A true collector's item. Love the bolt on desert lights. And it was owned by a Kuwaiti prince . . . must have been a poor one . . .

That looks like some of the abominations I saw on the road when I was in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Mostly Chevy Caprices and huge land yachts like that (gas was .06 per gallon, after all). This car should have been buried in the sand and forgotten...

That brought back a lot of memories...flew both off the boat and from Bahrain during DS/DS. It seemed every other car was a white Chevy Caprice:)

Something that's to but got be worth!;)

We had a fleet of 23 Chevy Caprices on our base in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for our project. They were slowly getting whittled down as they were "k-balled" for parts as the money to keep them running was scarce.

Did I also mention the Chevy vans? 'nother story...

I am embarassed that that car has a Va title. I feel sorry for that car.

Did they mean owned "by a prince" or owned by "Prince"?

OMG They killed that poor car.

If that what the Kuwaiti Princes were doing to their cars then perhaps Saddam should have stayed longer :D

It's gratifying to know that all the untold billions of dollars we're giving to middle eastern countries is spent on such quality and tasteful artistic choices.

The interior seems in amazing shape compared with the rest of the car? WTF is with the mirrors?
