It does look worrisome indeed but according to the supporting information it's a daily driver. Wow. All the specific Monteverdi bodyparts seems to plastered with filler. As far as I can Judge the Original Dodge Aspen door panels looks to be in a better state (meaning less rusty).
But what caught my attention was the Monteverdi emblem which got moved from the C-pillar towards the front fender. Although very difficult to see I suspected it is similar as ours. And our emblem is slightly different then the ones used on later models. More about this specific detail in this blog:

As said, it's almost impossible to verify this minor detail. My guess is only based on the fact there is more metal spacing above and below the word Monteverdi. The black stripes might have been painted blue along as it's a very rough paint job.
Next the car has the unusual chrome trim which only a very few had. Just like the "2nd" produced MV Sierra which was presented as a pair on the Geneva autosalon. The 2nd produced Sierra was light blue though with a tan interior. I suspect it might have been repainted dark blue. It also has the same rims as our 1st produced Sierra. Which happened to be delivered in the Middle East as well. Potentially they have been sold as a pair.
I'm curious to learn more history about this car. Watch this space.
