Did they not have enough paint for the whole car? It's an absurd approach to a 2 tone.

In keeping w the theme she's got mismatched tires (2tread patterns) on the front as well

I wonder how durable 2 spoke rims are?

Where are the style police when you need them?

The ad says the car is in Michigan but the phone number is Norfolk, VA. Must be a cell phone.

The good news is that it can still be fixed. But it's only worth 500 to me. What do you all think it will sell for. If it sells.

the "upgrades" would definitely have to be removed
he can keep the rims
and a full repaint.
I am glad and disappointed at the same time there are no interior shots.

Different colors on either side for conflicting eye witness reports.

Once past the initial shock, if you ignore the obvious, it seems like a damn nice car.

What were they thinking?

Scuff up the paint, then flat black, 10 cans Krylon,
toss the 4 round things that it rolls on, add some GOLD 15" ralley's
with chrome trim rings, you may have to cut a few coils,
then you might have some exterior shots.
It might not then look so bad.

But who knows what the interior could look like?
I really hate it when day doo dis.

I saw that one too, considered posting it, being a '65 / '64 guy.
I have seen a lot of wheels in my life but - no joke - they are THE ugliest, most disgusting set I have ever seen. It actually makes me angry looking at them. Someone in Michigan has to find and pound this guy...

This is what I hated so much about "Pimp My Ride"....hose the car down with paint and other garbage and leave the engine alone or touch it up with bright accents on **** that doesnt matter...like the alternator...or air cleaner base...or battery tray. The engine bay hasn't been touched except for a few painted parts...what a pile.

Saw a nice Riveria boattail this weekend. The whole car was painted matt black, and the roof was some kind of glitter color. Sea green glitter or something with big wheels. He probably spent a lot of money making the car look like that. Of course you can do with your car whatever you like. The problem with that is though that you just dropped $4k off the selling price at least. Because the next guy does not necessarily have your style.
How much would that Cutlass be worth if it was not for the paint and the wheels?

With the Riviera, at least the car is still on the road, and not in the junkyard, so it can be saved in the future.
