I think what he meant by odd waas not as much the metric speedo and US plate
opening as much as the fabricated engine bay and US plate opening. Or at
least that is what *I* thought was odd. I'm thinking that it was a rusted to
shreds US car (or early Euro-car) that was rebuilt by fabricating all new
major parts.

Euro cars have the same license plate recession as US cars so there's
nothing odd about that. It has the US side markers and that's a much harder
retrofit than the speedo. It does have the "park left" wipers and roof
antenna though. There are other things I don't recognize too like the remote
mount brake fluid reservoirs and the straight front wall of the front trunk.
