Description:
I’ve got a 1958 General Atomics Enfer 444 in pristine condition for sale! Been in the family since bought new by my grandpa. He named her Christina and it’s stuck since. She can be a bit temperamental at times but has an aura you can’t ignore. She’s been in a couple of minor collisions before, but only the bumper was damaged (and has been replaced) and she was repainted about 15 years ago.
This is the classic American luxury sedan formula, with leather bench seats and the famous 444ci V8. Engine and brakes recently tuned up and it’s got a new battery and tires. If you want to own a solid piece of American automotive history with a whole lot of life left in her, give me a call at (xxx)xxx-xxxx
Asking 9873 firm. No tire kickers or lowballers.
It’s from 1960, and she’s a good one too. Green, just as you like. It’s a Rado L2-1900, with a 1.9l Inline-4 driving the front wheels. It’s got some miles on it and it’s got 92 hp, and will go just over 100 MPH. And it’s comfy with soft suspension and premium seats. So how much does it cost? You’re thinking probably $2000 and up, but this fine example is available for just $287.89! That’s right, just $287.89!
What we have here is a 1964 Imperator by Penrose Customs. Like all Penrose Customs cars, this is a rare and unique model, but this one is even more special since it was one of the first times that famed automotive engineer Martin Penrose experimented with front-wheel drive. Powered by a 5.6L V8 producing 214hp, this lightweight luxobarge runs to 60 in about 9 seconds and can handle like cars half its size. You can own this piece of history for just $5640!
goddammit, missed the deadline 
i didn’t realize it was so early
waitwaitwaitwaitwait. i’ll do the ads for mine tonight.
right. sorry for the double post. but this one is for my ad
1956 Makrolet Chapel for sale
this car was my grandfather’s car back when he was still young, then it was passed down to my father, who tuned and do things to it back when i was still a baby. all i know today is. it’s not an original spec car anymore, it’s fast and it’s LOUD. the interior is still almost completely original.
reason for selling : could not afford to feed the fuel thirst and maintenance cost to keep the car running on the road properly much more. so it has been mostly sitting collecting dust, with only occasional drive like once a month or for special occasion only
Price : $6900 (open for haggling)
sorry for the late ad. and the real price on the spread sheet is $6652.82 if i did it right.
@TR8R Just wanted to know if everything is ok, I was hoping to see some reviews today (Sunday). Just remember the 72 hour rule stated in the original post. 
In the flesh, the BKOO St Louis 360 has the look of a well sculptured piece of automotive art….until you look at it straight on whereby it looks rather mean and angry. The shivers ran down his spine.
The interior is luxurious and comfortable. To the amusement of the seller, he climbs in the boot and asks for the car to be started and revved. With the engine revving he closed the boot and was a little dismayed at the noise level drop. Not quite what he was expecting.
The test drive went well and the car was easy to drive ….but the noise from the back, or lack of, was disappointing….maybe the luxury interior was too much.
@Madrias
The next car was the Sinistra Savage and, from the advert, it looked aggresive. It didn’t “ring any bells” but he thought it would be worth a look anyway.
The car looked pretty classy, once he moved away from the gaudy front then he opened the doors.
HOLY CRAP!! Hadn’t Sinistra heard of seat springs or have they just collapsed through age? He tried sitting in it but it was far too uncomfortable.
Out of curiosity he asked for the car to be started up. Right sort of noise but in the wrong car.
He decided to forego the test drive and carried on.
The rest of the car looked a lot classier but, in itself, wasn’t menacing.
The premium interior felt comfortable. The exhaust sound was loud. Not as loud as the Sinistra but loud enough.
It seemed bad manners not to take it for a test drive and he found it an easy and smooth ride.
Unfortunately the front end just didn’t have what he expected. Disappointedly he left the seller and continued his search.
Another premium interior give a comfortable feeling as he tried different seats. The engine was loud and very audible from the boot. He ponders that someone is going to call the local psych ward with him closing himself in car boots.
The test drive went well but the “menace” factor was still hindering him. He adds it to the list of cars he will consider mainly because the car looked like it was frowning, due to the extended bonnet and the sad mouthed grill.
@abg7
Next on the list was the Fleet Industries Landship. This was a big classy looking car but failed to promote any sort of feeling. He classed this car more in line with an executive car, with a more slightly stately look.
The seats were very comfortable and from the inside this could be the car. But from the outside it definitely wasn’t. He started the car up and the sound coming from the exhaust was a little underwhelming.
The seller mentioned that it was easy to drive but the looks stopped him taking it out and he moved on.
@koolkei
When he looked at the Chapel he thought it had was more dementedly happy than demonically vicious. It’s like they used Barney for Jurassic Park he thought! But as he looked longer it reminded him more of those creepy clowns, which unnerved him slightly.
The creepy clown car stared at him as he walked up the driveway and he didn’t want to be here. The seller opened the car up and he had a look inside. 4 comfortable looking seats.
He apologised for time-wasting but explained that he needed a car with 5 seats. This was another car, similar to the Infiltrator, that had so much going for it but not where it mattered.
The car itself was the most comfortable car he’d seen but the looks were more “executive”, as was the Landship. The sound from the exhaust was very loud, not as spectacular as the Sinistra, but still impressive.
The test drive went very well but, as with a lot of cars, it didn’t have the right look. He thanked the seller and carried on his search.
@nerd
The advert for the Rado L2 showed a rather bland car. It looked more like a sales rep car than something that wanted to kill him.
He decided to pass on this car hoping that he’d find something more suitable.
@LordLetto
The next car he found was the Serpente. It was a car with “interesting” looks. The fact that the indicators were larger than the teeny tiny headlights amused him greatly.
