That sales technique always brings people running up your driveway with fists full of hundred dollar bills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) The interior is far from original and those are later hubcaps. I wonder if the trunk closes all the way. The general rule of thumb is if there's no price posted, it's way too high so people move on and check out the thousands of other vehicle listings that contain a number of appropriate pictures and have asking prices posted right in the ad.

Probably explains why the first sale fell through - buyer shows up and sees mileage - original listing was by a friend - never a great sign...

The 55er Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Somebody fixed this car up to suit themselves, can't really use the word "restored" in the description with all that's incorrect, interior already mentioned, trunk should have a gray mat and not a red carpet, jack is for picture purposes only, it's for something later and will not lift the car. Underhood detailing paint scheme is not correct either, inner fenders, rad support & forward should be black for example and entire firewall should be all white. Car is an eyecatcher however with those colors and it might appeal to someone that doesn't care about authenticity but that's still an optimistic price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
