The "Interesting Cars Found on eBay" thread

Agreed, but if you like the lines, you'd be better off getting a perfect Ferrari 400 and save some $$$.

 

when I was a kid, a friend's parents had a car with a swiveling seat; I want to say it was a Chevy (Malibu/Monte Carlo)?

I'm assuming safety laws brought that to a grinding halt.

 

The Chrysler minivans have swively seats, and a freakin' table.

It's too bad car design has lost to much innovation. The look of this car is just so bizarre and yet interesting.

 

those are the middle seats, not the front (driver's) seat. i don't think anyone makes a swiveling drivers seat anymore.

btw, could they have made that interior more beige?

 

Beige is a lovely color.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Your time in the lab is affecting the way you think

 

Quite possibly!

All the best,
Andrew.

 

YIKES! I one time met a guy who spent like 20K on an AMC pacer including putting a 5.0 out of a Mustang in it. I thought that was way out there but 50K on that car? I could name 100 cars I'd dump that money into before that Fiat.

 

I guess some people get really sentimental about a specific car and want it to be as good as it can be. That sort of thing isn't done thinking you're ever going to sell the car, but I guess circumstances change or the owner who invested in the car has passed on...

All the best,
Andrew.

 

True - I have a LOT in my Porsche 944's, and I will probably never even get a 5th of what I have put into them if it comes time to sell, it just happens to be the car I want to drive and enjoy, and the lack of value doesn't really matter.

 

1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III

(pretty sure the tinted windows aren't stock)

It's a link to the Rolls, not a VW bus.

 

nice Karmann Ghia with the wrong bumpers

thanks, fixed!

 

I have to say that those windows do give it a pretty sweet look tho.

 

Ugly as sin: Electric X 1/9. Not sure how it handles with all the weight in the nose.

Budget to repaint over the awful custom paint job and have fun!

 

My sister would love that car - she's quite the fan of Joker's girlfriend... can't remember what the character's name is right now though.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Umm.... I don't even know how to intro this one...

Well its hideous... and you will definitely stand out if you drive/ride in it. Not sure if its in a good way though...

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!
That's just prime material for another Airplane moment, with Johnny:
Reporter - What does the limo look like?
Johnny - Oh it's a big, pretty, white limo with blue stripes and curtains in the windows, and wheels... it looks like a big Tylenol!
