...and you get a salvage title!! They didn't even put the "Gemballa" script on straight on the rear center lense. Gawd, that's one ugly car. Just goes to show (again) that money can't buy taste or class.

I only wish the owner had included a picture of himself with the car. I'd bet that would raise the entertainment factor to another level.

They should put louvers on the back window of that trans am!


UGLY! Sorry Gemballa fans, that thing is just ugly. Too much of everything. I don't care who owned it before, the car is ugly. Man that's ugly. I gotta go wash my eyes now.

There is something wrong with using "this is a dream" and "salvage title" in the same description.

This the 3rd time, that I recall, thats been on Ebay. The first time it was listed, Felix Hernandez (baseball player as well) was the owner. But it was restated on the 2nd auction that was really Keith Hernendez)

When your trying to sell a car and you get the people mixed up who owned it, appears somewhat proof you really dont know the whole story. Kinda like folklore handed down generation to generation. As time goes by, the story changes a little.

That poor car did not deserve the life it was given.

If you can overlook all of the insanity... gulp... I'm not sure what is more classy... the missing windshield wiper covers... or the floor mats that say *Win this car*...
