Do you have a burning desire to own a rolling piece of Rock and Roll history, but can’t seem to find the scratch to pick up Elvis’ Lincoln or Billy Gibbon’s Ford Coupe?

Don’t worry, for all is not lost: For the low low price of $1500, you can be the proud new owner of a vehicle once owned by Chris Holmes, former guitarist for the band W.A.S.P.!

Sure, W.A.S.P. may not have the cachet of those “big name” 70s and 80s metal bands like Van Halen or Motley Crue, but while Vince Neil was doing terrible things with his De Tomaso Pantera and David Lee Roth preferred 1950s customs, Chris Holmes was a man of discerning taste and knew that only one vehicle would be fitting for the W.A.S.P. lifestyle of long flowing locks, tight pants, and glittery knee-pads: The third-generation Firebird.

While most third-gen Firebirds were relegated to a slow rotting death in the late 90s at the hands of high school jocks across the nation, this particular 1987 model was treated with the respect that these wonders of the 80s deserved, as only a former rock demigod can do.

– “High performance engine” that is “probably a small block Chevy” in an engine bay that is one more mouse nest away from a legitimate fire hazard? Check
– Cheap aftermarket wooden steering wheel and an interior that looks like a hobo lived in it for several years? Check
– Actual photo of our man Chris in this tire-burning machine, looking like said hobo? Check
– Personal message/desperate good-bye signed in Sharpie on the hood? Of course

But listen, don’t let the lack of a trunk lock, terrible paint, or questionable drivability stop you from snapping up this obscure piece of music history today!

[box_light]I am selling this car for Mr. Chris Holmes. I have a signed pink slip from the State of Arizona. This car has never been registered in California and is doubtful that it will pass smog/emissions in its current state. There is no warranty, and the car will be sold as is and will not be pieced out by me.

As you can see by the photographs, this car is in need of restoration. It does start and can be driven, although I would not attempt to drive it any distance in its current condition. I do not know the size of the engine, but was told it is a small block Chevy. You would have to examine it further to verify. The frame is straight, no collisions are in record. The body has some dents and is in dire need of paint. The interior is in need of complete restoration. The car starts by turning on an electric fuel pump, then a switch starts the engine. It does sound pretty badass once it starts! There is a trunk key, but I do not believe there is a lock. The hood has to be propped up.

Obviously this car needs a bumper to bumper face lift. I am selling it for Chris, as he is now touring with a group in Europe. This is his asking price. Chris kept this car running piecemeal for many years. He said the engine is high-performance, but the potential buyer will have to examine it.

I have seen cars in worse condition turn out to be real showpieces. With some TLC, this car would finish out real nice. Chris even signed the hood for posterity!

Please email me or call if you want to take a look. I will try to answer your questions as best as I can, but I am not an expert on cars.

Thank you![/box_light]
