This CL post better be a fake

Because I have spousal approval if it's not.

Only you. I wonder if they'd give you an exempt on the budget if you ran that at Lemons?

If you buy it, I want a ride in it!

No, but it will look great as a tow/support vehicle for the Yugo. I kinda think the ad is a hoax, that's really cheap for one of these, but I'll call tomorrow and find out. Then figure out which kidney to sell for it.

Deal :)

Oh, and what exactly were you searching for that led to this discovery?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure those things ran 454s in them.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, from 1988 on they had 350s.

Is there a loading bay door to get the Hammock-mobile in and out?

Looks legit to me although they spelled it "Meyer" instead of "Mayer" and it is right there on the thing. If there was more BS and goofy details I would say otherwise. I did a quick google image search for a pic like the one in the ad and didn't come up with one.

But before you buy it keep in mind you might be at the top of this list if you get it NSFW 9 Devices That Are Clearly Compensating for a Small ...

the phone is prolly ringin' off the hook

A wiener with a broken tranny? Blew a tranny with his wiener??? No wonder he's selling it cheap!

I did a search by image and that one pops up in some oooold internet posts so Im still leaning towards a fake. Sent a text to him this morning though, just in case ;)

There is a lot of potential there for good times, especially at that price.

If I buy it then it's going on the final BABE rally this year. I don't compete anymore, just go along for the ride and to help out with marshalling, so budget be damned.

Means nothing. There are probably as many "Cameros" on CL as there are ones with the name spelled correctly.

I bet you can get that down to challenge priced...

Or just get him to make a bill of sale for the Challenge price and then hand him a few hundred bucks for a tip...?

That's way too good to be true.

Yeah, after doing my research the photo is of one of the series built in 1995 not 1991 as claimed and text messages and phone calls have gone unanswered.

I'm afraid this one is

such a shame

They have told me repeatedly that they don not sell the old Weinermobiles. And that some of the crew members carry tasers
