11 weirdest things people tried to sell on Gumtree

60 / 100

8. 1962 International truck-car *Rare Collectors Item*: R10,000

“It has every optional feature that a normal car has:

  • FWD (Fun While Driving)
  • Has a disk brake system – front wheels only (weight saving feature)
  • Has 1 air bag that is in working order (kind of)
  • Has vintage Oldsmobile dash with tilt cruise and hint of mildew
  • Manual power seats
  • Air-Con did work (once) 
  • Lights work (every now and then) 
  • Racing spoiler for that added aerodynamic efficiency
  • Gullwing style bonnet mechanism
  • Has alloy (plated) hubcaps
  • Has a Pontiac Grand Am rear with the original duel exhaust (of a Toyota Corolla) 
  • The car is fuel injected (most of the time) 
  • There are no warning lights showing any cause for concern within the car (they kept flashing so I got rid of them)
  • Stylish (decorative) emergency lights on roof
  • 4 tone colour scheme
  • No extra cost for character added by weld spots

I’ve probably put twice as much into this project as what i’m selling for. I’d like to iterate once more how much of a rarity this vehicle is and how popular it is with attracting babes. Absolute chick magnet.”
