Are you tired of walking out of a restaurant and exclaiming “Rats! Where did we park?” This may be the car, or truck, or… thing for you! This physical testimony to the lack of recreational opportunities near Weston, Missouri began life as a 1963 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door sedan and a Chevrolet C/K20 4×4 pickup truck of nondescript vintage, now merged for the somewhat useful transportation and certain entertainment of all. This creation showed up back in December, but apparently, it didn’t find a new home (find the original story here). It’s since been relisted and it’s just so odd, that we couldn’t resist taking another look. Now listed here on eBay, this Frankenmobile could be yours; simply click Buy It Now and it’s yours for $4,950.

In the immortal words of Mary Poppins, “Well begun is half done,” and this rig is said to move under its own power. Stopping, however, becomes more interesting as this rig lacks functional brakes. Installing a master cylinder is suggested as a first step.

The four-speed manual transmission and yard-stick shifter somehow fit this vehicle perfectly. Seats are not yet mounted, so bring your ninja reflexes when loading that trailer. The seller reports the tires have dry-rotted, but hold air.

Quick! Someone pour wood stain (or the unknown contents of that mystery can from the back of the garage) all over this tidy-looking red and black engine. Those shiny bits are blowing the whole “I’ve come from the swamp to eat your young while blasting death-metal” theme. Beauty and value lie in the eye of the beholder. Does the sum total of one Bel Air two-door, one shiny 350 small-block, one 4×4 chassis, and a truck-load of “hold my beer” engineering equal $5,000?
