Default Whats this? Strange amalgamation .......

Mate spotted this and had a bit of chuckle and took some pics .... Sorry if someone here owns it but .......

It's had a lot of work done to it and the transformation must have taken a bit of time! ...... how many XA & B bits can you pick?

I have to say, it looks like they've done a damn good job of it. Looking at that, you'd almost think it left the factory like that

im sure the front end is off a jensen or a reliant. that is quite an effort to make all that work together, i quite like it in a quirky kind of way. would you call it a capalcon or a falpri?

I'm not a big fan of trying to make one car look like another. The grill definitely needs work, and i reckon some panels added to the rear side windows, like a Landau, to get rid of that round Monaro look would finish it off (one way or another).
Where was this car seen Dave?

By the look of that last photo, it looks as though the majority of the rear end is falcon coupe. The rear guards look very coupe'fied, the boot and the entire rear beaver panel, maybe had been rear ended at some stage....
The back looks to have been done pretty well, front looks a bit average though.

Look at the "Coke Bottle" styling of teh rear quarters, ame as XA - XC Coupe, I'd say the creator has matched & welded in coupe quarter panels. Twin exhaust pipes so could be a V8 under the hood?

You have to respect the work that has gone into that. The front end looks similar to a Reliant Scimitar, but is definitely not the same. The twin headlight surrounds could be off a few different cars.
