It Came From eBay Hell: 1998 Mauck Executive



If you hit the jump, you’ll find a short clip from the 1977 cheesefest Supervan, where our heroes are being chased by the police. The titular van was built by the self-anointed King of the Kustomizers George Barris, who also has a cameo in this mess. And that’s all I have to say about this. It was the funkadelic 1970s and Georgie had to earn his keep with Mrs. Barris. Now take a look at this one-of-a-kind 1998 Mauck Executive found on eBay. From BC Benjamin Auto Sales in Great Neck, NY comes the Son of Supervan: the Mauck Executive.
Custom built in 1998 for somebody with way too much disposable income (my money’s on Donald Trump), the Mauck spent its 25,000 plus miles being exclusively chauffeur driven. So, what does the seller have to say about this mightiest of limousines?
“Odds are you have never seen anything like this vehicle before and probably never will again.”
I’d say. The Mauck has gull-wing doors, a wet bar, a bathroom, a retractable rooftop table and a shopping centre’s worth of electronics and appliances. I’m talking fridge/freezer, microwave, AM/FM and satellite radio, CD, DVD, GPS, an Alpine sound system and a 22-inch LCD monitor.
Add to that a leather-and-marble coachbulit interior, rear parking sensors, an air horn and upgraded everything: brakes, engine, transmission and suspension.
The seller claims some US$882,000 (€624,027) was spent on this luxury behemoth, though at the moment this article was written, the highest bid on eBay was a paltry US$25,000 (€17,688).
Check out our full gallery below and bask in the overtop ridiculous of it all. You can just imagine Paris Hilton cruising around in the back of this. I know I can. Oh, and don’t forget to comment!

This is what a New BMW 1 M Coupe Looks Like after a Heavy Fender Bender

BMW M1 Seen On www.coolpicturegallery.us
The brand-new BMW 1 M Coupe hasn’t been around from more than a few months, but we already have the first recorded accident of which we know about.

The unlucky owner of the car, who is from South Korea, posted these photos of the mishap over at the BMW 1Addicts forum. He said that he was the first customer to receive one of the 80 BMW 1 M Coupes scheduled to arrive in the South Korean market.

He also claims that the accident occurred after another car ran through a red light and crashed into his BMW. Take a look at the car before and after the accident in our gallery after the break.

It Came from eBay Hell: The “Camaro or Her” Edition

Chevrolet Camaro Seen On www.coolpicturegallery.us
In a very different “It Came from eBay Hell” piece than what you are normally used to seeing on Coolpictures, we bring you the best automotive advert that you’re going to read today on the popular online marketplace.

While we can’t verify the story behind the “Her or the Car?” edition, the owner of this 2010 Chevrolet Camaro claims to be selling his beloved muscle car due to a divorce. But let’s not take the spotlight away from him.

Enjoy the seller’s humorous narrative and comparo on the specifications of the Camaro SS and his…soon to be ex-wife after the break.

eBay Seller’s Description:


HER or the CAR?

Your Choice...

But The Car is Better Looking & A Whole Lot Cheaper!

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

“As much as this car & my wife are loved and will be missed. I am forced to part with both, So my loss is your gain here. The car has less than 10,000 miles on it, her- a little more-just saying. The car has never seen snow, she can be as cold as ice. The car was garage stored when not in use, she is making me move out to the garage. This car has extraordinary acceleration with the 6.2L V8, superior handling, excellent value, head-turning looks, unique interior design, great fuel economy, and a throaty boasting exhaust, which beats a bitchy mouth any day.
