If it sells for what it's really worth, it'd be a good start for a challenge car.

It has a Chevy V8, and no other redeeming qualities.

hahahahaha! You have to dress up in you Shaft costume to even think about going anywhere in that.

That would rule as LeMons entry and should probably sell for just a little over $500 so you might have to sell the wheels.

I'd like to have this just to dress up like Huggy Bear, and go to the little old-timers diner on a saturday morning....just because.

Currently $10,000.

That's a lot to pay for a Chevy V-8 and new rubbers.

Will they discount it if the rubbers are used?

Well it was made by Johnson Motor Co. Wonder how they nailed it down to being a '36, if they couldn't even decide if it was a Mercedes or a Duesenburg?

Seriously, who would spend real money on a disaster like this? OK, it's E-Bay, there will be somebody that will appreciate it, but I sure hope he's not a neighbor.

My father in law would buy it.

We once had a conversation about preferred kit type cars and I said I would rather have a "Daytona Coupe" clone than "Se7en" and he said he would rather have one of those...

Well, there are at least 30 people who like it enough to bid on it and one who likes it 11K worth. I'd buy it for a grand. It would be something different to tow the trailer with.

I would drive that. For the lulz that would ensue after dropping in a blown 572 and some slicks and skinnies.

Cut the exhaust off at the headers and have it spit flame out the side of the engine compartment.

It's like a create-your-own Cruella D'Ville car. I can get behind that.

It'd look much better with a correctly sized wire wheel. Something in the 14-15 inch range. Those 20's or whatever are totally out of character.

That would be an awesome candidate for an LSX swap. And since all the third gen suspension goodies will fit it shouldn't be too hard to make it handle.
