It’s raining cats and dogs this morning, so instead of goofing around outside, I’m power-surfing through Craigslist. For all the cool cars and great deals out there, you sure have to wade through a metric ton of crap. Folks, there’s a wild combination of overpricing, horrible spelling, complete fabrication and creative marketing going on out there.
The Galaxy was Henrie Frod’s greatest legacy.
A rusted out hulk of a Firebird convertible with a six. You’d be better off jacking up the VIN tag and replacing the car around it. I’m pretty sure this is the Mayor of Billerica’s car. (I went to high school there, so I have a permit to make fun of Billerica.)

I post this not for the “Volkswagon” or “chassie” misspellings, but the description which notes, bereft of a hint of irony: “Don’t let the pics fool you. It’s in great condition. Just needs to be polished.”
Sir, all the carnuba wax in the world isn’t going to erase the memory of seeing that epic turd.
Oh, dear God, you’re not even TRYING. Also, you might want to post a picture from this decade.
Suicide is exactly what my wife would force me to commit if I dragged that heap with a disassembled motor and a bent rod into my driveway for anywhere near $3,000.
1965 was a good year for the Frod Galaxy….
I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets sideways by stupid spelling mistakes.
What? Do you own a car without looking at the emblems and therefore do not know how to spell the name of it? I bet you misspell your own name too, huh?
When I was a parts guy, I had a customer come in for a water pump on a “Pontiac Goolie”. I said ” Goolie”? He nodded. I walked outside: six thousand LE 🙂
“Goolie” is friggin’ priceless. Although there aren’t too many goolies out there anymore, I’ll now giggle if I see one. Reminds me of Car and Driver jokingly calling the Merkur XR4TI the “erati”
that is friggen hilarious….lmao
I see it all the time…crazy prices, piss poor spelling…you’re telling me you own the damn thing and you cant even spell it….BTW I have a 1966 Spurt Furry for sale with custome quater pannel vent holes and air shucks for $10000 super rare and hard to find
My biggest pet peeve on CL is the “rare” 3 door 68-72 Suburban. Really people?
Know what i find funny? I look for pontiac grand prixs and i stumble upon GTP models, quite a few say its turbocharged (its a supercharger right on the top of the engine and the cover CLEARLY says it), then they ask stupid prices for ones without rocker panels and the rear strut towers are separated from the body….oh, but IT’S RARE. Millions made are apparently considered rare by today’s standards.
But they ain’t goolies!
Frod’s suck!!! Shevy’s rule!!!
