Default Treasure trove.

I just couldn't stop posting this here.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/1466405233.html

This economy sure is pulling out all kinds of collector cars into the market, but what I am mostly seeing is -
1) A lot of very good cars not selling even for ridiculously low asking prices.
2) Piece of junk for which people wants an arm and a leg.

Just venting

$10,000.00 for a 68 with the wrong engine and missing the fornt end clip.
Am I missing something here?
What makes this worth $10,000.00 ?
I love 68's and have had my 68 since 1972; it is completely restored so if anything I am prejudiced in a good way towards 68's but I don't see where this 68 is worth $10,000.00.
It will take tons of money to make it back to correct and then it will still have the wrong engine.
I must be missing something that makes this car worth 10grand,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lots of demands in this add. It reads like an direct order from the government . If that's not enough "I know the value of the car and this is a great bargain!" about sums up the mentality of the owner.

By the way where is "Bats" when we really need him?

Sorry David, but you either put 1 too many zeroes on the price, or you are Looney Tunes.

As some of you may say.. It's San Francisco

Anyway.. David's gotta be a very fair person. He/she will give the car and all the parts to the first person who shows up with 10k.

The person mentions over and over to just show up with the cash. Brings up red flags for me...


I actually looked for a smiley robbing another smiley at gunpoint, but there isnt one

It's like subliminal advertising or hypnotising......"buy my crap-pile......it's not junk.....you won't negotiate on price because this is a cream-puff......hurry......cash......cash..... .bring the cash".

The last time I heard something like that was when I was watching Star Wars........"These aren't the droids you're looking for".

I think it MUST be a typo. I think the "shim" she-David should have said "bring $1000...hurry. PS...I'm mentally handicapped, so be cautious at the door, because I drool and bite strangers." Freaky...just plain freaky.


OOOoooh.....and I thought this was a hot selling point..." this is a marine block that my husband flew by helicopter to Jacksonville Florida to have a well-known engine man rebuild for him. I have the specs somewhere but I might not be able to find them. " What the...????

I wish him/her luck with that, but WOW! I don't see $10K. Maybe there is a gold bar in the back? Diamond in the ashtray?

Wow, I never realized that expensive wire wheels like that would fit on both a vette and a bicycle.
