The World’s Worst Car Is For Sale On Craigslist

Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer. 

Could you buy a running vehicle for less than the cost of one-month’s worth of cell-phone service? Well, that’s what we attempted to discover last week with our quest to find the cheapest runners the classifieds has to offer, and the answer is – you’re darn tooting you can! We’ll see the cheapest set of skates in a minute, but first we’ll need to address this week’s search criteria.

They say it takes all kinds, but this week I want you to find as many one-of-a-kinds as you can. In fact, I want you to find us the most audacious rides that those specific search words – one of a kind – dredge up in your local on-line classifieds. The winner will be the one that we determine offers the greatest reason for its lack of siblings.

As always, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Follow any of the following advice and you’re crap will be known far and wide.

  1. Easiest way to not get caught in the spam filters is to create an IntenseDebate account. If you do so and your posts aren’t appearing, let us know at tips@hooniverse.info and we can put you on the whitelist
  2. If you don’t want an IDC account, you can create a wordpress.com account and do the same thing.
  3. If you’re the Ted Kaczynski type and don’t want any kind of account, then try to place only a single link in a comment and just drop any outgoing link in via its raw URL and not as a text link
Craigslist Crapshoot doesn’t work if your candidates don’t get seen, so hopefully following one of these options will ensure that the floodgates of crap are fully open. Click on through the jump so we can head down to the bargain basement!
 
As I’m sure you’re aware, $500 is the value threshold for consideration as a 24 Hours of LeMons competitor. That doesn’t seem to have any impact in the classified ads however as the magic number there – at least based on the discoveries you made – seems to be $350.
 
Of course, that’s too rich for our blood and that’s why this 1997 Ford F150, found by OA5599, and offered for the seemingly pocket change amount of $100, is this week’s winner.  Excellent work, my friend!
