Now that I think of it, the LS400 is my favorite LS of all time.

I'm okay with the third facelift with the rounded headlights.

Frank, you're right, it was called a notchback, but this is the one I was talking about, which seems more like a proper re-body than just welding the roof:

It has a more squared-off front and rear than the factory notchback.

king kong · 08-27-2012, 04:45 PM

oh damn, that's different than what i was thinking. I think i rember seeing an article one one of those reboided cars though

king kong · 08-27-2012, 04:46 PM

actually, i saw one a few months ago. I'll have to look up the pics later tonight after I help Matt

Here's another one from the same coachbuilder:

albeee · 08-27-2012, 04:48 PM

Please tell me you're gonna kick some sense into Matt.

albeee · 08-27-2012, 04:49 PM

Like, to stop buying E30s.

king kong · 08-27-2012, 04:51 PM

this is what I was thinking of. They're both factory notchbacks which was just a cabriolet with a hard top welded on.

Yeap, I Googled it and that's what came up. The red one I posted (the one that looks like a Jag from the rear) was what I was looking for.

albeee · 08-27-2012, 04:53 PM

Hmm...I want a coachbuilt car...

you know the stock 356 is a "coach built car" right? lol There were a few companies that rebodied them. The more I look, the more I think that the white car was the one I saw.

Well I suppose, but I meant something more in the lines of a one-off. That's what comes to my mind when I think of something being coachbuilt.

albeee · 08-27-2012, 05:16 PM

Who made the bodies? Karmann?

albeee · 08-27-2012, 05:33 PM

Some really bad journalist?

It was only when she was told to lift up the accelerator and push on the brake did the car suddenly come to a stop.
