Soon everyone will be doing this in place of bodywork & paint. I think this guy is on to something big.
Can someone send me a pic of a gorgeous GTO body so I can put it on my car? I am sick of doing bodywork.

Tired of passing cars that all look the same?

How about a change of pace?

Its rusty, but for $2,500, you'd own the only one like it.

Only a couple of hours from me.

If I could I'd restore it and rent out for Pontiac lovers funerals.
Looking at the demographics in the Street section age poll, looks like it'd get some work over the next few decades.

I had one of those, but it was a '53. The previous owner used it to tow a race car. Had a lot of custom woodwork in the interior that rotted badly.

Last year I was at the landfill to drop off some trash. A couple guys in an old hearse pulled in and backed up to the bin. Everyone stopped and looked over to see just what they were throwing out when he opened that rear door.
I see it around from time to time now, got sort of a rat rod Munster's theme going on with it.

gotta love the dual sidemounts , wheel covers only, recessed wheel cover in trunk, and continenntial kit and none of the above match the wheels on the car. I sure that 4 cyl pulls it along really well.

Hard to believe anyone would ever want a K-car limousine.

Everything is original, even the motor. It looks like sort of Mitsubishi motor and if you know about these motors. I'm sure they can go over 300,000 .
If I know anything about those motors, they didn't have half the longevity of a Buick 3800.

The only thing funnier than the car is the text in the ad.

The name on the cassette deck is very suggestive of what I'm seeing there...

A Mitsubishi engine will go a long way as long as after it gets to 100,000 miles you put oil in it about as often as you put gas in it.

Default K car limo.

Those curtains give way too much of a "hearse" vibe off for my taste.

All the movie stars had k-car limos - that's a good one. He's hoping that whoever buys it is under 30 so they won't remember what pieces of crap those k cars were.

Ain't that the truth. They either leak out the seals like a stuck pig or wear the rings out. The pre mid-90s all had an early to the junkyard reputation.
That one at 119,000 is about due to begin transitioning into a crop duster.

We bought my wife a used Plymouth Voyager with that engine back in the mid 90s. She killed practically every mosquito in the county.

I believe when they spec'd out rings and bearings for those engines they went with lead.
