That is perhaps the most hideous vehicle I've ever laid eyes on.

60 grand and they put on a nice 20 dollar set of driving lamps for backup lights. I dont know if that's cooler, or the mock side exhaust. Almost looks as authentic as a Duesenburg. Not.

Sad thing is, I rememember when these kind of cutoms were actually being bought. What was that Matt Houston car? The "Excalibur"? Same target audience besically. I think those were Ford Chassis' though, and a lot better looking (for that type of thing).

The prices almost cracked me up as much as the car. Holy cow.

Actually, I have restored/maintained a customers 2 Excaliburs. They have Corvette drivetrains. His 74 had a 454, th400, Corvette front and rear independent suspension. His 78 had a small-blosk L-48.

Vehicle Description:

!RARE COLLECTIBLE FOR SOMEBODY WITH MORE $$ THAN BRAINS!

Congratulations! You have the pleasure of puking on your keyboard while veiwing an automotive abortion known as a limited production 1979 Drunkman Coach Caballista. This is one of only 50 butchered by Les Drunkman Coachworks. This car is mechanically sound, but needs a body. It features power steering, power disk breaks, air, tilt and telescopic wheel, t-tops, and one pimp-tastic paint job. This rare collectible is available in Bangor, Maine with an opening bid of $1.00

*Will drive to you with a bag over my head so no one can see me, in exchange for a one-way plane ticket to anywhere this car isnt.

Fixed it!

I remember those chevy powered Excaliburs, but I think toward the end of that craze, maybe 83 or so, I remember them doing a version out of the Mercury Cougar that had the little vertical back window, like the turd in these pics. At least I think it was Excalibur. Is that company out of business now?

If we all chip in, we could have him drive it to Baja?
