Count the number of things wrong with this car........

Craigslist title :
1987 PONTIAC FIREBIRD, OWNED BY HEAVY METAL GUITARIST CHRIS HOLMES! - $1500 (Lakewood)
I am selling this car for Mr. Chris Holmes. I have a signed pink slip from the State of Arizona. This car has never been registered in California and is doubtful that it will pass smog/emissions in its current state. There is no warranty, and the car will be sold as is and will not be pieced out by me.
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. I do not know the size of the engine, but was told it is a small block Chevy. You would have to examine it further to verify. The frame is straight, no collisions are in record. The body has some dents and is in dire need of paint. The interior is in need of complete restoration. The car starts by turning on an electric fuel pump, then a switch starts the engine. It does sound pretty badass once it starts! There is a trunk key, but I do not believe there is a lock. The hood has to be propped up.
Obviously this car needs a bumper to bumper face lift. I am selling it for Chris, as he is now touring with a group in Europe. This is his asking price. Chris kept this car running piecemeal for many years. He said the engine is high-performance, but the potential buyer will have to examine it.
I have seen cars in worse condition turn out to be real showpieces. With some TLC, this car would finish out real nice. Chris even signed the hood for posterity!
Please email me or call if you want to take a look. I will try to answer your questions as best as I can, but I am not an expert on cars.
Thank you!

Re: Count the number of things wrong with this car........
i'd be scared to work on that car. it's probably got syringes, crack pipes, and broken bottles all inside it?
but if you want to own a piece of rock and roll history, (
), go for it.

Re: Count the number of things wrong with this car........
Looks like some hillbilly got Chris Holmes to sit in his car and sign the hood then the hillbilly wrote the little message "This was my baby" stuff on the hood and now is trying to sell it as Chris' car.
W.A.S.P. got a lot of air play on Mtv, back when they actually played MUSIC, for the song "I Wana Be Somebody" back in the 80's....
...and yes I have the bootlegged single "Animal" and No, I don't care who owned that car before, I would not want to buy it.
