2 Door Converstion Car To Look Like Escalade 100k Invested - $7000

I am selling a car that looks like a 2 door escalade. I have looked around but have not found a single other car that has this unique look. This car has been modified with over 100,000+ Dollars of parts and labor into it. Some key features are... huge list of garbage

You really have to look at the pics (and there are tons of them) to see just how crappy this 'Converstion' is.

And everyone behind you will just think why the hell does this loving tahoe have a Cadillac emblem.

The interior is at least 3-4 different colors/materials

Big shiny wheels cost a lot of money - $4k isn't too far out there. Of course, putting big shiny wheels on a Tahoe is loving stupid, even aside from "Escalade conversion" nonsense.

If you really want to boggle over "he spent WHAT?" take a look at the "custom sub box." A thousand bucks for an MDF box with holes in it is pretty hilarious. Maybe he hired an engineer to design the system so it'd sound its best in that abortion of a truck - or, more likely, the buyer is an idiot.

Also, the "passenger TV console" is $500. I could see that for a nice piece of interior trim, but it reminds me of a paper mache volcano for a third grade science fair.

It runs, but it sounds like rear end.

(Also, I didn't go through every page, but did you see that his NAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWZZ setup... just vents out the grill, and isn't hooked up to anything?)

I should probably point out that this kid's dad owns a chain of car dealerships in Western New York and Northwest Pennsylvania so they have a lot of money to kick around, and as a side effect he's a pretty big spoiled rear end in a top hat with no manners or respect.

Doesn't look like there's a passenger airbag - pre-96 or so they had a flat shelf on the dashboard, which is what looks to be holding that TV. The ones with an airbag have kind of a hump where the little tray was. The hilarious part is that apparently the space between the between the hump and the windshield was the right size and shape so that if the passenger wasn't wearing his seatbelt during an accident, his head could get wedged into the gap.

So GM had a recall and came up with an even bigger hump-piece that they would install on top of where the airbag was to plug up the gap.
