Left Dvr side fender shows some previous repair. Top is newer. Ride it dirty or restore! Again, running and driving 59 ragtop!!

auburnseeker Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I usually do some value adding when I flip a car. Wet sand and buff, complete detail, brakes and tires. That's what I have been doing wrong. I guess i should just buy em, double the price and tell everybody how good a deal it is. Atleast they unloaded it from the trailer before taking the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 It's the same car being flipped, he doubled the price to $20K firm. New owner did no value adding at all, not even replacing the missing letter A to the tail panel, straightening the bend in the bottom of the LF fender or even attaching a permanent battery hold down to replace the rubber strap. Nobody's showing any pictures of the rust holes in the trunk floor either (and maybe rockers). Filpper did however remove the ever-popular Yosemite Sam front floor mats but my advice to prospective buyers of this "just right condition" overpriced project would be to BACK OFF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I don't see the red seat belts either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The red seat belts are more evident in the older Ebay listing pics when the car sold back on July 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
