I liked the "ran well when parked 25 years ago" line

Wow. He's gonna pay you $695 to haul that off?

Optimistic doesn't begin to describe that price.

I especially like when a seller can't even be bothered to move the trash off of the car before taking the pictures.

In reply to artur1808 :

Looks like someone's grandparent asked them to list it on "that internet thing". So no effort was made. Drivetrain and trim might be worth more than the selling price. Correct date coded carbs for some of the late 60's early 70's cars can sell for stupid money.

"Car"?

That's kind.

The car is at least good for stacking the grills of other cars against it. Remember it has a "factory installed" New Yorker nose on it, that is now about to fall off the front of the car due to all that rust. The one window is busted out, so I am certain the interior is as fine as the exterior. My guess is it will be difficult to get that thing to roll. Give it another 25 years and it will return back to the earth. Since these are not performance models, doubt there is much there to warrant $695, but could be wrong.

How does one pronounce that town? Is it "syphilis"?

I don't think I've ever seen a C Pillar rot out from the middle before. Vinyl top at one point probably.

O-hi wink

It was an attempt to poke fun at the rotten car not the town.

I mean I guess you could look at it as an easy start to a 4 door convertible conversion. I think you could probably take the roof off without even using a sawsall. 

 

 

"It was running the day it was parked over 25 years ago"

 

This might have to become my new sig
