Authenticity question...Did anyone survive this wreck of a low mile car?

The car certainly did not! ebay item # 250085139564

I have always thought that the owner of a car has the freedom to do whatever they please with a car, after all this is America, and we arent Communist!  In this case, I am not only horrified, but speechless, no small feat for me!

The most disgraceful to me, is the way the car is being taunted and advertised.  I pity the fool,if there really is one, that ends up buying this...........car.

What is worse is the seller, or the person that wrote the description never passed Arithmetic at school as the description says 4 Foot Extended Back with Continental Kit.

I cant see 4 feet there.   Maybe 18 to 2, but not 4.

P.S.   Yes, it is ugly, but looks like everything is a simple bolt-on, and once that is removed, and the glass is replaced, wouldnt look half bad.

If this ever shows up at a GN, rest assured it will not place in the original class. I guess Im about like Burt Lahr in The Wizard of Oz. Gosh, guys, Im speechless...
After looking at the pictures, I think he may actually be close in the 4 foot continental length brag. Im wondering why they didnt put a swing set out there...Its as big as some patios. There might even be room for a pool.
You do have to admit, though, that it is in (slightly) better taste than the pink and white pimp-mobile in that Dirty Harry movie where the rookie cops were putting down all the bad guys.

Barry, I believe you mean the one in the film Magnum Force

You open up a interesting debate as to which customized Cadillacs are over the top.

Speaking for myself, I like some of the so called pimpmobiles or jukeboxes.  Many of them use styling features of the classic cars of the 30s, and if done right and tastefully can be quite attractive.  Of course the rule beauty is in the eyes of the beholder prevails.

Another interesting situation brought out by this particular car, is all the awards it has been alleged to win!  It really makes a strong argument against the standard of judging.
