    Maybe the ad was a reference to sexual orientation; not that there is anything wrong with that.

    I don't know guys........think you might be being a lil harsh on the guy......I mean in all honesty that is the straightest gas flap door I have ever seen. Just sayin:Do No:

    Yehhhh this ad has all the markings of about a 3am drunk fest moment of clarity, "Maaaaaaaan, hellllll i needzz me summmm dammmmmn money son! Hey hey hey heyyyyy I got it mannnnnnn! Pull yer yer yer Pintoooo up behindzzzzz that big ollllle Buick out tharrrrrr so inzzzzz I can gitsssssss uh pictchure and we're gonna make us sommmmme dammmmn moooooonnnnee son! Hell yehhhhhhh!" (Followed by a totally missed high five and skipping the step out the trailer door into a pile of old Milwaukee empties, and dogs barking for miles away) "shhhhhhhhhh! Shh! Shh! Shhhhhh! We gots this man!"

    They probably lost consciousness before adding other traditional lines like "This mothuh rannnnnn greaaaaaat lassssssst time it wuz run!"(1978 when uncle Festus was making a beer can recycling run, which accounts for the clutter outside the trailer door!)
    The title clean? "Huh?!!! Is it cleeeean? Helllllllll yehhhh itssssss clean man! Cept fer summmm beer rings ana couple hot wang stains cleanesssssst won I everrrrr hadssssss!"

    "Ana I will tellllll u whaaaaaat, that mutha has one offfff thooooooose damn 445 v-8 stage 5 buuuuuuick enginnessssssss in that mutha! Itsssssss only like uh too speeeed er sumthin but it it it it will jump coke bottles in in in in the furrrrrrrst three gearrrrrssss!!! Hell yuh it will!!!(another missed high five).

    Yeah, I really wonder some times what runs through some people's minds when they post pics of stuff for sale on Craigslist.

    I really love the people that take CLOSEUP pics of whatever they're selling, but never an overall shot. You go to look at it only to find that whatever is a total mess, but every closeup shot is of the "good" parts of the item. This happens a lot with cars.

    At least he did put a floodlight on it. IF you look at the post, it was done at 12:12 in the morning, right after midnight. He probably ran out of beer money at midnight and decided this would be the easiest and quickest way to get some.

    with a picture like that, he should have just left a car cover on it for the photo :)

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    When you are trying to sell a car that you don't own, you have to grab any opportunity you can to get the pics, even if that means waiting 'til the owner passes out.

    I was watching a dyno video the other day.
    They were putting tie-down straps through the openings in the rims of the rear wheels :confused:

    I was watching that and thought: "What the hell are they doing, that's not good!!"
    Then I discovered that it was a FWD car :laugh:
    (I never saw a FWD car at a dyno before)

    Am, that thing will never sell with an ad like that. He forgot the all important buzz words "patina" and "rat rod".

    As a semi-professional photographer, pictures like that make me cringe. :puzzled:
