This 1998 LeSabre Truck Will Kill All Joy in Your Life
February is truly shaping up to be an amazing month for utterly bizarre Craigslist finds. First, there’s the awesome case of a 1978 GMC van with a painted-on mural depicting everything from scenes out of Star Trek to incredibly out-of-place nudity. That, for all of its weirdness, is an excellent thing and an absolute steal at $9,500.
And then there’s this, which is also a thing and not nearly as excellent:

That, in case you’re wondering, is the Frankenstein’s-Monster-esque fusion of a 1998 Buick LeSabre…uh…the bottom frame of a bunk bed? An old-fashioned hayride trailer? Who knows.

It’s back to the doldrums for us. Probably forever now. Thanks, random person in Arkansas.

It’s also worth noting that the “boogie” van also had one of the more in-depth listings we’ve ever read, replete with plenty of pros and cons and even a brief look at the history of the van.

Well, at least it’s only $1,200 for this monstrosity, which might make it somewhat worthwhile if only because you can charge people $5 a pop to take their picture next to it like the freakshow attraction that it is.
