Throughout the ages, we’ve encountered numerous debatable custom vehicles. While I’m sure there exist automobiles more abysmal than a Chrysler Sebring donning the structure of a Chevy Corvair with airbrushed patina, recalling them at this moment eludes me. Nevertheless, one must presume they exist in some form?
If, however, the concept of an aged American automobile adorned with the fused exterior of another, much older, entirely distinct American car intrigues you, then fortune smiles upon you. Behold the Chrysrolet Corbring in all its glory, currently up for grabs in Parkland County, Alberta. This rarity is listed on Facebook Marketplace for approximately $4,500 in Canadian currency, representing a 2004 Sebring Convertible at its core, the preferred vehicle of the esteemed Michael Gary Scott.

Superficially, it has been altered to resemble a 1962 Corvair Monza convertible, complete with paint-based emulations simulating the type of aging and deterioration indicative of a ’60s Chevy having weathered six decades of rain. Additionally, observe the eerie metallic hands poised before the side mirrors.
Perplexed? Indeed, so am I.
The listing proclaims, “Is insured and registered,” further adding, “Carfax included. No accidents. Runs and drives superbly, and is prepared for your pleasure. Recently enjoyed a cruise at [75 mph] with the top down, attracting considerable attention.” Undoubtedly, this spectacle would draw substantial gazes while traversing the highways. Yet, one might question whether these are the sought-after gazes.
Hidden beneath the attention-grabbing design lies the Sebring’s 2.7-liter V6 engine, which has reportedly been in use for more than 175,000 miles. The vendor also notes that it boasts a “fully operational power top with no damages” as well as a “custom tilt front end” and “recent tires.”
Despite its questionable aesthetics, it is reassuring to learn that this car is unlikely to face mechanical issues in the near future.
