Yeah, the title is a Simpson's reference. I saw this on Craigslist and got a chuckle out of it (check out the pics) but it is really not funny. Welcome to Detroit...

I love the "I didn't see any bullet holes in it" disclaimer about the dash. That line should work well in any ad.

Can't look at the pictures here at worlk, but those 7 series cars are all over the place here and cheap. Not sure why this one is worth 3 grand when it has been all shot up.

Why would the parts be worth a fortune if there are 7 series cars all over the place cheap??

Yeah, you can find 7 series cars without bullet holes for only a little more money every day of the week. I suppose you could get some of those fake bullet hole decals to cover the real bullet holes. :)

I work at a salvage yard, and a while back we got in a car ('03 Monte Carlo SS) from auction that was wrecked in the front, and had two bullet holes in the deck lid and one in the rear bumper, like the car was being chased and shot at. A few months after we got it in, a guy bought the complete interior, and the yard guy who pulled it found several hundred dollars stashed in the quarter panel. As he was counting it, he noticed that one of the bills didn't look right. Yep, it was all counterfeit.

Damnit. Given a long enough timeline, I'm sure we'll find hundreds of pounds of drugs while gutting a Challenge car. I say a little prayer every time I break out the sawzall.

But could you count the sale of said drugs on your recoup?

Uncle's G/F had a neon. They were at a bar where her son was playing in a band and they had a gang shootout in the parking lot.

evidently they were shooting at her car.. the shop that repaired the damage pulled out 32 bullets.. and he swears there was one still rolling around behind the dash
