    He ought to consider changing those seats. Even though comfortble, the styling seems to foreign for such a car. If he does nothing, that car might get doomed to a physical auction at a way lower initial bid

    hey, hey, hey/ and a cautionary tale, of sorts.

    and the flooring looks off, as well... I know it's a resto-mod and personalized and all--- but it doesn't have the "brand new 50's car vibe" the outside of the car has. I watch those TV show car auctions a lot. It would take a "perfect storm" for this car to get bid up to what they're asking. I'm thinking it would stall out at around $50,000. As nice as it is, it's not an $85,000 car. No matter what their ad campaign implies. "Best in the country at a fraction of the cost"

    Somehow "my car is a piece of crap" and "my baby is ugly" never seems appropriate, even if true. :rofl2:

    On this wagon, I don't care for the seats or the big wheels.I'd also be happy with a $29.95 Walmart stereo. ;) Other than that it is very nice.

    It does look nice on the out side, but I agree, the interior seats just don't work in this one.
