Earl B. Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) While looking around craigslist, I found the following which look interesting. None are mine and know no more that what I've read.... 1949 Riviera 2 dr coupe-- http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/5033575051.html 1954 Roadmaster 4dr sedan-- http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4982189554.html The 1949 Super no longer came up on Craigslist, so I removed it. No need to go to a blank page. Earl Edited June 4, 2015 by Earl B. (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Imperial, I well understand about that '49 Riviera.... Now, if I could just find that gold mine, it'd be mine!!! And I even found Mr.Earl that pretty '54 Roadmaster. He may say nothing, but I bet he's drooling, even he has a real beauty. You know, he doesn't want them all, just he ones he doesn't already have... hahaha......Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark49 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Dear Mr Earl,Do you have an air cleaner assembly for a 1949 series 70 roadmaster ? It seems to be unique to this year in its size.Thanks,Mark 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Oddly enough Mark renewed this thread.... And that 54 roadmaster is STILL available. $1954 according to the ad....http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/5289464886.htmlThis guy calls it a Riviera, but....

NC-car-guy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So I contacted this guy. Wow! Sounded good at first, but then I asked about the title.....Me: Your ad says clear title, that means in your name, easily transferable?Him: yesMe: ok, Ive run into a few "clear titles" that are signed wrong, or from 1970 with no trace of the last owner, etcHim: Go find another one. I will deal locally. Have good day.thanks.i dont have time for b.s. And rhetoric. my title is clear-and so is my conscience-God bless-take care.Sheesh!

JohnD1956 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 No wonder he hasn't sold it and has had to lower the price. I guess he never scammed anyone in his point of view so no one should question his integrity, regardless of all the weird things we keep hearing about just about daily.

My line is usually "Go buy THE other one." Always remember, it's not your particular question that triggers a response like that. It is those whom came before you. Like the old TV show Name That Tune, just the first few notes and you recognize the whole familiar song. The guy probably thought "binary question, binary answer." Honestly, if I had seen the clever pricing tactic I would have just laughed and said "I ain't calling this guy. I know him." I have been looking for a car for my wife and looking at ads. The ones listed for $1 or $10 with zeros missing (well, the seller doesn't count) or mileage with three zeros missing (132 instead of 132,000), hell,the last two digits 95 and 99 irritate me. Sellers, people in general, wear their personality right on the surface. They provide great entertainment on Craigslist. And they don't even know. I know I'm bad. I was trained by experience.Bernie Edited November 7, 2015 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have been looking for a car for my wife and looking at ads.BernieBernie, There's a guy trying to sell a couple of early 90's Rivieras over on the ROA forum. I know him well, and the cars are in excellent shape. I'm sure your wife would be interested in one of them. He's a nice guy, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks, she wouldn't even wear the nice (I thought) Riviera ear rings I bought here; or the Cadillac ones. We are trying to replace her much loved Infiniti SUV. She perked up on a Rainier V8. And if she will go for a car I have a couple of LaCrosse Supers and Lucerne CXS 8's lined up. If we end up with the Lucerne I can deal with the Northstar. I'll just roll up $3500 and stick it in a coffee can in the garage marked Murphy's Law-Northstar. We should be good. Probably an FX35 in the end.Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Without hearing ones TONE OF VOICE, I/we can't say for sure how the question was poised, or the response was handled. One might say, " sir, nothing personal, but I have experienced some so called clear titles that weren't really that clear, so Iv'e learned to ask in more detail." NOTHING PERSONAL. He may have been a jerk, but I would need to know more. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Tone does play a lot, which is why i generally prefer phone conversation, this was a text exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
