I never post cars I’m not selling personally in the classifieds, I usually put them in General discussion.Hey Steve: Not to complain but I think this add should be on C bodies for sale". This looks pretty good and I saw the car about 3 years ago. Way overpriced!
Same car?^^ He is extremely difficult to deal with....I tried about 4 years ago and he's only 2 hrs. from here!
You're a better man than I... when the price starts that stupid, I know I'll only get annoyed trying to communicate... I don't speak "flipper" or "idiot" very well...It's still for sale I'd bet on it! I've met the guy and he really thinks this car is 10 Grand.... He'll Never see it and after seeing the car and talking to him....I don't care!
Formals have been the poster child for how not to invest in a collector car since 1978 AFAIAC. A bunch were bought on early speculation as the "last full sized Chrysler"... but those owners have had to face reality (or their heirs) and sell off. Now too many ignorant folks think they've found a rare collectible, but fail to understand that the value is not keeping up with a 59 caddy... so they overpay or try to make it an investment... then they seem to doom the car when they are disappointed.I try to be reasonable when talking to people trying to flip Formals when the condition and value doesn't add up. I can tell in 2 minutes if they are a real car guy or just an idiot trying to fleece people. Some just don't know better and think they have a gold mine when it's really a $2500 car and then you have those other people.
I came across a Newport 440 Fusie near me and the guy wanted an unbelievable, obscene, amount.I've always been curious about folks that have far out ideas about stuff so in a case like this guy and his car I wonder why he thinks it is worth so much.
