It takes all kinds to make the world go round. This is not my cup of tea and I would not have anything that look like this in my driveway. But the owner must be quite proud of it just look at the price.

I wouldn't want it like it is now .The body looks good and could be bolted to a good used running gear and add other needed parts like the hood and radiatorIt appears to have a red steering wheel . The front bumper hasn't been harmed . The fenders look good . The fancy wheels and rat rod running gear and long hood could probably be sold to another rat rodder. the body appears to have good patina .Might could find a patina matching hood at berts in Denver Some people like model A's with a good body with weathered patina . I wouldn't mind having it to build something out of but I wouldn't want to pay a high price for it .Its not a total loss for the right person

It's amazing how much money you can spend turning a perfectly good car into junk.

Great sport.

Find pictures of a car on the internet that the majority of folks on a stock Model A forum won't like.

Make fun of it and watch others pile on.

I think that is what the term FAILS refers to.

This car has nothing, I repeat, NOTHING that I want! Rat Rod? who dreamed up that name to glorify it? POS is more like it To think of the hours that went into creating this (And other) Monstrosities just to have people look when you go by.

People already tell me what to do with my car. And the one in that ad has yuck proportions.
