I have always loved this body style.  No clue why the world doesn't seem to care for it.

That looks like Freiburger and Dulcich should be showing up any minute.

Or do this to it....

That's a generation too new, but if you wanted to go the the route, you could do far worse than replicating "Mr Rally" Scott Harvey's "family car"

Yup, also a fan of that body style.

Those are cool. A friend had one when I was young and complained that the huge rear glass allowed the interior of the car to get too hot, but I imagine with modern reflective films, that wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Having some experience, i can tell you the rear window is worth the asking price.

They are really cool looking cars. And they always makes me think of Jay Leno!

Seen that before, and I'm always surprised Jay didn't, with all his experience,  try to cross his arms or grasp the belts.

I had a '65 Barracuda in college. It had even worse paint than that one and the rear deck lid was missing. I had to drill holes in the bottom of the trunk so the rainwater would drain out. It never failed to start.

I paid $500 for it and should have kept it.
