What a sad sad day for that car. That interior is a complete disaster.

Please overlook the condition of the interior and focus on the fact that the car was "PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY THE MOVIE STAR JAMES BROLIN"

I'm thinking that Mr. Brolin was a bit lackadaisical when it came to routine maintenance.

Wow.

Bad enough the fact it looks like it was pulled from a river but James Brolin?!? Come on! That interior has more potential than Brolin ever had!

Hey, I like James Brolin.
Well, not enough to buy that heap.

Now, if Steve McQueen or Paul Newman had owned it....
