Tell me it isn't so. Where is the Free Puppies and Candy logo?

The candy inscription washed off a while back, the creepy aura is still intact.

Peter Egan talks about his in his newest column in R&T. Loves his but the front end is rusting away.

I just love that these are in the "Good" section!

Seems like a good deal though.

Doh! There was supposed to be a "bad" section. I'll leave it that way though, touting flaws as features? Yes please :)

That just saves you money in gas since you can't fill it all the way up.

Picture of the included granny shades, included free of charge. They're in great shape with less than a great many scratches and hardly any cracks.

Oooh, very unreasonable indeed but I think someone can do worse, holding out for something truly horrid. :)

What about this: Most of the chassis and body to a 1967 Harley Davidson golf cart; a non-LSD rear axle assembly from a 1st-gen RX-7; the intercooler, exhaust manifold, intake piping, and destroyed turbo from a 1.6L Capri turbo; a disassembled supercharger from a GM 3800 in need of rebuild; and 100 record albums of your choice(from my 10,000+ inventory).
