Craigslist Freak-of-the-Day

[Geeto67]

Since I am often searching CL and more often than not opening up a link that has me saying "what the fuck", I thought it might be fun to have a thread for people to share their weirdo CL "WTF" finds. I'll start:

Stare at it....this is what watching too much toyko drift and drinking the bong water hath wrought.

HAHAhollly shit. That guys limo explanation is priceless.

 

hi I'm selling my 1985 Chrysler 2 feet stretch executive limousine four-cylinder . These were built for saving gas. A lot of movie stars had these from 1983 to 1986. There wasn't a lot of them built, but they were very expensive packing 82. We had a gas crisis and everybody got scared so they started to make these not like nowadays where they're going up and down car has divider window between front and back air-conditioned. Our Windows, power brakes, power steering, cruise control, has back jump seats what a fold-down 65 in the back comfort as also gloved black box in the back stereo radio and blue neon lights parts are easy to get. I have seen a few 1984's and 86. I think my 85 is the only one existing tires have 75% life can go for the next six years easy . Everything is original, even the motor . It looks like sort of Mitsubishi motor and if you know about these motors. I'm sure they can go over 300,000 . The custom stuff is very nice . It is a real show . Only one in the world that looks like this continental kit in the back back straps on trunk kit will on trunk green hornets style front end car can run and drive anywhere and great on gas also has rear antenna that goes up when you put the stereo on in the back interior, great condition body very good condition no rust. It's from California call Ray For this great by for only 7500

 

Yeah, "They" made "Them". I think its more like "some guy with a junkyard" made "It"

 

edit: well, I guess the underlying car is still a thing: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1983-1986-chrysler-limousine-and-executive-sedan.htm

That limo thing ad was exhausting to read

[RCode04]

The limo looks like Michael Keaton's pimp car in the movie Night Shift.

[aussiek2000]

100hp. Whats the 0-60, 3 days?

[unfunnyryan]

100hp. Whats the 0-60, 3 days?

 

Downhill with a tailwind, Mercury and Venus aligned to the southern sky, and maybe if at 50mph all the plastic shit falls off.

 

I love the modern corded phone inside. Have to keep it classy.

[Buck531]

That Limo is screaming for Doc to buy it.

[craig71188]

Hello, JC Whitney? I'll take one (or more) of everything you have for a K car!

[xlr8tn]

yep....looks like the accessory area at advanced auto puked on that thing.

[Green Bastard]

That Limo is screaming for Doc to buy it.

 

I think I remember him telling me a story once about how he almost bought one.

[zeitgeist57]

The headlamp assemblies on that blue Mustang...it's really nagging me where I've seen them before (with the "cut" upper corner) but I can't remember the car...

 

EDIT: I stared at it long enough 1990-93 Honda Accord.

That's sorta hurtful, Buck, but I'll tell you what:

 

come track day, I'll bring one of my tasteless monstrosities and race you and your Fiero. It should be a breeze for you, considering your Fiero .... "has a LOT left in it."

 

Whaddayasay?

[iwashmycar]

Ok. So what's the front bumper? It looks so familiar with the light cutouts, but I cant find it. I don't see Capri?...or maybe I haven't found the right year

[iwashmycar]

1980s Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe?

 

 

[zeitgeist57]

Chrysler K-car Minivan door handles!!!1!1

 

Seriously, if it had a splash of pink graphics and some Prime wheels, traveled back in time... it would fit right into a 1991 Street Machine car show.

[Chief8one]

looked like a silvia front end to me.... first guess....

That wasnt to put down anything you have. Just saying you buy some odd ball stuff. Not something the normal guy would buy. Thsts all.

Can we get a "Best/worst of CraigsList" Thread? This shit is entertaining

Can we get a "Best/worst of CraigsList" Thread? This shit is entertaining

 

That's kind of what this thread is...except not limited to CL.

[Geeto67]

I'm kind of torn about this...on the one hand it is literally how many trashy cliche's can you put in one car...but on the other hand it's kind of hot rod cool:

Selling (not trading) 66-67 el camino. AS IS.

Chevy Block V8 , 350 turbo, 6 inches chopped (est 43in tall from ground to top of car)

Custom T-Top

Dashboard is a steel copy of a 69 corvette, interior is bare, needs to be finished.

Color : Marine Blue

Have Papers and Key

Been sitting for 20ish yrs, no problems running prior. Surface dirt.

est. 500-1000 miles on the engine.

 

chopped top, t-tops, stomberg 97s, I'm pretty sure I see a fuzzy dash in one of those pics on top of the "corvette dash"....and the seller isn't even sure of the year (the nose is a 1966 by the way).

[zeitgeist57]

I think we've finally found a productive use for Kerry here at CR! :gabe:

 

I would love to see that El Camino cleaned up...and it's going to have to have a Pro-Touring/Stanced lowering job to make a 6" chop work from a visual aspect...but I love that it's got T-Tops too.

 

Really neat find. Honestly, if that thing was closer to Columbus I would love to see how it was done in person. The door window takes a wierd radius at the top where it meets the back edge of the T-top...wonder how that's finished.

 

Pavers on the ground makes me guess that it's sitting outside/under a carport??? Does anyone build a garage/car barn and floor it in pavers? Wait...someone who makes/commissions a 6" chopped-and-T-Topped Chevelle would.

[Geeto67]

I think the T-tops might be Hurst Hatches for a 1975-77 GM A-body. That might explain that small rear roof pillar.

That's the stock el camino door glass. The el camino doors have a unique shape to them different from the coupes and sedans. Even the nomad wagons have a more squared upper door frame. also I think that driver's side window is off it's track since the opening is smaller at the front than the rear.
