Default Why do people do this?

Crappy pics, worse description, front end off an 80/81 (or something?), ridiculous price.

Nuff said.

Huh...obviously a "typo"

I think he meant $80.00


He hit the comma instead of the period , and his zero key stuck and put in one zero too many...yeah, that MUST be it

Uh, under options it lists ABS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they had ABS back then :lol: . It's funny how people think there car is worth so much money.

I believe the 7 is only a "check digit" It had little to nothing to do with the car.

You guys better look again, It has the rare ABS option.

And in 1969, that was a very rare option.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the ABS option in this case stands for A Brilliant Scam.......

This is no Baldwin Motion car.....and I think the guy really wants a starting price of 8k..............not 80k
