Did Lakeland Lash Sell Out or Change Names - Stan???

[saforwardlook]

Noticed a couple cars for sale on ebay that are interesting from a dealer in Florida. The format and quality of cars remind me of Stan's "buddy".

1961 Dodge Dart PHOENIX SPORT COUPE - 78K MILES | eBay

And another noteworthy one for this forums kind of likes and one for Doc to consider potentially:

1976 Mercury Grand Marquis COUPE - MINT - 56K MILES | eBay

The spark plug accessibility on this Mercury is a dream compared to our B engines. Seems like a quality car.

Yes, Steve, I can assure you if it's located in Lakeland, Florida, the pics are over saturated, and the description is too good to be true, it's my buddy Lakeland Lash.
He uses many LLCs and different names for all the obvious reasons.

Gosh, I couldn't disagree more. Its the front that is a beautiful sight to behold and the rear tail lights that are an abomination. I would much rather have a Polara than a Dart.

My friend just sold this to someone in Napa CA.

Where was the Phoenix trim-wise in the lineup?

I wouldn’t want to be the patient if that was the case

 

[mr. fix it]

And as I read this thread I was thinking how fugly the front grill work is and the tail lights were quite stylish

To each his own

That Dart front end makes a confused facial expression that looks like:

He's constantly on the road hitting every auction, both large and small. He pays top dollar and then automatically doubles, yes doubles, the price.
His will typically buy a 75-hundred car at its full market value and advertise it for 17k often accepting around 14k. Granted, he has his road expenses, some minor repairs to do, and very extensive detailing.

Krylon and Armorall is cheap when bought by the truckload.

I see a restomod 1971 Plymouth Cuda on the MJC Classic cars website advertised for $189,500.

I prefer the Polara over the Dart, too but it looks fantastic in this colour combination

I would guess on him tripling the price and settling above double, but I think you've summed up the business model pretty accurately. None of which would be as bad if they actually made sure the cars were in good condition, other than surface appearance...

I would imagine that he has a substantial amount of vehicles going overseas too.
