I found this guy around Strathmore, Alberta, and I don't know anything else about it besides that it sounded as fun as it looked! Anyone know what this is/what vehicles it's made out of?

More pics below!

Man, the more I hear about Alberta, the more I think I really need to get there one of these days.

Colonade Cutlass or other GM A-body doors.

bed looks like it came from a Chevy truck. C series, maybe?

As for the front.. I'm thinking an Olds or a Buick

Chevy Rally Wheels

And the front - Plymouth Satellite? Dodge Coronet?

Looks like somebody should have just bought an El Camino.

Whatever it is, it's freaking awesome :)

Nice! I was thinking the headlights looked a little out of place somehow

Haha, your guess is as good as mine! This thing has random parts all over the place

I think what we have here is a huge fan of challenges! It's like something you'd cobble together on Junkyard Wars!

I just moved here in September, and I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely worth a look!

True that! I'd DD this thing if I had it. I did a double take when it pulled up next to me

This thing actually wouldn't be bad looking if they clean up the front and rear and put nice bumpers on it.

Nice! That'd make sense for a build! Thanks!

It's kinda like this Toronado Camper.. proportions are way of.. but it's still awesome as.. well something awesome..

Spoon II > Jedidiah 01/21/2015 at 19:52

True story! I think this thing could really pull off a large hood scoop too. It'd raise the hood line a bit, and I think even the whole thing out proportion-wise

Haha, yeah, I can't explain it, but I love it. It looks kind of classy to be honest

That scallop on the front door is Cutlass.

I was thinking this: 70 Coronet:

That car is such a fuck up the ass. It looks like it's built on 73-77 GM A-body platform.

Hood is from Chevelle or El Camino. Fenders and doors look to be from a Cutlass Supreme. Wheels are GM Rallye and truck bed is from a Chevy Stepside. Headlights from a 75'ish Lesabre.

I was wrong I think its an oldsmobile front

Spoon II > Frank Grimes 01/21/2015 at 21:16

Yeah, I think you're right. That little swoosh on the side is pretty much dead on!

That front clip reminds me a bit of a Dodge Coronet.

Looks like an Oldsmobile cutlass A-body colonnade sedan front half, with some mods to the grille on the front end. The upswept character line from the wheel into the door, is the giveaway. The back looks like a 70’s chevy step-side bed, and probably rear cab wall.

She’s a frankenstein monster, all right...
