This has been on here before somewhere. I'm not sure what "statement" would be made driving that around with a grille like that on the front. A lack of taste perhaps?
Someone really had more money than sense if they paid over $20,000 for a grille and steering wheel!

I agree Chris....
$5,500 for a steering wheel! I’d want it made out of a precious metal for that!

This car has been for sale many times. Now the asking price is getting in line with the value today. Why just two pictures though? :)

Ooops!
I must have missed the previous ad for it.
Chris_R nicely sums up what I was also thinking and made me smile.
And yes, the interior deserves a few photos.
This car is another example where a host of expensive mods have done nothing to enhance its appeal.
The opposite, I feel.

Here is that $5,500 steering wheel. It was visible in the original Ebay ad:

It's owners choice, wether you think its tasteful or not, your not driving it
Only working half a day now.
