That may be the greatest sedan ever built and that POS does that to it? And destroys an S63 to do it?
Yeah, not a fan. Where do such animals come from?

I feel body swaps are…. Knock off version of the powertrain swaps.

Right? This would have been way better with subtle (tasteful) mods, not the over the top bling thing.
And where do young people get this kind of dough-re-me?

The YouTube channel has 7.9M subscribers. So that covers them.
Hoovies Garage only has 1.64 and he buys plenty of unobtanium stuff for even the fairly well heeled. Everyday DIY guy? They could tear it down. :-)

One of my first thoughts was similar but more along the line of "where does a dumbass like that guy get this kind of dough?
Apparently, this is not his first attempt at wrecking a classic. How, why, lots of questions...

That might be the worst car I have ever seen. I think John Clay Wolfe explained it best when he compared customizing cars to decorating homes. He said, "Some people just have poor taste."

Just because you can perform modifications doesn't mean you should . That is just awful . If beauty is in the eye of the beholder than Stevie Wonder must love it

From the Family Truckster front end to the Kentucky Go Faster on the trunk lid, that is one thoroughly ugly POS.

that is most definitely not 'old money outside'. it's 'sideways hat wearing Monster energy drinking douchebag won the lottery' outside.
Seriously a very clear failure to grasp what made that car so beautiful.

Agreed. I think it’s a cool concept but they thoroughly botched the execution. If they had done the body swap and retained the original styling with a few modern touches, that would have been pretty cool. Instead it looks like someone ordered every accessory from the JCWhiney catalog and haphazardly tacked them on.

I found some of the same guy's early work.

A man can never have too many stick-on portholes on his custom whip.

I've seen stuff like that in person, but more portholes, and crappier cars.

Now that’s skill.
Stock bottom 5.3l. I’ve played with those and it’s a very responsive engine

The guy even said "Mad Max" on the video. It's nice to see outrages craftsmanship but to what end?
