Anyway, here's a link to the current (almost the same) ad. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/menlo-park-1940-chevy-master-85/7629958184.html email: b7830d94c8a83401b82ae6315e6ff465@sale.craigslist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60s GM Fan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 These are fun cars but I was able to pick one of these up for 14k back in 2015 fully restored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think the ship has sailed on this guys car. Holding out for that one buyer who will over pay for this car is not worth it. The seller should drop the price and get it sold or keep it and continue to enjoy it. Monkeying around 20 grand for this long seems a bit ridiculous to me!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pont 46 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I agree this ship has sailed, tired of seeing this for sale on Craigslist in sf bay area, soon he will raise the price to 25 k for the added aged "patina" Just pass it on to a person that can enjoy it for 12k and move on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBob Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 How long has this car been for sale? The seller seems determined to recoup his investment and then some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
