Loony Labor Day: 1989 Geo Metro Box Truck
This next Loony Labor Day feature is a classic combination of econobox utility and actual box shaped boxiness. It offers a promise of utility combined with practicality that can only be offered by a custom built in the back rooms of America’s car customization scene. This isn’t a factory built custom or even a Pimp My Ride classic…this is something built like a pair of Levis ripped in a roller skating accident or a screwdriver with a busted tip to form a perfect awl for poking things. It was no accident that this was created by accident. Find this 1989 Geo Metro Box Truck offered for $4,500 in Hayward, CA via craigslist.

This is a custom built 1989 Chevy Geo Metro, runs great, gets 25-30 mpg, has 90K miles, $15,000 invested in time and materials, real head-turner. This car is ideal for marketing your business or as a delivery vehicle. Custom built body and custom upholstery, removable shelf divider in rear, interior safety roll bar. I took this car to the Good Guy’s car show one year and got a standing ovation just driving through! Was $5,500, now $4500 OBO

Might as well get a Fourgonnette or an Acadiane.
I can imagine the crowd at goodguys standing and yelling, but not anything in the ovation sense of standing and yelling.
Just the thing for chauffeuring my artisanal hand-cut marshmallows to the farmer’s market.
This one appeared here almost 3 years ago with the same photos. The seller needs to find a new approach.

Glad to see the market for complete shite is still buoyant.
Is the “Fear This” decal on the back a warning about the build quality?
