Curbside Classic Clue

Once again, last night’s clue went too quickly. Within minutes, yoribe called out the MB 240D. Commentator sfdennis1′s correct guess actually appeared on the front page first, but what happens is that first time comments get held up a bit in the back end. But they have a time stamp on them which is what we go by.
Anyway, in hopes of stymieing you id wizards, this car is not quite original; a mild custom actually. But its not something far out like the Envoy Epic, if you get my drift. Anyway, GI will only get you so far. Have fun.

Those look like early-60s full-size Chevy taillights attached to a 1973+ Chevy Nova back end.
I agree it's something newer with something older grafted on and think Dr. Lemming scored. There was a nicely refurbished 63 Valiant convertible running around Hollywood that had had 83 Chrysler Le Baron tail lights reworked into the rear end. It was a nice job. Only jarring because it absolutely wasn't what one would expect, but worked because of that one year only horizontal tail light theme Valiant had for 63: they fit because they were in proportion to the rest of the car and pretty much aped the angular styling of what they replaced.
Looks like an '83-'85 Chevy Celebrity with the taillights removed and replaced by a blank panel with '62-'64 Impala taillights.
It is not any '60s era Chevy. Although it's suggestive, it's wrong, wrong, wrong!
