I saw this one on FB, and I think this is the most delusional of all Craigslist Finds.

This thing wins the delusional CL thread
I was about to write a different comment until I re-read the ad and realized it was $500,000 not $50,000 like I originally thought, which is also insane.
What. The. berkeley.
Thread over.
You couldn't pay me $500k to come take that POS off your hands look at my postings on other threads about these cars to know how horrible they are! This guy could pay me $500k to come kick whoever would take this as a serious ad in the balls for the same outcome as taking owner ship of the car!
And 70k miles. It would be one thing if it were a zero mile example. Still not justification, but at least a better story.
1969 MGB, needs floorboards and body work.
$1000 is fair, but "Will trade for 240Z/260Z/280Z" is what gets this to delusional range. Severely rusted out nonrunning least-desirable 260z were going for $2k fifteen years ago.

Hard to find
Seller says hard to find, there's a reason for that. However, there were 6 other Vegas in the CL before his, not so hard to find.

Wow ... if it's that rusty in Texas ....
Overpriced 3000GT Part Deux (also from Detroit)
With the same description as the red one and the same seller.
He had two of these "super rare" cars?
In reply to Grtechguy:
What the hell?? Maybe this guy has been sitting on these things forever and thinks they've appreciated 500%?
Dunno... Address on the listings comes back as a Dr's Office.
I do like the car in black though.
Not a craigslist ad, and since it is bidding, I guess it reflects the actual value, but that is a hell of a lot of money for an inop flood car.

In reply to Grtechguy:
Yeah, I saw that. Strange, the black one does look good.
In reply to Brett_Murphy:
Never used copart before but the status of bid says never bid, which I assume no one is touching that thing at $50K. That sure is a lot of damn money for that, I know it's half off MSRP but that would scare the hell out of me.
Bid status is your bid status, if I recall correctly.

Those AMG G-wagens are about 225K new. We also know those amg engines list for about 48k. It's a lot, but I can kinda see it.
Older GMC dump truck - $1200
Hmmm... I wonder what it looks like. Could be an older truck used on a farm or something?
NOPE. Just a pile of scrap that doesn't include the scrap on top.
