Worst Ebay Offer I Have Ever Seen...
This unadulterated POS was originally listed for $2,500.00 US, dropping to $800.00 just before the auction ended. I would not have the nerve to offer something like this for sale and cannot help but wonder what the seller is thinking...

Looks like a stingray 5 speed. Doesn't even look like rear axle attached lmao.but I can't hate on someone for trying to get $$. But if someone has that kind of cash to blow on that garbage good for them

That's easy. The wife said "Put that POS up for sale, I want it out of here." So he did and then told her "Well, no one wanted to buy it so I guess I'll just keep it."

My buddy did that with his '69 Mach 1, his wife kept suggesting he needed to sell it. 100% original, fully documented and every service receipt since Day 1 "black plate" California car, he bought it from the original owner's estate. Wimbledon White, black stripes, black interior, 351W 4 Bbl. 4 speed car. He put it on Ebay for an insane price and was able to convince her the market was soft and he might as well keep it.

What makes it so expen$ive is the new WiFi chain. No links, no wear and tear, no messy lube or cleaning or marks on your leg. Brilliant! 😎

Admittedly, if someone actually finished building it and painted it, it'd be a pretty cool trike for a kid (if he/she could actually pedal it).
But the price? Sounds like they were on some medical weed when they came up with that.

They was thinking, "I only need to sell this once."

My guess is the rear axle is not included, only present to hold up the rear end for the photo
