Yep. I'm all for making four doors into roadsters, as they make great cheap "convertible" replacements that are just as enjoyable to drive.. and I sure do love me some top-down driving.. but that one looks ruined. It's also laughably expensive.

All I think is how much of a shame it is that he didn't put that much time and effort into preserving something more worthwhile. And I absolutely LOL at the idea of someone paying $12k for a Chevy Celebrity
Well, I'm with you, for what that's worth. I have a hard time imagining a bigger waste of money than that pile of crap.

American car makers are just recovering from the '80s because many who are now adult buyers are too young to remember just how crappy their stuff was then. That car is a perfect example.

Looks like it might have extensive filler used in the rockers areas.

If it's not entirely made of bondo. Looking at the pics, I'm not completely sure it's not.
