"The car starts by turning on an electric fuel pump, then a switch starts the engine."
It appears the wiper stalk is held on by a string but hey, it has a dash pad.

"As you can see by the photographs, this car is in need of restoration. It does start and can be driven, although I would not attempt to drive it any distance in its current condition."
Looks like the car was originally red too.
Seems the hood is in the best condition and he scrawled all over it in marker.
At least it has a nice air cleaner on the carb.

What the hell is that dual filter rig strapped on the side of the engine?
Two oil filters???
Two toxic waste disposal units?

I saw this on ebay also. My first thought was, his "rock star" status is in no way, shape or form, gonna help him sell this car. At the very least, clean up the interior of all the trash. Secondly, him pictured in the car is a scary image and would make me want to run away, lol

Man, this is making all the rounds from Metalsucks.net to everywhere else.
Sad...and even worse the car is way to representative of the 3rd gen old stereotype.

Re: Check Out This TA Beauty For Sale (Star Car)
The car looks to be originally FLAME RED METALLIC and looks like they sprayed the interior plastics and carpet. That car looks to have had RED interior (87 only). I wonder if it was originally a TPI car and they changed it to carb to fix it cheaper ? Give the guy back his wooden steering wheel that you took from his 50-60's truck

Wasp was the real deal in its time! Notoriety may help this man...some!
This is a perfectly sad example of how time affects everyone and everything.
Keep in mind that this man was once a world class, highly sought-after musician on top of his world - money, screaming fans, groupies, and metal fame in the 80's... the car he enjoyed, like the rest of us F-Body fans... and the undeniable fact that life passes by and things go bad before ya know it.
Not preaching here, but this could be YOUR wake-up call.
