Funny, my brain didn't register it as a car with a flower bed. It was a car with a jacuzzi tub instead. If only.....

Nice. How Ute(ish) is it under the flower bed?

Dunno yet, I reached out to the seller for bed pictures.  I can fab up a bed with a brake and bead roller.  Most of them have a real trucky bed, this one appears to have a sloped floor.

How Ure(ish) is it underneath?  It's a Fleetwood Brougham. 

\/  Most flower cars are like this, just remove the bustle and it's a Cadimino.  \/

Nah, it just means he wants to go on the road trip with you. Only you know if that is to laugh at your follies or participate in them..

My guess is the slope is an insert.

The seats are pimp worthy.  

Would a GM 5.0 be a 305?

Buick 307.  The only contact info is an email, he hasn't responded yet.  Hope to see it next week.

That Junkyard show thing a guy built a tribute to this car.  The originals are rare according to reality TV

Junkyard guy thought it was a Mirage.  They actually capped off the bed so it's a two seater with no storage.

They sold it for $2500.

Hmmm.....  Emailed the seller twice in four days, no response.  Anyone else reach out to him?

I feel stupid. Flipper or Scammer?

This car sold recently on FB for $3600, now it's $4500.  OK, make a buck, I get it.  Sure does look like the same car, guy's not responding to emails.  No other contact info.

You'll need to log in to post.
