I've seen this car a few times around my neighborhood, but have never known what it actually is. Any classic car gurus that could help me out?

It looks like an Excalibur of some sort. Hideous things, they are.

Excalibur. Not typically noted as a classic, but given enough time, they may appreciate for no good reason.

Definitely an improvement over the original design...Though that's not saying much!

It's a "neo-classic" pimpmobile-type car. They were basically elaborate body kits made to go on VWs, Lincolns & Cadillacs, Studebakers, & some other cars to make them look like old Duesenbergs and Mercedes SSKs. Lots of companies made them; Clénet, Excalibur, and Zimmer are just a few. This one appears to be a Zimmer Golden Spirit Convertible, based on a newer Mustang. Hell, it could be this exact Zimmer Golden Spirit Convertible:

I doubt it, these fall in the same category as a Shay Model A ford. Those have never caught on.
