eBay Find of the Day: Rolls-Royce RR4 already for sale
Click above for image gallery of this RR4 Replica
That treasure trove of appalling autodom described in the most gnarled English imaginable, otherwise known as eBay Motors, serves up today's flavorful morsel of weird and wonderful. Why wait for the upcoming Rolls-Royce RR4 when you can just throw $50K at this heavily customized Chrysler 300C? It's got the ostentatious grille, the suicide doors, the RR embroidered headrests, but most importantly, a HEMI V8 underhood. HEMI, apparently now transmuted to mean "multi-displacement system," will save you fuel as you rent the car out for the dreamy rate of $750 per day as the seller suggests. At least with a Chrysler lurking underneath all that nasty, you can be assured that repair costs will be nominal compared to the real thing.

Less than 1% of our DNA differentiates us from chimps.
Hmm...

chimps or chumps?

Ummm, no. Actually it's considerably less. Only over small areas does chimp DNA resemble human DNA hence the fallacy "we are relatives to chimps".

The stock wheels are nice in their own right, but to not replace them on this.... piece ... gah. 10 different kinds of wrong.

Why would someone want a car that pretends to be something it isn't?
This is simply junk.

The suicide doors are kinda cool. The front end, not so much, though.
It definitely needs some disc-type chrome wheels.
If they had left it as a modified 300C, it might have been tasteful, but trying to horn in on Rolls is bad form on this thing.
It would be better for them to have tried to copy the old Lincoln Continental with this than a Rolls.
Just black out the chrome over the top of the window frames, limo tint, disc wheels, smoke tinted LED tail lights, and a tuxedo black paint job, with the coach doors, and spiffed up interior (and a long-wheelbase model as a starting point, if possible)
It could be a nice tuned luxury/VIP car. But it isnt' a Roller.

Excuse me sir, but I would kindly suggest that you merely are beeing humored to the unfortunate extent of your bottom beeing vigorously removed from your body.

50K? Anyone with an IQ over 50 can tell this is a Chrysler 300 at first glance. You get something a lot nicer then some cheesy pimped out 300c for 50 grand, but to each his own i guess

All I have got to say is best of luck trying to get even part of that 50 thou out of this thing.Why do people even waste thier time creating poorly executed fakes of high end products? This is the auto equivilant to a Bolex you'd find at a flea market.....
