This Boombox-Shaped Bang Bus Is The Best Thing You'll See On Craigslist

When you hear the words ‘art car’ you usually think of the BMW Art Cars that were first made in the 70s. Since then, there have been another 16 art car BMWs, which makes them a bit common now...

If you want exclusivity then, you need this Retro Boombox Art Car

The car is for sale on Craigslist for just $13,500 – not much for a “24 ft long mobile boombox mutant vehicle… known as the ‘Rockbox’.”

Perhaps best of all is that it isn’t just a model Boombox, but a real life working stereo that’s been used for the last six years at rock festivals across America.

The seller said he started the project with a 1987 5.2-litre Dodge van and kept adding bits and pieces to it, until he ended up with something that could not only play music really, really loudly, but could also carry 50 people on its two floors.

Reading the ad is frankly hilarious:

He kindly asked for “serious enquiries only please! NO LOWBALLERS!”

Oh, and it’s covered in neon lights. If you’ve got $13k to spare, buy it. Think how pleased your girlfriend will be when you arrive for your date in this!
