Just because you "can" do something doesn't always mean you should. This is awful.

No doubt I respect the work (design, engineering and fabrication) that goes into something like that but it being built in 2016 vs. a real prototype I would question who would want it and how much they would pay for it? Also, how do you legally change the vin? Is it a "home built" car and was titled in a state that was cool enough to allow a custom vin as opposed to a state assigned number??

Apparently it’s a car nobody actually wants. They get it and then start trying to move it on. Interesting car, until you realize the cuda/challenger/charger you want cost the same or less.

The car wasn't built.likethe prototype drawings. The B body roof doesn't work with the E body lines. It was a great effort incorrectly executed!

I hope everyone ends up hating it so much it keeps dropping off in price until.
It is cost effective to buy it and drive, use it have fun with and go to car shows and cruise here and there.
It is in fact a car.

If I could buy it for 25k id drive the heck out of it. I almost have an equal amount of sedans as I do coupes and one of my trucks is a four door. I just realized... all my newer mopars have 4 doors. Folks got over the more door chargers so they could get used to this.

Id bet out in the wild or at local shows it would get a lot of attention. Maybe mr painted rim hater could build a early four door charger. shruggy

Needs a shaker and a hemi.

You would have to saw the tophat roof off it so it will fit under bridges! It looks like a funeral car!

If they had just shortened the upper door frames and B-pillar to visually work better with the windshield height, the car would be 100% better.
Absolute make-or-break deal, to my eye.
That mystified me when the car debuted, and still does.

Yeah, no argument there; and that illustration keeps more of the Barracuda styling, as they didn't have upper door frames or full B-pillars...ever.

Take it to one of them places that make hard tops into a vert.
I have a E Body Vert roof. If not......Maybe a Sea Body vert roof could be cut down?
Be cool as a 4 door vert. And would take care ofbthr silly roof look.

Ian Roussell could have split the roof and welded a new center in.
If I was doing something like this in would Have had him do it.
He is The Month of make it work and look right.
His work might not be all butt weld but he makes it work.

It is hideous. If the price was low enough would make a nice parts car.
