Okay, I'll bite. 69-Torino with Fairlane front end and 70-Mercury Marauder roof and rear.

 

this is nice, looks like something you'd have seen in Canada or Australia (except for it not being "right hand drive").

I put a whole different front end on it. A lot more like the original (I love retro styling!).

I like the retro front end better than how GM released their current style, Dodge really hit a home run when they produced the new retro Challenger, their Charger I'm not so fond of...

Yeah, that had crossed my mind too. I wondered if I should've just left the roof alone, I thought it started looking more like a conventional 69 Fairlane.

 

Just one more because this is actually something I've been kicking around a while. 64 Riviera with a 66 roof. These exercises help visualize what the issues might be before I cut into plastic. I started my Cannonball car this way.

Both the Camaro's look better than the real one. I don't care for the front on the real one at all. IMO

I have to admit, this is something I've been thinking about in the last few months myself ,, along with the obvious '66 with the '65's formal roofline. The shape of the back fenders and angles of the rear bumpers is not all that different between the two generations of Rivs. Might be an easy swap.

A what if I'd like to build in scale is to kitbash the roof of an AMT '65 Galaxie onto an AMT '65 Lincoln to make a phantom 2dr.

Knockout drop-dead gorgeous. I'd stand in line at the Chevy dealer to get one of those.
