I thought gold trim went out in 1995? The gold wheels are a** and so is the gold lugage rack.....but to each is own. Shouldn't be too hard to make them fac org. On plus side, it's blown with side pipes and has a hardtop. :smash:

Bling Bling money ain't a thing yo. :crazy:

Needs some solid gold light-up curb feelers, then it will be complete!

That actually hurt my eyes when I looked at it.
Ah man! it's so cheesy it acutally has " gold" written on the cheesy mudflaps, lol.

3k in wheels and tires and non-plated parts, and that is ONE AWESOME car... I have seen worse...

You buy the car for that OVER inflated price then pimp some hos for a few years to pay it off.

you won't want to be caught with your pance down
At least not around this car, which the vice squad is undoubtedly keeping a close eye on...


Somebody hand me my pance!

Yo G. That car is off the hook!

I hope the buyer gets a collection of rap cd's with the car.

I wonder why he didn't spring for hydraulics. Probably thought that would be low brow.....

That's nothin about 15 minutes wouldn't fix. Simply remove all the gold..then you have a S/C 40th Anniversary in what looks to be FLAWLESS condition.
