Lmao at all the people not getting the joke about this thing being awful. The original premise of the 2001 Eleanor was pretty cool. Chip Foose made a lot of sweet Resto-mods, and the OG from the movie rocked. Maybe it’s hasn’t aged well to some of us, and that’s fine. However...

It just gets worse the farther I scroll...

It appears that the tied for last place vibe is being lost on people. It is pretty clear from the writing that Steve DaSilva is not a fan and wishes they simply didn’t exist.

+1. 

Those make plenty of sense on the angular, Blade Runner-esque cars of the 80’s. Basically anything that had one of those grids that was screamed “computerz!” as a background for the instruments. Especially an overly large manifold pressure gauge that said “TURBO” in overly large letters. Bonus if it’s in that…

Graph paper looks like the future!

While I’ll certainly agree that “personal luxury” cars of the ’70s are an, ahem, acquired taste, This is actually a pretty fine example of the breed. A big, floaty cruiser made to soak up the miles. It may not be equipped for broken-field running, but it’s equipped perfectly for broken-road cruising.

These big, soft, “floaty” cars were exactly what you needed during long trips on the freeways at the posted 55mph limit. Luxury is a soft ride and room to stretch out. It ain’t a sports car . . .

You either “get” cars like this or you don’t. I was around back when these were new and I thought they were absurd. I still think they’re absurd but they represent an era of American automotive history that ought to be preserved. As long as it needs nothing more than the listed issues it’s well worth the price.

same, I thought it was attached to the land and just happened to float but clearly that’s not the case. just because it’s not designed to go very fast or go out to sea doesn’t disqualify it as a boat just like a barge is still a boat.

This is a $3000 truck in normal times.  It’s not 4x4, it’s not in mint condition, and there isn’t $5000 worth of almonds in the bed.  Since not even one of those is true, this is No Dice for me.

Looks like it :(

Um, is that a BMW kidney grill on the side?

I’d like to add these two vans for consideration 

iPad, portrait, scroll down. This is one of the few slide shows that I liked. 

You know the beauty of buying bananas? I don’t have a salesperson trying to sell me bananas. I know I want bananas. I know I want 6 bananas. I know the condition of the bananas I want. I don’t need some idiot telling me I really want 4 apples.
