James,

Yikes.... The question must be.. awarded by whom?!?!?

I am sure that the bodywork was well done..but OMG, the horror of it....

This car is b*** ugly with a capital U...
 
Although,

Back in the 60s there were many cars worth a small fortune today that we could buy for a pitence... Value perceived is value attributed...

That car ROCKS!
What a chic magnet!

I wonder if my body shop worked on it? Or better yet, did he get a warrantee on the aluminum? Or just the steel parts like I did.
What steel parts, that cars made of fiberglass and bondo. Wait a minute, I bet he did get it done at my body shop!

Depends on which end you going on about Dart!---Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Whoever did that to that poor car that probably never hurt anyone ought to be put in an insane asylum!

BTW what do you think the finish is? Wallpaper?

Nope, it is "Paisley" RomanH.---Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
 
The pattern is Scottish, but isn't it more of an Argyll than a Paisley? The paint is strange enough but look at the weird cut-outs in the rear seats. What was the builder doing- its completely nuts....

'course, no one ever actually uses the rear seats to sit on, but its very odd to see something like this done....
 
the only fitting punishment for these criminals would be to first " keelhaul" them, then from about 3/4 of a mile out "trebushia" them over the 12 foot high bobwire fence of a "rottweiler" security dog training camp. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
Keoke, Actually, I have always been fond of the 1961 Lincoln Continental convertable.... great lines, classy car from the early 60s...
