Yep. I'm all for making four doors into roadsters, as they make great cheap "convertible" replacements that are just as enjoyable to drive.. and I sure do love me some top-down driving.. but that one looks ruined. It's also laughably expensive.

American car makers are just recovering from the '80s because many who are now adult buyers are too young to remember just how crappy their stuff was then. That car is a perfect example.

If it's not entirely made of bondo. Looking at the pics, I'm not completely sure it's not.

Looks like it might have extensive filler used in the rockers areas.

Yep. Just a quick glance shows extensive bondo bucket status, missing carpet, blown up back seat, upholstery looks tired at best, bent back bumper, pics taken at different times, probably to hide obvious defects that have emerged since.. No scam, just a cheap rough convertible from the land of rust and bondo-filled holes.

Yea, that's how you sell a car, 1 bad picture, covered in Mud & Debris, no description of even the engine/trans type. all that and only $10,000 what a deal.

It always astounds me how bad people are at selling things. Especially expensive items.
