A very nice ad. He has the model staged classy in the pictures she is in. My only complaints are as follows:

1-Having the model sit on the car. That's a no-no. You can get away with a lean if she is wearing something soft but that's about it IMHO. And I would have had two of her in the car...one shot in each seat with the door open and a 3rd with the drivers door closed but her resting her arms on the door.

2-Some of the chassis pictures are too blurry and should have been retaken.

Again, just my 2 cents. He did a find job representing the car in a professional and classy fashion.

BTW that's a beauty of a '70. Love that color.

Later,

Lee

Good points, And not a bad price either if an inspection did not turn up anything too major.

I was hoping to see her lieing under the car in the frame shots...

When I saw the model I guessed it would be in Florida... I think this seller has had a series of similarly staged ads...

I was thinking the same thing. If it is as solid as billed and with a quality new paint job on it that's a smart price.

Hi,
I agree.
Unless there's a 'surprise' hiding somewhere it seems like a nice car for that amount of money.
Regards,
Alan

I disagree. Having a pretty girl in the pictures doesn't help show off the car or overcome the shortcomings of the ad. Most of the pictures are poorly lit, and/or in partial shadows which doesn't give a good view of the car. There are so many pictures this partially makes up for the poor quality of them but I would rate this ad "fair" at best.

Why would you even upload the pic of the model directly in the shadow of a tree/pole?

Dunno...that does seem like quite a bit of car for $20k.

I'd prefer a stick for that price, but there is a tremendous amount of originality oozing off that car. Cold AC to boot. Rubber looks good.

I also saw that ad. The ONLY thing that I remember is the girl. She could have been selling a Sherman tank for all I know.

Looks like a very nice Vette. Base motor/auto is the only negative but still appears to be a nice car for the money. Nice Babe too

Her weight distribution is all on the front end. Never get any traction at the right time.
