I'm just going to file this one under strange....
Description: This is a Mercedes GTR kit car. It originally came from Florida and has been sitting in a climate controlled storage facility for the past seven years. Overall it’s in great shape. Lots of upgrades. The engine is located in the back. It is a 350 Chevy (mildly built) with an aluminum intake, high performance Eldibroch carburetor. This runs great. The transmission appears to be a Porsche four speed manual with independent suspension. The clutch is in great shape. Heater, headlights, etc all work. Brand new $150.00 battery. Does need a little TLC, like minor brake work from sitting. No rust! Solid steel floors. This was taken in as an owed payment and I have no space for it. Come with a bill of sale. Open to offers.

So you owed someone money and they made you take this to clear your debt? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I would rather pay the debt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It looks like it's from a bad movie from the 70s. I'f the scoops were removed then painted black it might be okay for Halloween. Oy!

I wasn't aware the circus was in town! Someone's dream becomes a nightmare. This abomination has been around for a while.

Okay, so it carries a 914/4 VIN tag. Is that the only 914 part on the car? I can see nothing else that suggests a 914.
As for Mercedes Benz, is the grille the only M-B part. I think you mean Edelbrock, but you could be right and it is another twist on parts. |

This one managed to go SO far to the ugly side... that it is beautiful. I can't stop staring at it.... like a car wreck.
That Chevy badge on the rear did it for me, personally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

And I thought the Citroen Ami was visually challenged, I may have to reevaluate.

Seriously - how drunk (or high) was the OP when they accepted that as payment?

Why does the engine sit so high? Is it just my imagination?

Initially looked like a death trap but then I saw the dual drivers side side-mirrors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
