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.

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)
