We were all quite sad when we learned that the Cermak Plaza Shopping Center overlords had decided to remove the legendary Berwyn Car Spindle from their property. But now the Berwyn Spindle may be relocated... to your front yard! Yes, it's up for sale on eBay, with a starting bid of $50,000 (and a shipping cost of double that, so you'll probably elect to go pick it up yourself. Make the jump for some video of the Spindle.

One must wonder what the toxicity level of that much pigeon shit would be?
Does the squab come with?
Car kabob!
Looks like a restoration to-do list. I'd also do the Beetle and the 02 first.
I saw that on the news the other day, sweet stuff. Any other chicago wayne's world loving jalops want to pool together and buy this thing?
I call it the months of jan-mar!
Someone sould buy it and stick it in the Uniroyal Tire on I94.

@ash78: Would you "do" them both at the same time? And did you pick them first because it looks like they're easier to "get off"?
That is taking valet parking too far,or are these just the cars of the people that didn't tip?
@POLAЯ THE ЯEDEEMEЯ: Pushin', pullin', or dragon'!
@POLAЯ THE ЯEDEEMEЯ:
Welcome to Double-Team Used Car Lot
Pushin'
Pullin'
Dragon
Damn DP! (double post, that is...)
@Hoser Dave:
I'm surprised we haven't seen a set of these on a Buick yet!
were not worthy
were not worthy
were not worthy
@ash78: So, what's going to compete with this in the PCH showdown tonight?
Oh, and I totally call dibs on one of the Panthers, BTW
@ash78: @Maymar: That was my first thought as well. Start at the top, work your way down like an octuple scoop of PCH.
@Maymar: I think the PCH challenge should be to convert all of these vehicles to a vintage carousel.
Dibs on the Capri!
Cars on a stick, beat dopes on a rope anytime.
Also, has anyone identified what's on there? After the Beetle there's the BMW and what looks like a Dodge Omni or Ford Escort?
Didn't we have an "Identify the Car Spindle Cars" contest in the past? Gotta find it, I'm sure its here.
Wash the bird shit off and I'll take it

@Uncle_Bo: Take a look at the Ebay Listing... not a very good description of each vehicle, but you get the idea.
It is DOTS on a stick!
Histoplasmobiles
Shitz-ka-Bob!
@Mike the Dog: In that case, I call the Grand Prix!
$100,000 for shipping. They always fuck you on the shipping costs.
Look at the question from a "buyer" at the bottom of the Ebay page. Someone has a sense of humor...
Did anyone else see the question on the listing? "Are the cars in working condition?" "It depends on what type of work you want them to do."
Damn, I'm gonna miss that thing. Farewell, old friend!
Never trust a seller with "0" feedback, I bought a bridge that way and got hosed.
Meh. Hundred and fifty grand? For a third that you could gather up the materials, tools and crane rental and make your own version with the junkers of your choice.
That and a couple kegs of beer = a great weekend with the boys.
A question someone asked on the ebay listing was if the cars were running. Right! Which one of you is going to fess up to it?
How complete are these cars when you look at the bottom? Engines in any of these? At least the suspensions won't sag... VBG!
@lascauxcaveman: Yeah, how much would it cost to replicate this via craigslist cars?
i saw it on "Wayne's World".
Always thought it was in down-town Aurora, Illinois!
