I see a few dumpster fires on that property. Better call the fire department! There has to be a stack of J/C Whitney catalogs circa 1994ish in one of those out-buildings.

I'm more of a Firebird guy so someone is going to have to point out what's wrong for me.

Aha! Missing the "Fuel Injection" decal from the door handle. Now I get it. Probably been replaced with a Dorman.

He's probably so proud of what he's done to those poor cars, yet there are some old mopars parked behind that he's just letting rot. Unreal

Re: I had to post this dumpster fire from craigslist....

Ok, at first I thought I saw $1200 and I was thinking a group buy, but then $12,000! LOL.

Sweet Mustang II in the fleet there as well.

I'm detecting a subtle theme amongst his designs but can't quite place it.

Nonetheless, what kind of vert is that? Must be a body kit but I haven/t seen it before. Particularly the rear wing.

You should contact with offer. Start at $10,000 and work you way up though. Bet he settles for 11 or less.

I especially love the compound with make-shift tarp garages all meshed together and falling down.

Re: I had to post this dumpster fire from craigslist....

I can appreciate anyone who gets their dream car and makes it their own, even this one. Unfortunately the changes are a bit...beyond most folks tastes. Maybe this could be the poster child that we show anyone who want to mod their car and ask "Are you sure you want to do that?"
