Hey guys, I found this on Ebay. It's wrong on so many levels that I just had to share it with you

MY GOD!!!

Mike where on E-bay do you hang out that they let that in?

Yeah, he has no taste. Would have made a world of difference if he painted the wheels the same color.!!!

Is that thing in W Va? there has been one advertised locally for $2,500.00 with a locked-up 283 in it. It has been in-and-0ut of the shopper for a couple of months and had a price drop once or twice. I've thought about doung something like that but I've always edged to the Fiat Top....a style. I'm afraid to look in Ebay because thoughts keep getting me further from my namesake. GPster

Y'all are just way too spoiled!!

It got flames, fins, a V8, unique paint, custom one-off wheels and it's loud.
What's not to like?

?
It's a classic example of backyard American engineering, a treasure of not necessarly matching spare parts, an abundance of, due to unemployment, spare time resulting in an alcohol inspired effort.

Come on now, admit it, all of us have at least one relative that would claim this as an outstanding lifetime achievement.

Kinda reminds me of Johnny Cash's Cadillac song

Ya know...maybe it just needs a chop....yea, that's it.. chop it...into a lot of little pieces..

I guess the big question is, did anyone actually BID on this thing on Ebay???

If so, what did it go for?
