I'm still trying to figure out what to post without sounding like a complete old fart.   :scratchhead:

Okay. It's over priced already.   :rotfl:  Who's going to buy that? What a joke.   :jack:

Didn't even look.   

Saw the crazy paint and immediately closed the window with the Fleabay auction.

I did too. But now I have to go look.

Curiosity is killing me. Like the car accident. You have to look for the blood and guts.

Who in their right mind would spend all that money on an interior in a POS like that?   :scratchhead:

Give the 'Necks a bit of credit there GJ. It really has A-H written all over it.

I'm talking about the rednecks on the lower half of the totem pole.
I'm a redneck too, but not that kind.

I have to disagree.
You are insulting rednecks. Rednecks would put the body on a 4x4 Suburban chassis, use 38" tires and an 8" lift kit. Then, they would take it to the mud bog, drink too much PBR and throw up all over the car and themselves. When awakening the next day, they would tell the story of what a great time they had, or at least lie about the parts they couldn't remember.

This thing has RatRod written all over it. That means flat paint, flames, blanket interior, and lowered. Then, using the rustiest parts available, they weld on superfluous, but humorous items, like old wrenches, use old signs for floor pans, or fabricate a bumper from railroad ties. Then they drink too much PBR, get a new tattoo, and have the girlfriend pierce her nether regions all while wearing a black t-shirt, listening to rock-a-billy and wearing a funky hat.

Have I offended everyone now?
My work is done here.

Not quite everyone. 

You forgot to include some sort of religious connotation or at least a reference to someone's smoking hot wife.

All of whom are STILL preferable to the snooty-set who cry when their trailer-queen "only" gets 99.9 points ;D

I like the looks of the '67-'68 Cadillacs on the outside (they look a lot like my '66) but the interiors went the plastic route in 1967-68.  They have the "modern" look of every other car from the 1970's so I prefer the "antique" look from pre-1967.  I think Ralph Nader must have gotten involved about that time so they required padded steering wheels and dash boards etc.  They just don't look the same.  :No:
