Re: [AMC-list] How the F$#@ could yo do this to a car?? (NON AMC)

Have seen worse, including some frankensteins down on AMC cars too. What I don't understand is if you put all the bling on the vehicle, at least find out what engine it is under the hood before trying to sell it, seller don't know what size engine it is...should have taken his 'Ford Mustang Boss Tribute Car' to a muffler shop and put up on stand to look under it, or have a 'mechainc' look at it first. 

On those doors, that is just retarded. A few months ago a guy was picking up his kids at the school where my kids go, he had done same conversion to his Impala, and front doors went up like this. Rest of car was not worth the door swing kit, but what the hey. My first thought was to a 74 Bricklin I had bought about 10 years ago, only because it was AMC 360V8 powered. Man, that car was fast, and your hinie was scraping the ground when driving.

Those doors however.....the hydraulics were shot and the doors were over 100 pounds. So had to prop them up with shovel or something long and solid. (insert Anthony Weiner joke here). But one time I got really LUCKY when door fell and I had both feet, legs inside car, otherwise would have chopped them off when falling.

I sold Bricklin #216 years ago for $2500, and hope it is in good hands, but seeing those guillotine type doors still to this day scares hell out of me Might have scared the Impala drive too who while kids got in car......held door 'just to be safe' too. 

In CAPS no less the seller mentioned 'needs money more than car as baby on way' yikes!

  I can understand why they did it, I just don't know why they're asking so MUCH for it now that they had their way with it.
