If you couldn't tell that's not an american site
You could probably find more if you did a search for the exported f-bodies. I think the ones with the longer quarter panels like that started out as trucks to get around a sports car tax and then converted over after they were shipped to whatever country they were going to.

If that were done better (more skill maybe?) tha wouldn't be too bad. Kinda different. Maybe if the hatch funtioned, but the glass was down the middle and not wrap around...

Yeah I'm with 86TA on this one... looks like a late 60's Mach 1 'stang haha. What a terrible thing to turn a bird into... poor confused bird. I'm rather neutral on the look however, don't like it, don't hate it, but I deffinitely think they could have done a better job.

Re: what kind of body work is this?!?!?!?!
That is a serious blindspot. The look is different. I'm 50-50 on it but that could change.

Re: what kind of body work is this?!?!?!?!
I remember seeing other hacked up thirdgen "truck" things and the explanation at the time was that whatever country it was in had some sort of laws or heavy taxes or some sort of deterrant against certain types of cars, so in order to have them, they had to do these ridiculous modifications. I realize my answer is very vague, but I really don't remember the details. It's been discussed here before though, so if you can hit a couple of the right key words in a search you should get your answer.

Re: what kind of body work is this?!?!?!?!
a little long for my taste prolly handles like crap but it looks to be a 83-86 bird with a lift kit and almost 2' feet of metal welded on the back not a bad job but not that pretty.
