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. 

Harry Nilsson once sang that one is the loneliest number you could ever do. If that’s true, then all of the one of a kind cars and trucks you found last week should really all get together and have a kumbaya moment. We’ll see the loneliest of the group in just a minute, but first, this week’s quest!  

They say it’s not over until the fat lady sings, and while our nation is suffering from an epidemic of obesity, that’s not the over I want you to find. Instead, I want cab-over pickups – the cooler the better. 

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 to see the most one of a kind the classifieds has to offer!
 
There’s a number of reasons that a car or truck might be classified as one of a kind, and the most common one is that once created, the general consensus is to ensue that never happens again. In the case of the hysterical VW Shorty found by James – who should get himself an Intense Debate account – the reason is obviously that more than one would be two much hilarity for society to handle. It’s just that cute, and is one of the rare Craigslist Crapshoot winners that I’d love to call my own. Well done, James!
