Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly dive into the deep end of the pool filled with the automotive world’s most horrible road warriors – that you could potentially buy. After two weeks of this, a couple of things have become apparent- one, there’s a lot more crap out there than you could possibly imagine, and two, the threshold of what some of you consider carp is way lower than the rest of us.
On that second note, I’d like to call out Joshuman for offering up an amazing hand built ’50 roadster that while obviously the object of a slightly eclectic individual’s taste, is still pretty freaking cool. But that’s not why we’re here, we want the dreck, the – I wouldn’t be caught dead bungie-cording the trunk shut in the Walmart parking lot on that thing – kinds of cars that are offered for sale, and on that account you all came up with some amazingly bad contenders.
Of course, there can only be one king of the Craigslist Crapshoot per week, and to find out which car or truck rose to the top of the cespool, click on through the jump. Oh and keep looking for more of them this week!
Awful cars, terrible paint, questionable customs- last week’s selection was a cornucopia of crap. The one vehicle that stood out however, was a custom Ford Ranger found by our own Tanshanomi on the Kansas City Craigslist.
The paint job on this Ranger make it look like something shat out by Gauguin, or perhaps driven by some horror in Silent Hill. Well done Tans, and a hearty round of applause to the rest of you for last week’s contributions. It makes you wonder what horrors this week will hold.

Nice find, Tanshanomi! Kinda reminds me of someone. . . .

I've had it. Tastes like someone just slopped malt, hops and water together at random.
This will only work if your name is Karl of course and you are attractive.

It is flu season.
Maybe the truck is Karl, and it runs hot?
Well, or if you have black paint and you or your significant other's name is Kari. Some people spell Kari that way, right? Someone must.
Look what's for sale local to me and is only $2000. Now it isn't running but it is connected to a story from a few days ago.

In the extended listing for this car, they are also selling a multiperson bathtub…? Okay.
Wouldn't a Super 7 be a multiperson bathtub?
He should chop the top, then this would instantly be worth $10000 more.
Also, the phone number is awesome: 983-FIAT, that number again, 983-F-I-A-T. CALL NOW!
Which is funny because I chose to exclude dealer listings.
Ok it's time to talk about how not to sell a car. Lesson 403 don't do the photographs at night.

It's interesting how he put out the work light and still doesn't understand crap about optics. Just a hip shot, I guess.
The work light is out there cause he decided after a fruitless bloody ("also going to need pain") day of wrenching and drinking he decided to just sell it at this point.
Probably would have been a lot better if he turned the friggin' headlights off…
However, I'm glad that's not closer to me. At $700, it would make a nice pairing with this… http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/3542274125.ht…

I don't think I'll top my personal best of that Mustang/Bronco II, but here's a Civic with an engine swap and purple wheels.

It might not be the worst thing I find today, but it is definitely the first thing I found today.

Oooh, that'd make a fun beater after some haggling over the price. The swap looks well executed and should make that light chassis scoot with a quickness. Dude is probably withholding the nice wheels he had on it before he decided to sell.
I'm assuming they're winter tires actually. I was initially disappointed by it, since engine swaps could be a potential for hilarity, but his was clean and well done, but then I saw the purple wheels.
Full disclosure, since I feel guilty not admitting it: your fellow commenter is currently rockin' a Prelude of similar vintage with winter tires mounted on mint green wheels.
I want the H22; seller can keep the Civic shell and the purple wheels as I already discovered the joy of Krylon myself.
I've noticed my winter steelies are starting to rust – this could be the perfect chance to start getting weird with the beater.
I do have a friend who's contemplating rattle canning the wheels or covers on his aged Legacy wagon gold. The car's mid-90s green and not Scooby rally blue, but that's besides the point. I could probably score the leftover gold paint.
Gunning for the bad photography award is this '97 Suburban. The following are the photos the seller has included of the exterior:

those tires are only available for extra money. not sure what bullet hole looking things are across the top either. maybe somebody ran over one of those "do not backup!" strips
You can see the f@%^ing exposed TWI wear bar on the third tire!!! Tire #1 clearly states "2 Repairs" too… Maybe he meant 98.6% toast??
They also look like cambered-out Nitto NT-450s – those haven't been in production for at least 5 years.
I really thought the "No Trades either…don't want your junk." was the crowning jewel of this one.

Car bra on flames is like … putting out a camp fire.
<img src="http://wlogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/campfire.jpg" width="600">
Is giant car bra like that the automotive version of assless chaps? Maybe this is Rob Halford's ride these days.
At least around here, assless chaps have more cachet than a car bra. This is like walking around in shorts, sock garters, birkenstocks and a Hawaiian shirt.
Yeah, but around there, guys don't even bother with the chaps.
All I meant was out here, the guys with assless chaps have their own holiday weekend. Where they don't bother with pants.
Gotcha. Didn't know that. I was just joking about the recent court battle (city hall battle? wherever it took place) about dudes wanting to walk around naked.
City Hall. And that law included an exception for the Folsom Street Fair (said holiday weekend).
Isn't assless chaps redundant? If they had an ass, wouldn't they be pants?
The question sure chaps my ass.
Crappy emblems and tail lights aside- that PT looks pretty good with those wheels.
Lower it a half inch and lose the garbage-bag bra.
How about headlight eyebrows and a bra?
I guess that's not as bad.
It did enhance the 'angry look' though. "Why am I not an Evo? I hate the world. Grrrr."
Yeah, you're right. It needs a pink grill mustache.
Speaking of custom PT Cruisers…

This one's subtle, it seems initially to be just an old truck with a stupid hood – the official vehicle of Saskatchewan – but you quickly begin to see bigger problems the closer you look, like the weird rattlecan paintjob, or the fact that it's clearly made out of more than one truck. Plus it doesn't go in reverse. Also the overdrive needs door handles for some reason, I don't know much about transmissions but this seems strange.

