Wheels on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode.
Hopefully.

Good on you, Corvedillavalier dude.
But, come on! No photos of that split window rear??

Actually, when I read the headline, I thought it said "Men in Black" and was looking for the alien connection. But I guess with 6 degrees of separation you can get from Tommy Lee Jones to Loretta Lynn etc and thence to Mr. Cash.

The "seller" must have the $4500 in the wrong column. I might be willing to take it off of his hands if he paid me $4500.

And how do you explain this to someone interested in cars? They ask you what the hell it is, and you have to start off with "Well, you see, it's a Cavalier..." Then they just walk off to go look at something from less embarrassing origins.

Unfortunately, this guy's ad specifies a "2.6 engine". Beats the hell outta me..

The engineerd Fair Market Value (eFMV patent pending) can not understand this car, so it will be taking a rest today.
Instead, I'm going to speak from the gut. I'm going to shoot from the hip and tell you why this car deservs a vote of Nice Price from each and every person on here.
First, let's look at what it isn't. It isn't bland. It isn't the same as anything anyone else on your block will be driving. It isn't going to be overlooked by passersby. It isn't like anything else on the face of this planet.
You see, you don't necessarily buy this as your daily driver. However, you do buy it to be unique. To show the world that there are still people who look at the automobile as something more than an appliance. In a sea of Camrys, Malibus and Civics, we have to show people that they can and should expect more from their car than just a box of mush. In fact, as Jalops we have a duty to proselytize the world in our ways.
Let's now look at what it is. It's unique. It's polarizing. It's going to get looks.
Whether those looks are of disgust or in delight, the car has done its job. Some of the greatest artists have been the ones that force people to make a decision. Do you love this car or not? Whether you love it or hate it, this car has done its job. It has forced you to make a decision. This, my friends, it what makes it great. In the same vein as Porsche with the Panamera, or BMW with the Bangle Butt, this car has forced humanity to stop, look, decide and discuss.
With the Woodward Dream Cruise coming up, I hope someone buys this and drives up Woodward. It's not exactly my style, but I can appreciate it.

Besides, it's not as bland as the Cavalier it started off as.

This car was at the Wisconsin Dells Car show in the spring. It is so clapped out and brutal words can't describe the mess it is in.
It was in the "swap meet" section and there is no possible way I have anything I'd swap to put that mess in my yard. Yes, yard, on jack stands, next to the washer and dryer.
That would be its best parking space.

@P161911 now with M POWER!: Most definitely not '49 Caddy fins.

Crack pipe. I would sooner buy this piece at a time Caddy.
