    As a guy who buys and sells cars often, this is the definition of a flipper giving others bad names. He literally did nothing to make that car better since owning it. Also- go fish on the price and the 6 figure thought restored.

    One too many "zeros" or maybe pictures of the wrong car...

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    "Price will be determined upon further documentation and drivability.price field was filled in to post add." I wonder if he thinks he's going to end up asking more or less than 50k?

    ok, makes a little more sense. Where can I get one amber fog light? I am thinking this might increase the value of my car substantially.

    In my opinion, the worst part of this hobby, right here. I know some will bash me and say if you can sell it for max profit go for it. I guess I just don't like greed for greed's sake. Clearly he was in the right place at the right time. Clearly, he did not purchase the car for $45,000 and wants to make a $5000 profit.

    I just don't like that phrase "It's nobody's business what I paid for it, nanana." OK. If I bought it and did not want to restore it, then I document it like he is doing, take about 35 good HD photos, and put it on ebay for maybe a 10 day run, maybe longer, set the price at my cost to start and let the market decide. Then, he is getting market value, probably a decent profit and the car moves to a place of passion, someone who wants to restore it. More likely, another hoarder that will flip it, but I will think positively.

    ebay is not an end all be all for market pricing but most of the GS / Muscle crowd would see it and have a shot at it.

    Doesn't even look like a Stage 1.

    Must have a 342 gear based off the AC pulley, 455 car , so are we all going to text him and tell he bought a $3500 GS455 that sells for 35k standing tall

    red valve covers, no stage emblems or air cleaner sticker. Like mentioned above, guy is just throwing the stage 1 discription in to create hype.
    None the less, still a cool car, rust and all.

    Much time was spent prepping the car and taking clear pictures as well as an honest description for the line of buyers that will be blowing his phone up for a chance to be the new owner of this gem. Love the pic of the mouse chewed title sitting on his pant leg while sitting in his '99 Plymouth Caravan. This guys gonna get paid!

    When he says " It'll need a frame off restoration to bring it back to 6 figures", I think he mean't it'll take 6 figures to bring it back.....

    I love the 3 fuzzy photos followed by 1 of the flat tire and concrete floor.....Lord help Us!

    You guys are cruel.....lol. I think he meant it is in stage one as far as the five stages of condition. The only other explanation would be all that white powder that is inside went partially up his nose.

    What a garbage dump in that garage.... Don't want to know what is going on all over that interior...yukk.

    Seller has the vin and can get the docs from Sloan (11B build date), that will get him out of denial about it being a factory Stage 1.
