Cutting the roof off a car to make it a convertible is always a bit sketchy, but the owner seems to have done it the right way, if you can say there even is a right way to do this kind of radical surgery. In any case, you have to hand it to him: the flamed, flat-black ‘84 Gran Fury looks hot. Here’s what he says about it:

1984 Plymouth Gran Fury Police Special. The only four door convertible I bought this car in Cuba while stationed at the US Navy’s Guantamo Bay Naval Base. in my spare time, I welded the doors shut, cut the roof, flamed the front and added custom details like satellite CD and underhood neon. The vehicle was a former Base police patrol car and now serves as the local head-turner. This car deserves to win because it is a raw expression of the love for custom automobiles and a testament to what car folks will do even when on an isolated desert island.
