Nobody in their right mind would ever create something that hideous.

Normally, a change to a newer engine is the accepted practice. In this case, a change to an outdated engine (discontinued in 1965) of a different manufacturer is the confusing part.  Are you going to take your new Mustang and put a Mopar 340 small block in it? It's a confusing custom that nobody likes, Chevy guys don't like it, Mopar guys don't like it.  Ford guys will think its funny.  Yeah , it needs ...
