I see a ton of bad CL ads, misspellings. The forum could have a section just for poorly written CL ads and I could put 20-25 a day in there from Site Mash. I like the ones that are minimalist. They obviously want to sell a car but don't want to sell a car, if you know what I mean. 1972 Buick GS $1 dusznt run, call dave 515-221-5015 Thanks - tells me a lot. Look, you have 2-3 paragraphs to tell us about your car and 4 photos.
I had to.... I just called and spoke with Haveair the owner.. So I ask "is that the 77 Buick Century GS " he replies "YES" I ask "is it a Stage 1" he said "YES".... OMG ou: it gets better... I ask "is it the original 455" he states "no it's a 409" me "409 ?" him "no I mean 405" me "Oh 405 V8, what make?" him "no it's a 405 V6 !!" me " L ing OL sorry sir that is not a muscle car and it's never going to be worth $30,000.00, Igotta go" some people have no clue!!!! JJJ
My 7 yr old wanted to do a yard sale last year. I told him to mark all the toys with how much he wanted for them. he wrote $105 per hotwheel car. ...about on par with this guy!
Forget this guy thinking this is a muscle car. Why do so many guys with a P.O.S. car think it's worth $30,000 when restored??? And why would the price of a restored car have anything to do with a basket case?? Even the guys with a desirable car that is valuable when restored have no clue that it will probably cost that much to make it a top dollar restored car. With the proper custom work, my car would be worth $100,000. I'll sell it to you for $10,000. You can tow it over to Foose and have him design and build a $100,000 car out of it. Be ready to write him a check for $120,000 to get it there.
