Besides the obvious question of "why?", the "builder" should pay someone the asking price just to haul it off to the crusher and be done with it.

You know nothing else regarding the foundation is any more correct than the exterior of this cobbled pos. I know it's an opinion but frankly, I see nothing worth salvaging.

I'd say his friend got the best part of the deal. What remains is so incredibly heinous, it deserves an incendiary device at close range.

Any one of the donor cars he used to make that disaster would have been worth more than the monster he created.

If it wasn't for Craig's List there would be a lot less threads and countless less posts on this forum. What's really amazing is everytime you think you've seen it all you're minded not so fast.......maybe not.
This one moves right into the conversation as the worst one yet. WTH?

I wonder if he kept a photographic record of the build? That would raise the value. Most buyers of "non-traditional" vehicals like to have that info to display at car shows.
