Why would someone do that to that car? Why would someone buy a car in that condition?

I think the guy is asking WAY too much.

He said he started the bodywork in 1983, but he didn't say when he finished. Ha ha. Almost as ugly as that 27" lifted Chevy.

Why the rear wheel skirts? Its like a electric Honda car- stupid. I like the front, but not the dumb rear end. The rear lights don't fit the car. -BBB

Must have belonged to the Camero part of the month club and didn't know how to get off the list.
If it wasn't so much effort, I'd track his sales success (or not).

The question isn't why'd he do it, but who'd want it.
Even if it is a Camero, I feel sorry for it, poor thing.
Can you imagine your daddy dressing you up like that and making you wear skirts too!

he'll have a hard time selling it, as most heavily modded cars like that are built to builder's taste not buyers' taste.

Another example of more money that taste. There weren't any bids on it either.
