Wow, just when I thought that I have seen it all you go and dig up this "one of a kind" gem.
Sure looks like a lot of work went into that car to sell it for $1900.
I think a bone stock, unmodified Civic would sell for more than that.

We can all laugh at this, but if you really want a good laugh, just go over to bimmerforums and you'll see a whole community of kids who've turned their Bimmers into Hondas and Vdubs, lol.

true. as much as most of the bimmer community "hates" hondas and the sort, they are too busy doing the same thing to their cars as the guys with the hondas. i saw a e36 325 today with an m3 type fender grill with type r etched into it.. i had a good laugh.

Only 1900?? That's gotta be a typo. I can't figure why they'd ask for so little... not that it's really "worth" more. Heck, I'm tempted to buy the ugly little thing and resell it here in TN. LOL

I've seen that thing so many times, I can't imagine why he's having trouble selling it I notice he has a Vtech engine in it too, must have swapped in the drivetrain from an RC car *facepalm*

I have seen similar ads like this - it is some sort of scam, but I don't know exactly how it goes.

You'll see a very nice car at a very low price and the contact information is always different than the usual craigslist method.

Then you will see the same photo used in another state.

it is a little weird how they have the ad set up, I'm guessing that just using one big picture makes it easier to make a crap load of duplicate postings
