I'd be inclined to drive over there and set that atrocity ablaze... do the world a favor.

That paint job would be at home on a 70's van. (Is it bad that I remember those?)

Give it a new paint job, and it would probably be okay.

The sad part is that someone put a lot of work into that paint job. I wonder if this guy was thinking -Im never going to sell-

Not my thing...but the paint work is unreal.
Just think of the time that it took.
Someone had some talent.....the rest of the car is a let down.
This thing must have done a few shows ,then got a lazy owner who wore it out after the work was done.
Im sure that the paint job would be great on a 50s panel van.
I remember those 70s vans my brother had one with a waterbed and **** carpet...etc...
I am amazed that girls fathers would let them get in that thing
