Men buy 'worst car on Facebook Marketplace' for $3,793 only to make disturbing discovery when they open trunk

Two YouTubers in the UK bought a used 1970s Cadillac Coupe de Ville from Facebook Marketplace for a pittance.

It was cheap, but there’s a reason why this rusty car was so inexpensive.

They called it ‘the worst car on Facebook Marketplace’.

And the reason it was the worst car became clear when they opened the trunk.

This 1970s Cadillac Coupe de Ville was in horrific shape

Edwin Evans and Will Chandler, from the Top Dead Center YouTube channel, decided to buy ‘the worst car on Facebook Marketplace’ for a YouTube video.

They bought it sight unseen for £2,900 – equivalent to around $3,800.

Good content? Probably.

Good car? Not really.

The de Ville was first unveiled in the 1950s, but this American icon was never officially sold in the UK, which means this one was imported.

But it also means that whenever something goes wrong, you have to jerry-rig it to have it fixed.

It took them forever to open the hood because it was encrusted with rust, and the rust wasn’t just confined to the hood, either, it was on every available surface, from the doors to the floors.

As you’d expect, the engine was in an equally sorry state.

Next up, the pair decided to check out what was in the trunk.

In it, they found spare parts for the car, brake fluid, and a spare tire.

So far, so normal.

But then they also happened to discover a bloody bag covered in dust.

“Ergh, what’s that?” Evans asked, picking up the bag.

“That’s blood and dust.”

We can’t think of a scenario where the words ‘blood’ and ‘trunk’ sound good together in the same sentence.

There are several reasons why American cars have never really caught on in Europe – fuel economy, size, and so on – but a blood-soaked bag in the trunk isn’t usually one of them.
