This one is up on eBay right at the moment so if this sort of thing floats your boat, go bid now!
It is basically a Buick with an E-type FHC body. Thankfully it was just an FHC tub, saved from the crusher, not a complete Jaguar lumped and chopped. The latter is a crime, while the former… well let’s just call it “inspiration.” If what Picasso* said is true, this guy is an artistic genius. He stole the most beautiful car design ever, and plopped it down on … well… a Buick. So on the one hand it is a VASTLY improved Buick, but on the other hand it is a horrifically ugly Jaguar! Depends on your perspective I guess. So let’s change our perspective and have a look from the front:
Oh my.

It’s really horrid. But he’s not really claiming it’s a Jaguar, I guess. But…a Buick? When was the last time you had fun in a Buick?
The last time I had fun in a Buick was when in 1979 when I borrowed my Mom’s Buick for a date. 😉
