I know it's a bit frowned upon to post Craigslist ads, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen!

Good lord; it looks like a coffin inside - - A coffin for Elvis, if he was reincarnated as a colorblind pimp zombie, and then died.

Says the car's not running. Probably died of embarrassment, poor thing.

Probably pristine metal; not even rust would associate with that.

Call me crazy, but I don't mind the paint job that much on an SA. Seems oddly period-appropriate. The interior and rims though... What the actual ****? And it looks like it's jacked up a few inches?!

Insane.

I'm with Viper on this one...although the rims and the paint don't bother me at all...still looks better than a civic with one of those Shotokan body kits on it...the interior is haneous at best

Those knock-offs look sweet -- not on that car however. Those alone are worth more than $800. Anyway the paint should come off with some blasting, and the interior might still be partially intact under the elvis-coffin material.

OMG, that interior reminds me of the puffy shirt episode of Seinfeld.

Are those real knock offs?

Sad to see another SA destined for the salvage yard in the sky.

I looked at this car when I was in San Antonio a couple years ago. It was for sale then. The guy (guy beofre this guy I think) couldn't get it running due to ignition switch issue and carb issue. He had an ad on CL looking for parts etc... Young guy and starting a family, Had little funds to do anything to the car. So it sat inhis garage. He said it won a lot of trophys on the "show car" circut??? It had been sitting for a couple years at that point and that was 2010. He must have sold it to a buddy or something. I went back to buy it and save the car/restore back to original but could never get an answer on his phone and he had moved in the meantime.
Car was originally silver as thats what the engine bay was. The interior has some sort of tissue paper glued to everything and yes, it is just as revolting in real life as it is in the pics.
