This is definitely "in there" for the worst ad ever, and as we know...it's a very competitive category! Kinda makes me want to get a wad of cash, a shaggy wig and a save the whales tee shirt and go see him....

Looks quite nice... https://yuma.craigslist.org/cto/d/yuma-1948-plymouth-coupe-deluxe-p15/7703803752.html Selling my Son 1948 Plymouth Coupe Deluxe P15 YES Driving car everything works on the car NO TRADES and NO CODES $13,800 OBO (928) two six one - 0927

Further proof that anything related to women is expensive!

It's interesting. Today, we can actually get 200mpg under certain conditions. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/healey/2013/12/07/vw-xl1-shows-how-to-get-200-mpg/3883503/

My mother's old LTD was quite wrinkly on the passenger side for just that reason.

Looks like it has possibilities, but probably not a $9k with a stuck engine. https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/cto/d/soulsbyville-1938-plymouth-sedan/7706284520.html 1938 PLYMOUTH SLANT BACK SEDAN. $9,000 BEST OFFER.

It isn't cancer victims we have a lot of....it's lawyers!

You really need to do a little heavy duty engineering on the belt anchor points. The stress on them in a collision is several thousand pounds.

No information and only one picture...too bad because these are interesting cars! Here's a better example: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1950-singer-nine-4a-roadster-2/ https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/bethel-island-1952-singer-roadster/7705220544.html# This 1952 Singer automobile is a classic. Singer competed with MG (MG-TC, MG-TD) through the early 1950s, but then left the US market. Project car, runs. Call for more information. (650) 224-4417.

That's why I spend time on this forum: interesting cars! I don't know much about Gardner, but I do remember one was used by Cannonball Baker!

I do love those disc wheels, and you can make a case that the Dodge 4 was better than the Maxwell version Chrysler used once they merged.

Could be good, but probably not at the $12K asking. "Does run" does not go with "Hasn't been started in a few years" 1922 Studebaker 4 door sedan. Neat old car. It does run but hasn’t been started for a few years. It complete as far as I can tell. $12,000 obo please call Rob at 801-645-6479 thanks

Lots of expensive packaging and freight between those engines and this car in Manahawkin, NJ.

Could be some useful items, but you'd need to have a discerning eye.... 1926 vintage Dodge Brothers parts. Fenders, doors, windshield frames, some Motor& transmission parts . Make offer, reluctant to scrap…. Must make appointment to view.

It's always interesting to see something like this on BaT because you feel like you get an actual sales price and some knowledgeable comments. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1926-franklin-model-11a-sedan/

There used to be a couple of these in the Arcane club. They were very nice and I always loved the 3=6 badge. Very interesting to me to see the differences in the setup to the 3 cylinder SAAB, knowing that the SAAB designers studied the DKW/AU design when they were just starting to think about cars. They were aircraft designers and some of them did not even have a driver's license so they needed a lot of help!

And a Continental kit!

Rarely seen...probably priced at at some multiple of what it ought to be.... (more pics in ad) https://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/d/eugene-incredibly-clean-zero-rust-well/7703262268.html t's rare when these vans that are this straight and clean come up for sale. This one is extremely nice and original. Perfect Christmas light shuttled for Family and Friends! A great around town cruiser, parts hauler, beach or surf van or a collectable to take everyone to the car shows. 1969 GMC Handi Van Custom 250 inline 6 with Hei Rare 4 speed column shift! Originally a 4 speed, now a 3 speed and have 2 crated additional transmissions. One is a 4 the other a 3. Unknown gear ratio but it cruises at freeway speeds and drives very nice. Several well thought out add ons by the original owner. Zero rust!!!! All seats and door panels in excellent un restored condition. The original headliner looks new!!! Ralley wheels are new 3 fuel tanks. One rear tank and 2 saddle tanks. With the efficiency of the inline 6, 2bbl carb 250, upgraded ignition system this van can travel. No leaks underneath, starts, runs, stops and drives really well. When you look around you will see how over maintained and meticulous the owner was. Windshield has a crack

Think how many you could fit in your garage! This price might not be all that far out of line...... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/d/san-francisco-king-midget/7705014680.html email: d4c92d02ce1a32d2ab8c1101fbdab3f9@sale.craigslist.org

Cadillac grill is a lot better than LaSalle. Guess they had to justify the relative pecking order somehow.

These have a real following and nice ones go for $12-15K. I suppose if you picked this up for $3-4K and did you own work....(depending on why it got parked)....one issue: this is a salty environment https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/morro-bay-1975-honda-civic-cvcc/7703266821.html 1975 Honda Civic CVCC 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual A/C, not working 72k miles Not currently running Been sitting for 9 years Ran when parked Clean Title Current Registration Smog Exempt 4 brand new tires $5500 or best offer (805) 441-8371

No engine pics but seems a decent driver.....I wonder how the seller came to own it... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/el-sobrante-1940-cadillac-lasalle-sedan/7704356646.html 1940 Cadillac Lasalle 52 series Touring Sedan 322 ci L-head V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring, and it frames a 100-mph sweep speedometer and gauges for water temperature, amperage, fuel level, and oil pressure.

It is garage stored and started and driven around the block once a month. Battery has been connected to a battery tender and is ready to be driven. This is a nice presentable car that can be driven as you fix the little things that would be needed to make it a daily driver. email: a5c9854b26643d9d987b7f036db5984e@sale.craigslist.org

2 Door Wagon...Seems like there is an inverse relationship between usability and desirability (more pics in ad) I'd like it a lot better in the original mint green with 3speed + OD, but it does look presentable and useable. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/d/petaluma-55-ford-ranch-wagon/7704113566.html Survivor, runs and drives great.
