No, this is not one of the extra vehicles from the set of the new Mad Max movie. In fact, it is a…it WAS a 1995 Ford Taurus that was just minding its own business, driving along, taking people around in their daily routine until the current owner bought it and decided to make it into a custom roadster. We say custom roadster because if we called it what we really think it is, we’d be banned from the internet and probably jailed. Pat McIntyre sent us this listing and while we’re not really sure that anyone will be mourning the death and disfigurement of a 1995 Ford Taurus, we do think that some office trash cans will be converted into makeshift puke buckets when you start seeing the photos here. Call us crazy, but in the one photo of the custom interior pieces, doesn’t that look like some sort of giant G-String on the ground? What the hell IS that?!
We’re not going to nit-pick the car because if we did, the story would be three volumes longer than the Old Testament, but suffice it to say that this is the ONLY one of these on Earth (thankfully) and that you will be the center of attention wherever you go. Depending on your mood, style, and demeanor, that could be a good or a bad thing. If say, you are a subscriber to the philosophy, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” this is the car for you. If you are a subscriber to the theory that, “I want to attract the ladies,” run from this car like your hair is on fire and it is full of African killer bees with six inch stingers filled with Ebola virus.
Here’s the text of the ad because we can’t do any better than it does (oh and don’t even try to scam this guy, he’s hip to that plan) :
I’m partng ways with my completely custom ’95 Taurus convertible project. I’ve had this car for a long time but one thing I don’t seem to have is time to finish it. It has the typical almost bullet proof 3.0 motor in it and this car DOES run and drive although I wouldnt recommend it on the tires currently on the car. It’ll drive up on your trailer just fine though.
The underside is reinforced to keep the car from folding up with the top now gone. The doors still open from the inside. Installed is a dashboard from a 2000 Mustang GT convertible with a wired up and functional dash cluster. The steering wheel has an LCD monitor installed in it. The rear has LED lights hidden behind the fiberglass. The headlights are also custom.
Also included with the car is a bunch of interior parts to complete the car and the driver side skirting. Also I saved the original guage cluster to verify the car only has 65k on it. Clear title in my hand.
Lastly, please don’t bother me with the ‘I’ll send you a check for the car and you pay my mover’ scam.

I’am so glad the doors still open from the inside. Are there holes in the floor to wash the vomit out? He’s worried about being scammed…go figure.
Creampuff!
“It has the typical almost bullet proof 3.0 motor in it”
LOL!
Not the first thing I wanted to see waking up this morning. EEECH.
It probably looked somewhat better in his own head than what he was able to translate into fiberglass.
What really has me puzzled – how on earth did he get a 2000 Mustang dash (which was controlled by the ECU) to work with a car that had the dash running its own separate sensors?
Who says it works?
The seller claims it works. Which makes me wonder if:
1.The seller is lying.
2.The ’95 ECU, although it wasn’t meant to control gauges, happened to have an output that put out the data stream the dash was expecting.
3. We’re dealing with some type of mad genius here.
As a bodyman, he makes an excellent drywaller:):)
Some people take strange roads in life. This guy may have missed the dead end sign. Caput!,
the car from Robocop…the 6000 SUX
I’d like to be positive . . . but this one hits all the wrong notes.
FWD? Check
Piddlin’ V6? Check
Unfinished? Check
Flex-inducing top removal? Check
Too much Bondo? Check and double Check
Poorly-executed Euro-trash restyling? Check writ large
Violates virtually all known rules of artistic proportion? Zoo wee mama!
~ $350 is for scrap value, so I’m wondering what the other $250 would be buying . . . .
“only driven by a shop vac to church on Sundays”.
‘Love the cattywampus rear license plate mount angle!
Is the shovel included as part of any deal?
Maybe someone should run those hand and finger prints through the N.C.I.C. as there may be a serial fiber-glass thrasher involved with the Taurus.
He must have been high on DRUGS! It’s hidious
The seller should have his tools taken from him and this “car” should be killed with fire
Does the shop vac come with it? Sweetens the deal. …
Read my mind.
Well, um, the hood seems to have a nice shine to it…. OK, that’s it. The only non-negative thing I can say.
Breaking Bad inspired?
This guy and the guy that built that S-10starossamaro should get together and open a shop. Maybe even have a “Reality” show.
Ahh, I see that that the RingBrothers have debuted their latest creation….
to be fair,i think the rear view mirror could be saved—-and the battery looked pretty sweet………i wouldn’t trust the shop vac,though—god only knows what kind of cooties it picked up from that thing…….
the powder coated engine bay pieces really enhance the vibe…
Stay calm, its a fondant cake car that someone posted on pinterest! lol!!
Well , if the shop vac and new battery come with it, that gotta be $150.00 right there, and another $ 100.00 in red crushed velvet,and probably $200.00 or $300.00 bucks in Bondo and fiberglass plus if the engine runs you could probably get another $200.00 bucks for it, so I guess $600.00 bucks wouldn’t be out of line……Good Grief Charlie Brown, what were you thinking?
Holy Hannah, This is why you stay in school and off drugs. I think we just found the new D.A.R.E car kids
Doesn’t have the TIME to finish? Funny my guess would have been skill or maybe eyes that he is missing.
If it was truly priced to sell he would be asking a buck for it.
