We rarely showcase modified cars on Ran When Parked, but this one-off Peugeot 304 Coupe we spotted a few weeks ago at a local car show has earned the right to be in these pages.

Two things immediately stood out about this French hot rod when we walked past it. First, it actually looks pretty good. It certainly won’t please everyone but we think it’s a look that works well on a 304 Coupe. Second, it’s remarkably well done. Love it or hate it, it’s hard to deny the folks who built it deserve praise for their attention to detail. If we didn’t know any better, we’d believe this is exactly how it rolled off the assembly line four and a half decades ago.

We weren’t able to track down the owner, so that’s about all we can tell you about this custom 304 Coupe. Shoot us an email (or leave us a comment below) if you know more about this car, who built it, or what it’s powered by.
