Talking

ROFLMAO!!
" This paint job alone is worth $1,000 alone!" HAR HAR...it looks like it was painted with a roller! Look at all the dents in the body. If you have the cash, the fun side of me says "what the hell". For a grand you could probably have it rolling again with some junkyard help. Get yourself a huge, wide brimmed hat with a peacock feather in the band and go trolling with some buddies for some honey's. Guaranteed to be a screaming good time!

Hah! Love it!

"It would be an awesome show car with some love and care." (Yeah, all you'd have to do is exchange every part on this car for every part on - oh - any other car.)

"The paint job alone is worth $1000 alone." (Okay, I'll take the paint - keep the car.) (And if the paint was worth so much, why'd you let your G/F jump into it and dent the door.)

"This is strickly a nice weather ride." (I rather think a nice tornado or hurricane would do.)

"Though it might look pretty it does need a lot of work." (Thus, the $113.50 high bid.) (And I don't think 'pretty' is exactly the word I would have used.)

"It starts but won't run for long without warming up." (This baby received nothing but TLC.) (How in the world do you warm up a car that won't run?! - - A giant microwave?)

There should be some sort of award for ads like this.

I can't believe people are actually bidding on this car.

when I was a teenager we made a Honda CVCC convertible using a giant fiber wheel saw. Now that was a cool ride.

I can't beleive my eyes. And those expensive, beautiful hub caps...WOW. You know the two things that make me want it more and more: The removed door handels "for that smooth clean look" and removed HVAC system so I too can install a TV in the dash. (which a TV in the dash of that car would be a blessing. Hopefully watching pimps-R-US while driving and total the darned thing.) And can you beleive the TV is NOT included! I feel ripped. I demand the TV then the bidding is on!

the wheels of our dreams

Hey!!

What was this guy thinking of??

I love ads like this, and they are AWARD winning for sure: will someone actually pay money for this drop dead gorgeous car?

I think the spelling in this ad says it all: I think the owner stumbled and fell into the car, causing a serious head injury that resulted in the committment to a quality conversion: ahhhh the sweet smell of success

I just have to bid on this.............................................. NOT!!!!

Looks familiar

Darned if that doesn't look like one I saw back home in Tennessee last year....

....the only difference was the interior was gutted and it was being used on a farm as a feed trough for the cattle. Just an old VW going to seed.....I mean, FEED! Don
