The World’s Worst Car Is For Sale On Craigslist

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for Craigslist Crapshoot. And this week, I’m sending you on a special mission. Your mission, should you choo-choo-choose to accept it, is to find the world’s worst exotic cars for sale. Now, I don’t mean gold-plated Veyrons for ten mil, what fun would there be in that? No, what I want are exotics that have been clapped out and crapped out to the point where they are almost as cheap as an off-brand 70-inch flat screen TV.

I want every fright pig 928, all the monstrous Mondials, and  – throwing you a bone here – every rust bucket Biturbo you can find. Just remember, while we’re looking for the worst exotic crap there is, they at least need to be running and licensable to be considered.  

Also, as reminder of how to keep your crap nominees from getting caught in our commenting system’s spam filter, and hence not getting seen, make sure you’re following the following:

  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. And speaking of open, follow me through the jump to see last week’s open-top Craigslist Crapshoot winner.
Last week’s winner was my favorite Fordoorian, LTDScott. He came up with a rust bucket Toyota Celica being sold by an individual with just enough P-shop skills to be dangerous. Also, Paul Walker.
 
Way to go, Scott!

    This doesn't fit the challenge, admittedly, but Pontiac styling took an odd turn in 1967.

        It's apparently a '67 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible, given that it's the only image with the ad. Or it's a gopher.

          I'm not convinced he built it on a rear engine chassis. Anyone recognize that steering wheel? It doesn't appear to be a Fiero or MR2.

            Steering wheel seems some generic thing with Lambo bull on (original?) cover. Speedo and tach panel is from older BMW, like E30. It has comically small brakes….oh, and it's automatic.

      I really can't understand why someone would go to all the trouble and expense to build something this detailed, when they could buy the real thing on the used market for roughly the same price.
      Seriously, between the donor car, and the OEM Lambo bits, and the custom fabrication labor, you've got to be out six figures.
      OK so the cost of ownership of a real Lambo is high, as the seller says, but a one-off of anything is also going to be a money pit.

    Proper exotics are thin on the ground in Sask, but I distinctly remember Toyota saying the MR2 was faster than a Mondial, and then someone did this to one.

        I didn't paste the ad's headline above, but here it is: 1969 CORVETTE- 427–4 SPEED–PROTOTYPE – $100000 (REDONDO BEACH). A '69 Vette is not Malaise era, and if it is a real 427 car (and nobody credible is saying it is), then it's got better than Malaise performance. Admittedly, though, some of those modifications were made in the Malaise era; the "turbo" hoods were popular in the early 80's, and the January '76 cover of Hot Rod shows the car with the original shorter '69 hood swapped to the longer ones used when the chrome bumpers went away. Of course, the CD and Ipod weren't put into this car until even later.
        But I think you missed the BLACK REAR WINDOW LOUVERS like a LAMBO. MURIA, and it's a prototype. Undoubtedly exotic.

          Fair enough. I scanned and saw '1976' above and thought that was the model year.
          I didn't realize louvers made a car exotic. I guess I rocked one exotic 4 cylinder 1980 Chevy Monza back in college. 😀 It wasn't a prototype, though, although the build quality was close.

    Tucson has a CL ad without any pictures, but for a B21 swapped Volvo 262.
    I have to admit, I'm actually vaguely curious, if only that price were lower…
    http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/3583087514.html
    "Highly modified 79 Volvo 262 Bertone Coupe. Gone is the troublesome V6 and the expensive fuel injection. Now has a B21 Engine/Weber Carb/AW70 auto OD tranny. Oversize HD Radiator, AC converted to rotary/R134. 6 year old Silver paint with Black Vinyl top, LN Accent seats, 15" Alloys/LN tires. New Fuel tank and Cat Converter. Interesting older Valvo trades considered.
    Sorry – can't seem to get photos to upload – please email and I'll try other programs."

      The fact that the ad points out that the headlights and taillights don't leak and that the service guy added lockwashers when tightening some bolts makes me think that these cars weren't known for exceptional fit and finish quality.

        The emblem might not actually be painted over. On my ’87, the emblem is a sort of antique bronze finish, and it would look much the same as this one in a photograph. On the other hand, those bumpers would have originally been chrome, so the odds of the emblem having been painted in this case are markedly increased.

          The paint on the body looks spray-canned, though, too, which makes me think they went over the emblem as well.

            I don't know how I missed that. I knew the lathe thing had to be a reference to something. Thanks- I think I've come to my senses. I'm prone to momentary fits of forgetting anything else going on in life when I see things I want for prices I can afford on craigslist. Especially when those things are 944s or UJMs. Which is why I try and stay away from the motorcycle section- it was happening too frequently.

    How about this over accessorized 1962 Sunbeam Rapier Convertible?
    <img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDgwMA==/$T2eC16dHJHEE9ny2sq1LBRE6w)BvZQ~~48_20.JPG">
    It is hard to think of many cars less suited to wild metallic paint and a bunch of aftermarket bits than a Sunbeam Rapier. A classic Rolls Royce perhaps? I hate to criticism someone’s car but the Rapier is a rather classic British design heavy on the chrome and it just does work with bright blue and yellow paint. It is a sober cruising car not a boy racer. This look may work for some on an old Cavalier but the cheap hood vent and nasty wheel covers clash with the style and mood of the car.

        Maybe that is what the seller meant by needs a bit more work. Port holes to finish off.

    I've decided that the scissor door mod is equal to the Facebook Duckface.

      Looks like it just went hooning in a gay mud puddle. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

      I was to say something about the completely stupid and useless wind deflector on the roof when my brain zoomed back out to the whole picture. Aaaaah, ya. Because he could.

      It seems extra wrong to turn a GM product into a replica of a Ford Exotic.

      It looks like the "Bentley" headlights have been put in wrong on one side? Not sure which side is wrong. You need to post it separately so I can vote on that POS.

    It's a convertible pickup! Maybe not quite an exotic, unless of course we're talking about exotic as in exotic dancer.

    Really late to the party, and have lousy luck posting images, but this one's great, in a good way
    Manual twin-turbo V6 (I assume) AWD wagon. $9500. Yay! Plus, it's called a Legnum.

          Hmmm, a Mitsubishi Galant wagon. There was indeed a twin turbo V6 engine option.

    It's not exactly exotic but just look at the "urban digital camo" paint

      I believe the success of the Genesis Coupe has raised the value of the S Coupe by at least $9.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
