Just crusing eBay and saw this car:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554628684
Description says "My son has outgrown the car and it's carrying capacity (musician/drummer needed a van)". Also says "Converted problematic fuel injection to Carburetor". Therein lies the problem. Check out their conversion:

How in the world can you carry anything in there when you have a dryer hose routed across the cargo area providing air for your carb. Other than that, it seems to be a pretty nice car.

Oh the other hand, there is another eBay car right now that is different from any I think I've seen before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554611366
Front of the top is chopped, back is stock height, so it has quite a rake to it. Add the panel delivery looking side and weird front end, and you have a one of a kind:

That's the same chop I have on my car! Only, mine is still a shell :(

I'm waiting for a friend of mine to ship out his 1954 Morris Minor to Hawaii then the work begins :twisted:

On that second one, the owner should have just bought the Volvo P1800ES Sportwagon that he's trying to imitate. :roll:


Well, pshaw, SOMEBODY has to pee on the campfire 'round here! :lol:

That split sunroof looks like what the Mullet Militia puts in their 80's IROC Camaros around here.
