Here's a great Craigslist ad...

Postby TR7Aaron » 29 Apr 2009 01:02

I found this while surfing the web - great ad - I'm sure he got responses from people that would never even dream of owning a TR7...

<font color="blue"><i>Awesome Rat Rod That Will KILL YOU. - $1800 (Marietta)

Probably the least safe thing you could do is drive this car. Maybe that's not a really good selling point, but this car is simply awesome. It's a 1979 convertible Triumph TR7 (with disc brakes) that has been violated with a small block Chevy 350 engine. Add to that high compression double bump heads, Brute Force cams, MSD ignition components, and a slew of other things that make this one of the fastest, funnest, and least safe vehicles you could ever drive.

When you step on the gas in this thing, it SCREAMS, and the front of the car just leaps up. I cannot even begin to describe what the acceleration is like, but it is just...fast. Just really really fast. I have no idea what the horsepower output is, what the zero to sixty times are, or anything like that - but I guarantee there is NOTHING else on the road that can touch this thing. You find me a car you can do rolling burnouts at 30mph in, and maybe that can beat this thing. But probably not.

This car is a total peice of sh1t. It is a death trap, and there's a very real chance if you buy this thing and start hot rodding around town, you will be dead in a week. The motor is actually not a POS, and pretty sweet. The car is a junkyard car, but I suppose if you really wanted to sissy it up you could fix it up or something...but that would be retarded. Drive it like it is, and die in style.

So if you want to get corpsed up in a hurry, or maybe you are one of those lucky and/or safe people that won't drive it like an idiot, you should buy this. The price is slightly negotiable, but not really. Well OK, maybe. No just kidding, not really. Well, OK but just for you. Perhaps. Or not.

This is not a joke. The car is really for sale. Email me for pics and test rides. Almost everyone who has had a test ride in it stomps the "imaginary brake pedal" on the passenger floorboard, so if you have a heart condition or are old or something, go away. If you strike me as an idiot, you cannot buy the car. If you strike me as an idiot who needs to die immediately, you may purchase the car. Location: Marietta </i> </font id="blue">



Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Great ad. I think as long as the passenger doesn't put their foot through the passenger floor then the car is safe enough. [:D]

Ever seen a car full of cool bits go for less than the sum of the parts becaust the body was rotten? Might be an opportunity to get the motor cheap.

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.
