Being a PT Cruiser, I thought it might look better with this front end.

Ah remember when people would bring their PT Cruisers to classic car shows? At least a couple in Missouri had them. I always thought it was odd.

Yup, those and those goofy little Chevy trucks that were suppose to have the "retro" look. Why in the world would you think they belonged in a classic car event?

Nice body work. Ugly car, but nice body work.
I wonder if there is really a V8 under that bolted on breather.

It does remind me of my favorite 'V8 where it's not supposed to be' car:

454 Beetle at Gatlinburg Free Spirit Run, 1980

Edit: Does this count as an oddball?