We should put that on a quarter. 'National beater series'.
I guess BC would have a battered Sunfire. Maybe that's just this area. (I hope)
If it weren't for battered Sunfires, Tim Hortons would go out of business. No one would show up to make it, no one would show up to buy it, the economy would just collapse.
But you get a Skidoo as well!
But is it a 23 Skidoo?
Ok, last one:
I don't know if the eagle flag holder comes with the truck or what, but this was his leading image:

Say what you will, I would drive either of those trucks. I used to drive an early eighties ram M880 that was in worse shape and only had a 318.
I'll admit I posted them more because the whole filled with garbage/clearly mid breakdown look isn't the best ad. Sask is kind of light on the really awful stuff this week – though that cobbled together Sierra is plenty scary – but there's a lot of questionable sales tactics.

The '81s came with a 255ci version of the Windsor V8. Which ended up being a malaise turd of an engine, because they got it to 255ci by de-boring the block and using smaller pistons. Which means all the go-faster heads don't work because the valves hit the cylinder walls. Oops. So, no way to uncork it. The 302 swap is a point in its favor, but the rest of the customizations? Well, the headlights look a little Mad Max… I'm sure the interior is 100% tasteful.
I like how the rust is made to look like a paint job. That's impressive.
Here's another hot Impala…

Perfect camouflage. The zombies will think you're dead inside and leave you alone.
Too bad the ad has been taken down.

This is some very amusing stuff.
Since I have posted Volvos that are way too tempting for the past 2 weeks, here's to 3 weeks. $600!!!!

No such thing as a cheap Volvo 850, regardless of how inexpensive it might be to purchase.
So, are we looking for the best-worst, or worst-best? There is a difference, right? (Sadly, this one is not running, it seems)

Is there any rust?
"Now why would you there be a rust issue in a town called Dripping Springs?"
Instead of finishing this '71 'Cuda Convertible resto-mod, the owner must have spent his days huffing a 50-gallon drum of plastic cement. Why else would he be asking $53,000 for it?

Actually that isn't too bad a price. A friend sold one in worse condition for 65k. They only made a little over 1,000 of these, 6cyl and 8's combined.
Okay, so it's a Donk but without the shiny rims…

Yea, very cool old bike, but $2500 for what looks to be little more than a frame and set of crankcases?
"…definately needs TLC. Needs fenders, seat…"
"TLC" must have a new meaning: "all internal engine and primary drive parts."
So for $2500 I get a VIN or serial number and possibly a frame I can use. I'm almost ok with that.
Oh my God this is amazing

Just need to talk him down $300 and it's pre-themed!
I wonder if a pre-themed car ever showed up to LeMons.
And it already has half a roll cage! Besides, no way in heck would the LeMons judges believe that you actually PAID for an ugly paint job like that!
That's true. With that logic, if he won't budge, and the thought of flogging it at a LeMons event unmodified has enthralled you, you probably don't need to talk him down. The Judges won't believe you paid $800 for a sawzalled Chevette.
Wow. Sorta want that.
Would you pay three grand for a beat-to-sh*t, primer-over-Bondo (and/or rust) '88 Toyota pickup…with Lambo doors? If you said yes, maybe you should just join this guy on the island (which, let's be honest, may or may not really exist) to which he is moving.

It makes me happy to see Durangos passing into cheap-as-hell-so-why-not? Territory. They're a great size and have good looks.
Were I a more skilled and enterprising guy, I'd start a company to support those the way All Pro Offroad makes solid axle swap kits for Toyotas.
When done right, I actually like SUVs that have been made into trucks. Maybe it's because I drive a Blazer that was designed to convert between truck and SUV, I dunno.
That said, this one doesn't look like it was done right.

"Trim: ghetto

I'd buy that for a six pack, weld the diff, and drive it sideways until too many vital parts fell off.
O_O You are correct this is the winner.
"the third person that came to buy it gave me the money and started towing it but he hit a bump on the road and the engine caught fire. he returned it promptly after that."
This is hilarious go read it.
Can we buy the film rights to this ad?
Also I tend to post Kijiji stuff too.
There, I'm around this site often enough I figure I should make an account. I still can't believe this ad was on my local kijiji. Nothing cool ever happens in this city.
I'm pretty sure buying this car will earn you an immediate 50 commenter points.
The latest update says it was stolen and totaled. Which Hooniverse person did it?

I point you to the resto-mod portion of the ad.
