In honor of Ebay dogs

I do a quick run through on ebay pretty much every night that I'm online. I start with alfas, then look at mercedes diesels, then toyota landcruisers, then pinzgauers, and the finish off with Porsches. I like to view them from oldest to newest.

I see some pretty nice cars, but man... there are some dogs. Instead of posting just one, I think it's worth having a thread dedicated to ebay dogs. They need to be properly mourned and honored.

To kick things off, I'd like to present the worst dog on ebay right now:



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976-PORSCHE-911-CABRIOLET-KOENIG-930-TURBO_W0QQitemZ220040427606QQihZ012QQcategoryZ1015 6QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I actually wept for this car; surely to god its eyes are wide open in horror. If my dog had that expression on his face, I'd be compelled by decency to have him put down.

There are many out there. Let's do the decent thing and honor them here, and pray they go peacefully to the great salvage yard in the sky.

Kinda looks like a bastardized Pontiac Sunfire/Lotus Elise look-alike.

Where's that pic of the wonderfully original 356 C coupe and covered it in little tiny pieces of mirrors?

I'm guessing it started as a Nissan 240SX Hatchback based on the windshield and roof line.

There it is... interesting concept, maybe even Art (especially on the lines of a 356) but to have taken a matching numbers survivor car and done that...

wonder what the mirror car would do to a cop's laser gun?

I know, but I was just doing my friday afternoon ebay scan, and saw that car. I figured it was worth reviving the thread!
