Pig in a poke cars

[Triple Pickle]

Seems like I see a lot of ads for cars that are what I call “pig in a poke”.
These ads have a lot of poorly taken pictures of the exterior, no pics of the underside, and in some cases no under hood or in the trunk pics.
The seller/owner proclaims little to no knowledge of the cars condition, only that hearsay has it that it ran good when parked. Yet, they want top dollar for them! Some of them might be diamonds in the rough, but, more than likely they are parts cars at best.
To me, the omission of the true condition makes me want to fear the worst.
Do you all have any examples? Let’s see them! Thanks

I love the 76-77 caddies. That’s actually what I was looking for, couldn’t find a clean one, when I ended up buying my 75 New York.

Fate stepped in I guess…
