Holy lipstick on a pig...

But, but....it's a 2 time trophy winner AND the wheel covers match the interior. Awesome.

gee wally, no bids yet?

well beaver, some people don't run to buy dirty cars with crappy, pieced together upholstery, filthy trunks and a host of other defects, especially when their owner is a little deluded.

so wally, you don't think this car won two trophies?

not on this planet.

Wow, they even glued a bling-gold emblem to the dash.

That poor car. It could still be saved, but it would need a lot. Plus the 280 drinks practically as much gas as a 560, so why not have the V8....
