"Back in the day" the Koenig styling was somewhat popular.

after reswallowing my breakfast...

I just had to see the listing on Autotrader...

ONE OF A KIND, ORIGINAL LOW MILES, RARE 5 SPEED MANUAL, A/C, INLINE 6 CYL, LEAHTER INT, ONE OWNER CARFAX, FULLY CUSTOM WIDE BODY, RIMS, AND MUCH MORE, OVER $40K INVESTED IN THE CAR, FULL FIBERGLASS BODY AND EURO BUMPERS, RUNS PERFECT, MUST SEE.......TRADES WELCOME

Let's pick it apart:

ONE OF A KIND - you got that right. There probably aren't 2 people in the world with this level of bad taste and myopia.

ORIGINAL LOW MILES - does this mean they swapped the cluster for a low-mileage one???

RARE 5 SPEED MANUAL - I dunno - were they that rare - probably so in US cars.

LEAHTER INT - someone's got fat fingers on the keyboard

ONE OWNER CARFAX - likely to remain one owner - no sighted person is gonna buy this heap...

FULLY CUSTOM WIDE BODY - NFK - did you see the shot of the BACK of the car? Thing's gotta be a FOOT wider at the back than the front...

RIMS - OK - so it has tires....

AND MUCH MORE - how could there be MORE than this???

OVER $40K INVESTED IN THE CAR - too bad, soooo sad, bye bye... Hopefully a large sum of that $ is the original purchase price...

MUST SEE... no thanks, I've seen enough already

TRADES WELCOME - what in the hell would one offer is a trade for this piece of dog excrement on wheels? Oh, I know, I saw a dead pigeon on the street on the way to work this morning...

Car is for sale in Hollywood FL - sad for the folks of Hollywood... (or maybe hooray if it leaves the city after the sale - I'm envisioning real estate values making a jump after this blight leaves town...)

the rear tires are no where near wide enough to fit those tubs...

Nothing is as good as a true Evo 190E 16 valve



thats the only acceptable body kit I'd allow on my 190E

No way that's a one owner car, anyone who could buy that car new in 1986 would never violate that car in such a manner.

He's got Freestyle allright. The car's dripping with it. Now, how much to rip all that crap off? Couple of hits with a hammer maybe? Someone showing off their fiberglass "skillz"?
