For the paint & body guys, these pics show why I feel this car needs to be painted....

He messaged me back saying somebody offered $6K if he'd hold it for him for 2 weeks.
Then sent another note to me from the seller that said he messaged everyone that showed interest, the car was now for sale for $6K.
Somebody was supposed to come see the car on Monday, but since the CL ad is down, he probably got the $6K he wanted.

Kinda funny that he said he was holding it for 2 weeks, then went down the list of suitors and had a looker on Mon, then ad is gone, then it's back up - all in short order.

The Monday person didn't buy it (or was a no-show), Sixpkrt viewed it and passed on it and hte seller says his $5000 (now $6000) car would sell for $10-14k if he gets it drivable? Seems like somebody's playing some games - the kinda games that make the real players stay home and the low-ballers come out of the woodwork.

Get a car drivable for $4-8k increase in sale price? If you were gonna do that, you'd do that.

So, what was the other car he (the seller) bought?

A 65 Coupe DeVille.
It's in the same garage as the Imperial now.

Hopefully somethign he knew enough about to not break of all 5 lugstuds on a wheel.

EDIT - you just beat me on that one @sixpkrt

i dunno ..... i see $10 big, plus acq. costs, to make it what i want.

glad we got expert eyes on it first.

still a nice car. hope it does well whoever gets it.

FWIW, I can overlook the BS when someone is selling (flippin) a car that I might buy. The more they talk, the more you learn how much they don't know.

The more I read your review the more I was glad I didn't bother to go look though.

My last words on this one. There is NOTHING "wrong" with this car. I am NOT dissing the seller. I still like it.

I wont be the new caretaker.

Markets, overall, sometimes, work pretty good -- when there is enough information -- at matching up peoples' interests with items that align with those interests. All that information exchange usually winds up in a fair deal.

For me, just me speaking for myself only, I don't see the probability to get this deal, at this time, on this car, to line up ..for me.

Many good things going for the car. It is imminently worth saving. I hope that's what eventually happens to it in a fair deal.
