Today's Disturbing CL Find

http://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/2780954548.html

I bought this truck to transform into a one of a kind show truck. It runs great and has good tires. I have already done alot of work on it and as you can see from the pictures its not your typical F150. I Installed taillights from a 1969 Cadillac Coupe Deville, a 1951 Chevy Bel Air hood, and a 1967 Mercedes Benz grill. I modified all of these so they fit on the truck. In addition to those items I also repainted the interior panels black and yellow, recovered the headliner and visors in faux black ostritch skin, and made the passenger side door a suicide door. This truck also has a new sony 4 speaker stereo and kenwood 12 subwoofer. I haven't finished it yet so it still needs new paint and new interior carpet. Its a great truck. It runs and sounds great.

You really should go look at the rest of the pics.

Wow.

I may have to kill him.

Haven't decided yet.

think that truck can be saved?

It needs to be carefully preserved so that future generations may study it.

Kinda like smallpox.

So who's going to email him for pictures of the passenger side door?

Ostrich skin wtf?

What does that look like?

Soooooo not something I probably want?

Ostrich leather...

I would rather have whale penis leather

I would rather have a whale penis.

Gotta say I like the hood and grill combo.

Odds are it's going to be torched for insurance, so I bid thee farewell.

*EDIT...I like the hood and grill combo...from the front.

If he cut his price in 1/2, I'd throw a cammo paint job on it, the most obnoxious cheap wheels I could find, and rock it as a beater truck.

Anyone else think there might be some overheating issues with that grill though?

Did the seller paint the dash yellow and black without regard for button and knob labels? It looks like the radio and climate control just got pulled, shot with matte black, and put back in.

Hmmmm, looks like the guy had no real vision of the finished truck, just took a stroll through a junkyard with a large shopping cart and took whatever caught his eye.

Mercedes grille with Cadillac taillights? Tho, it might have helped the outcome if the taillights didn't stick UP above the top edge of the truck's bed/tailgate.

And I'm curious as to what the planned final color combo was going to be? Certainly, no one builds a green truck with a yellow interior and almost orange seats and expects it to stay those colors...or do they?

Oh, Jackson, MISSISSIPPI....that goes a LOOOOOONG way to explaining this "jewel".

Don't hate. Not everyone from MS pulls this kinda crap, and this kinda crap isn't just found in MS either.

This man beat him to it by decades!

Truly amazing what some people think looks great.

Too bad he doesn't live in Jackson. He's from Brandon.

Thought he said he modified things to fit. Those Caddy taillights don't fit well and just adding fiberglass raised section to align just doesn't do it. Looks out of place.

I don't HATE Mississippi, so much as view it as the "weird uncle in the attic" of states.

Hey, FLORIDA is the capital of weird! MS is way back there in weirdness.
