This, believe it or not, is a 2007 Chrysler 300.
The owner, however, had other plans and decided to convert it into a Rolls-Royce Phantom wannabe.

The car isn’t exactly subtle, and that’s putting it mildly.
From the Phantom-style bodykit to the choice of colors and materials, everything is, well, over the top.
CHECK THIS OUT!
In addition to the pronounced Phantom-like grille and the massive 24-inch wheels in gold and purple, it has a suede roof.
It looks like somebody chopped off the roof and replaced it with the armrests from an old burlesque-style couch.
The interior is equally tacky, a combination of white leather and deep purple suede.
Furthermore, the door panels, the center console and the dashboard are adorned with plastic gold-colored accents.
And then, we’re not sure why, the owner decided to have the word ‘Royalty’ embroidered in the dashboard.
The best, or worst, part is that this car is actually for sale.
According to the listing, the Chrysler is powered by a HEMI engine.
Mind you, the seller doesn’t say which so your guess is as good as ours: it’s either a 5.7-liter or a 6.4-liter V8.
Either way, the asking price is $25,000.
This is not exactly what you’d cheap.
Especially when you consider this Chrysler 300 Phantom lookalike has already done 110,000 miles.
The Chrysler 300 is on its way out, but you can still find new ones available for about $35,000.
Meanwhile, any other 2007 Chrysler 300C with over 100,000 miles on the odometer would set you back $3,000-4,000.
But hey, this one ‘looks’ like a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
