One of the local highschool autobody training shops did something similar with a Ford Contour or Mercury Mistique - or maybe one of each - can't recall. Both cars must have been damaged from behind as they cut them off and welded them back together in the middle. Being front drive vehicles, you could get in and drive off in either direction depending on which door you used. Don't know what happens if 2 drivers try at once. It was showing up at car shows around here a few years back. Don't know if it was street legal - probably not.

There, crossing the Golden Gate, was a '59 Chev Impala with the body placed backwards on the chassis. For all the world it looked like it was being driven against the traffic, until you looked inside and saw the driver sitting in the left front looking out over the trunk lid .
