Looks like it. As awful as it looks, you have to admit whoever did the bodywork is pretty talented.

Not the best job of grafting that Monte back window onto a Cutlass body. Note the hump in the roof just forward of the glass. How much bondo is in that?

Good catch. I didn't notice the hinges at the top of the glass before.

I noticed that too. Imagine the amount of filler caked on there.

At first look I assumed it was an '86 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupe with a bad custom paint job.
