Has anyone come across such a beast, would it be a worthwhile project?
The reason I ask is that I have been visiting panel shops recently and I came across and interesting job.
It was a 1964 Holden EH sedan that was half way through being converted into a coupe. (They never made from factory)
food for thought

This picture is (unfortunatly) a photoshop. I don't like the front instead of the standard front, but the two door Silhouette   :-*.
I would buy such a "bastard" if it would exist....
Someone in this forum with good skills in body construction and a lot of time and enthusiasm?  ;D

Easier to get the 500SEC which is one car, on a long list, that I would like.

That is some spectacular photoshop.  I would not be able to tell - especially the all-chrome grill.  How is this even possible?

Photoshop manipulation is evident on the hood, in the nearest of the front grill: check to the windows reflex, it's evident they're "strained"  ;)

Nevertheless, the photoshop author did a good job, I agree the idea to design an "overall width" grill above the front is very original item... only, I would prefer the american version sealed beam in combination, not this "like-to-RR" solution. Details, anyway...  :D
