A unique car is for sale on one of the Russian classifieds websites. As the story goes the car was custom made for a famous rich person who died three months before the car was delivered to him.
In fact this was a Toyota Crown, but it is so heavily modified you can’t recognize it anymore.
The whole body is covered by Canadian buffalo leather, and inside there is Siberian weasel leather. Also sable fur is used to trim the seats. It’s being said that the sable fur is the most expensive fur in the world.
The car was named “Amulet”
According to the owner it had to have magic power to protect him. However it didn’t happen.
The price tag is 13,8 million rubles which is roughly $240,000.

Oligarch sounds like such a big deal. It’s a Russian businessman...on the level of Soros.

Now that is one very classy automobile...! /S

Swastikas are always a nice touch, though.

More money than brains. It does look better than the modern ‘art’ that fills the home of the rich and stupid.

You couldn’t park that for 30 minutes before some punk would knife the hell out of it.

Also sable fur is used to trim the seats.I'd make sure it was real sable first.
To: Fresh Wind
Wonder if there’s an alternate explanation for that pattern?

I like it. It has that early Mercury coupe vibe and has potential. The exterior needs to be all black— as smooth and mirror glossy as you can get it. And the power needs to be upgraded to American V-8. It looks like it has a Toyota turbo’d inline six in in now. Certainly a nice motor but this one needs twice or more the HP and the distinctive V8 exhaust note. The perfect place for the mods is Grease Monkey Garage in Dallas.

Furmobile. Had one, once.
