Personally my favorite is the wood grain steering wheel.


I keep going back and looking at it... Kinda like watching a train wreck.



Daimler-Chrystler -- I guess it fits in some wierd frankencar kind of way.

OMG. I didn't see that before. This is all a joke, right. I hope this 'doctor' is not a plastic surgeon.

Definitely not a joke.. there was a company making "replica" kits a while back for around 6k.. they did it to 88-93 lebarons and 83-88 mustangs...

Fiberglass evidently.

Kind of impressive that the car went for over 7k itself for a 93 (earlier?) lebaron with some fiberglass on it.

I like the "It is in need of some minor repairs that are mostly cosmetic" followed by a list of 30 defects.

Yeah I'm a little traumatized myself. Had a dream the other night someone took my car and left me a Go-Kart with a Mercedes steering wheel and Toyo tires.

Not sure but I think they might be related.
