This allegedly started life as the frame of a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. Now it’s... well, I don’t know what the hell it is. But you can have it for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The man with the plan was obviously “inspired” by a whole mess of mediocre GM products. The headlights look like more rounded versions of the last F-Body Camaros. The taillights are C5-tastic. My guess is the bed is off an old S10. The front clip and rear fenders look custom, in the same way that when you scribble nonsense on a blank piece of paper it becomes “custom” too.

My first question, obviously, is why. My second question is how do you get to the engine? There’s no hood. Which means the entire front end must tilt forward, like Doge’s Hummer. That’s how you know it’s a real truck, after all. And yet, in the most un-truck move ever, the owner decided to lose the bench seat. So close, yet so far.

Oh yes, and someone tricked a blind person into bidding $10K, reserve not met. How much you want to bet the seller refuses to come down?

Ah yes, Domo Kun with the Arachnoid template from Forgotten Realms: Underdark.

Wow. A whole lot of effort went into this. For some reason.

It looks pretty neat for a custom car. At least it is finished, and it is finished right. That said, the car must be real perfect to be worth that price.

There are times when a little bit of 3.5 D&D geekery escapes. This was one of them.
Now let me tell you about my half-illithid changeling munchkin thought exercise...

A car must be worthwhile to be worthy of that price. There will always be people who go ham when modifying and then expect strangers to subsidize their insanity.

Ugh, if someone is willing to give him $10k for that he better take it. It’s ugly but it looks like good craftmanship. A different set of wheels would do wonders.

IIRC I or someone else got one of these on NPoCP or somesuch a few years ago. It was either this one or one pretty similar.

‘’This truck is very sentimental ‘’ - That might had something to do with it.

The car has nothing to compare it to price wise, so he just asks for it what he feels is right. It does seem like a lot of good work has gone into it.

“Vipette”

They said it like it’s a thing.

This should not be a thing.

$30K overpriced.

Apart from the taillights, I like it. Corvette lights never look good on the back of a pickup (prove me wrong). Caddy lights would have been better. Otherwise I’d buy it if it was at a reasonable price BUT$14500YOUMYDEARSIRAREFUCKINGDELUSIONAL.