He was greeted with another nice and comfortable interior. The engine and exhaust sounds were very muted.
He looked at the front of the car, again, realised that it was the quirkiness that got him to look at the car and nothing else.
@thecarlover
The last car on his list was the General Atomic Enfer and it looked like it wanted to cause trouble.
Inside he found 6 incredibly comfortable seats, more than he thought were required, but 6 couldn’t be classed as “too many”. The sound from the exhaust wasn’t what he was expecting, or hoping for, especially from the boot.
The test drive went well and so he decided to put this on the maybe list.
He went home to look at his options.
But, But RR With -15 Exhaust!
Also, I may have misinterpreted " In the boot (trunk) of a very large vehicle. It’s VERY NOISY!!!", Was thinking Lot’s of Noise, such as a engine was coming from there as in RR, Not that you were placed in there & it was loud.
He hoped that one of the 3 cars he shortlisted would be the one……
3rd @thecarlover
The Enfer was an angry looking car, angry enough to start a fight in an empty room. He returned to look at the car and drive it out again. As he was driving, this time, he looked around the interior to see if anything “clicked” with him. There was nothing familiar. And the noise level didn’t do it for him.
2nd @conan
Walking towards the St Louis he still thought it was a mean and angry car. But this anger was less visible than the Enfer. It was more……seething. The luxury factor still bothered him but he decided to take it out one final time. Every thing was going well and he’d decided that the St Louis was obviously not the car he was looking for. It had the looks but there was no feeling of trepidation as he drove….and again, the noise level wasn’t there.
Winner - @TheElt
This left the BM Screamer….it wasn’t the meanest looking, the loudest or the scariest but it had enough of everything. Was this really the car of his night terrors? He hoped so.
He handed over the cheque and drove the car away.
He drove the car up into the hills, parked and got out. Taking the large petrol can from the boot he doused the car with fuel and threw a match in the open window.
He retreated to a safe distance and muses that he should have brought marshmallows. The fire blazes, quickly engulfing the car. He’s sure that he can hear screams coming from the car.
The car explodes, making him shield his eyes. The explosion was enough for him to feel it in his chest.
He lowers his hands from his face and knocks something that takes his breath away as a searing pain erupts in his chest.
He looks down. A half cry, half laugh leaks out from between his lips.
Protruding from out of his chest is a wing mirror, a wing mirror from a 1956 BM Screamer.
He coughs which sends another searing pain rupturing through his chest.
A frothy metallic taste starts to fill his mouth. It tastes of blood, his blood.
He collapses to the floor, gazing up at the flame tinged sky while listening to the crackle and pops of the fire.
The smell of blood, smoke and burning rubber fill his nose as he blinks….once…twice……
Hahaha, love it!!! Thanks @TR8R for your halloween themed round, I particularly loved the twist at the end!!! 
Also, congrats to TheElt for a sweet win!!! 
Some of these designs are just awesome. Good job guys.
Well done TheElt - it’s been a long time coming but he has finally won a round!
And I love your epilogue in which you had the client be hoist by his own petard… What a way to go!
Surprised I won at all, cheers for the round!
Sadly I’m gonna be a bit too busy to take on hosting, so I’ll have to pass it onto the next person down, @conan
Alright. Will post something soon.
This round still use the Kee engine.
The year’s 1985. The cold war is still raging on. Timo have been a professor of political science at some university in London for 9 years. And while he doesn’t show his profession to his neighbour, the fact that his daily commuter is a 1974 Fiat 126 that always park on the street in front of his flat branded him as a goddamn communist. His vaguely Easten European looks doesn’t help the case either. The fact is, while he obviously support the case for socialist movement. His political ideology has nothing to do with his choice of wheels. Why shouldn’t a man be able to operate simply a basic, practical and affordable automobile?
Then, on a very cold and miserable monday morning. The Fiat cough it’s last. That car finally gave up it’s ghost on the way to university, leaving Timo stranded on the street of London. It was then that Timo decided that he needed a new ride. The car he bought brand new after he graduated his doctorate degree has traveled nearly 140,000 miles. Quite impressive for any 1970’s machinery, let alone one that’s this cheap.
Now. Timo is not living in poverty, despite his choice of automobile telling otherwise. He came from a wealthy family and obviously could’ve had a better car. But Timo has never been one for Bourgeoisie. Why exactly should he splurge on a more luxury car, when the old Fiat could do the same job? And while his neighbour’s Rover 2200 or Ford Cortina was long gone after 3-4 years, the Fiat made it far longer than that.
So, Timo went to a shop and bought a copy of a renown motoring magazine which on the cover showed a cast of the cheapest cars available in Britain today (1985).
Here’s the catch. Timo do like his car. After all, he had kept a flaky Fiat on the road for so many miles. And he know a few things about them. A shoddily built crap will NOT do. Going the cheapest route won’t mean he’ll accept the car. And obviously, he noted that there’s been a lot of improvement in automotive industry since the Fiat rolled off it’s assembly line.
He’s very much delighted that the magazine he bought compared the cars with the Fiat 126. And then assigned the points in performance, fuel efficiency, handling/stability, comfort, finish and durability. With the car matching the Fiat getting 0 and reaching the standard of a very standard rep car of the day, a 1.6 Cavalier, getting 10. And while the magazine stated that these points aren’t to compare the cars directly. Of course Timo is going to base his choice from this.
And then of course, Timo will try the cars out himself at the dealership. And then decided his workhorse for the next how many years it would take to break it.
A few things of note. Timo is a near 40 years old bachelor living alone in a London flat. He parked on the street and usually doesn’t have to carry anything more than a few kilo of papers but he wouldn’t mind extra space for that occasional uses. Timo will not make prejudice about car’s origin as long as it’s a good one.)
