Default '79 on eBay

If anyone is looking for a '79, this one on eBay looks like a good option. I don't know anything about the car, other than what is in their ad and I have no affiliation with them. The eBay item # is: 322482730061. I am curious what others think.

$14900 for a 79 that needs paint is not much of a deal.

Ad states that two tone paint wasn't available in 79, but that this paint job was a dealer installed option...right

Then ad goes on to say it's original paint....in driver condition.

After reading that, I wouldn't believe anything the ad says

As an aside, that paint look is hideous, but that's just my opinion

You're hyper critical. I'm not sure what car you're looking at but the paint on the one I saw is in very good condition with only very minor issues - it certainly doesn't need paint. The cloth seats and door panels are pretty rare and in my opinion very desirable. Overall the car is in outstanding condition and is reasonably priced.

I don't think he was saying it needed paint because of the condition:

And I have to agree:

I would have a hard time buying from a dishonest seller. who knows what else the seller is covering up or lying about.

www.sevenhillsmotorcars.com has been around for a number of years and seems to move good looking/working C-3s on a regular basis. Over 7 years ago when I was looking for my first C-3, I called the owner about one of them. He actually talked me out of that particular one intentionally, as it must have not been up to his standards (maybe still needed work at that time).

If one is interested in this one, start by giving him a call. See if he'll show documentary proof of the two-tone (dealer option) paint, etc. It appears low miles, find documentation of that as well, etc., etc.

The hunt is always an adventure with these cars.
