Is that thing legal to drive at night?? I doubt you'd hear the po lice sirens behind ya and their lights would probably be outdone by the blue ones inside and under the car.
Always makes me wonder why a 50k 'invested' car is FSBO for 15k. Something somewhere is not right.

And not one dime went into the engine, transmission, or drivetrain.
Buy it, take all the crap out, you have the car for free
EDIT: Read the add.
"replaced engine" Found an engine that runs and put it in
"Upgraded orginal transmission": put in $40 shift improver kit
"Anti-lock brakes" BS!!
"Driver and Pass side airbags" OMG somebody must have stolen them

"Upgraded orginal transmission": added tranny fluid
"Anti-lock brakes" : no amount of pedal effort will lock up the brakes...
"Driver and Pass side airbags": only when the MIL and her sister drives dis hoopty

Ted, I think those are the 'xenon' HID lights you're talking about? Either that or the Silverstar ones? I hate those things with a passion, especially when I'm on the receiving end of them. They're also a major PITA when the car following you at night has them.

Just noticed also that it has
Someone stop the madness... Everyone knows that the 77 Cutlass came with an infinite ratio belt driven AWD trans, 
There was no leaf suspension in the 77's, the sedans were all slammed and bagged.
No 77 350 engine put out 260 hp. Maybe this is the ground ripping, asphalt shredding 260 CID that's now in the car along with it's TH200 trans.
original 4 speed automatic transmission
Leaf Spring suspension,
260 hp engine

I've seen much MUCH worse.
Nothing really over the top with the outside.
Chucking those hideous wheels & getting the suspension back where it belongs should be easy enough.
The moronic description & price along with the hideous interior & light fetish is the biggest downfall here.
Most stuff out there that has went in the direction this has ..... have far more things one would have to "undo" to make it right.
Lose the 8 metric tons of audio equipment & lighting - gut the interior & give it a more proper & tasteful makeover inside.
A parts car w/a rusted body but good interior would be a good pairing with this.
Course' there's a good chance it's a rolling electrical nitemare that could spontaneously combust at any given moment.
