What's the story? Are those doors really top-hinged?

I remember seeing this car in an older Registry issue. It actually did resemble a Gullwing somewhat. I think the actual function of the doors remained but lines were painted to give the illusion of a gullwing type opening.

Interesting feature of this particular notchback is that it has the single grill, typical of T-5 chassis, yet has a T-6 trunk lid. Curious.

It was for sale around 2009, If my memory serves everything was just graphics, no gullwing doors or fender flares. A strange one indeed!

I can see now that it may all be graphics. Someone with lots of time on their hands. Pretty cool though.
