Something tells me this car doesn't qualify for collectors insurance and unfortunately, the market for 4 door 510's just ain't there at that price.
The rocker panels are wrong for starters. They should curve under the car slightly, but appear to go 'straight down'. it's subtle, but enough to throw the look off from the 3/4 front view.

The rear quarters are very wrong. They shouldn't extend straight down behind the rear wheels like that. the bumper should wrap around to the sides of the car. It's F-up in a big way.

I could handle the rocker panels, but those rear quarters are terrible. Wonder if it's sheet metal or fiberglass? No way this car qualifies for collector status. Wheels, missing door and rocker trim, tinted tail lights and lowered suspension all disqualify it...not to mention the body mods.
