Any guesses on what it will bring?

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com

Absolutely.

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

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.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

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.
