Yes two days of rain..
Not sure if they drove the Kaiser Darrin or if it came in on a car trailer..
That's in your backyard. Where did you park your 2 Darrins?

A Kaiser Darrin owner paid $20k to have this one constructed. The body pieces were from those made years ago. He had model makers make models of all trim pieces. Subsequently, molds were formed and aluminum casting were made.

This car was appraised in 2013 for 68k.
If it is stock.. and you do not have to find the parts.. You save a lot of money.. Yes at that price you can not flip the car.. It for someone just to have one..
or It could be a lot of work.. Last pic.s

I find the grill unfortunate given how nice the rest of the design is and the fact that Dutch rarely if ever screwed up. I still would like one, even with the grill and the lack of real power.
Btw, what is signature about the grill as it relates to Darrin? I understand the "Darrin dip" which is universally known. But the "Darrin kiss" is something I'm unaware of.
not a kiss---it is his artistic image of the heart

AJ:
The background mesh looks to be different, the 'kiss' chrome bezel the same for both. Dutch really should have sketched out a more attractive grille for his modified cars...

The modification that you suggest would have wiped out one of this design signatures/

The grille design is not a "kiss".
I is a design figure that Dutch incorporates into all of his creations in one form or another, i.e., the image of a heart. It is one of his design "signatures".
