Thread for Craigslist morons

Just speculating... I'd bet he/someone paid $1500 for the RV, at least another $500 to tow it home... probably $1000 throwing parts at it to try to get it to run... pulled the engine and paid $300 for the dumpster the Styrofoam and paneling body went into (or just abandoned the thing if not on his property). Another $1000 on sillyass headers, chinese chrome and wallyworld paint...

Nobody has heard this run, and there will be drama when viewing about why he can't start it... One good possibility is the "starter went bad" as the engine is locked up and won't even turn (new gaskets make this almost make sense). Now he's trying to match the price of the most expense HP engine he could find, or he's added up the receipts he could find and figures it must be worth that in parts alone...

Even when scrap prices are high, nobody wants an old RV... if you look hard enough, you can get someone to give it to you (non-running) if you take the whole thing.
I actually sent him a text and let him know a more realistic price range (still more than I'd pay for a pig wearing lipstick). New gaskets and detailed? Also told him the trans won't work in anything other than an rv. He was pretty cool about the whole thing, joked about the trans not fitting when he would have gotten around to putting it in a '40 Plymouth.

You could save $400 and buy the car and engine.

I want $30,000...

1970 Dodge Charger 500

I have a 1970 Dodge Charger 500 for sale. Its in non-op condition and needs work both body and mechanical to get it back into driving condition.

It has the original 383 engine with a 727 Torqueflite transmission. Currently its painted black with a black vinyl top. Pretty good interior just need to put a carpet in.

Unfortunately, the car was involved in a accident .. there is front end damage on the drive side..
(but I have most of the parts to replace the damage)

These are really scarce classic cars so a knowledgeable car enthusiast knows its worth...

Asking for $30,000 or Best Offer..

1973 440 ci mopar engine

View attachment 187021

$2800

1973 440ci mopar engine. I was told it came out of a motor home and had 45,000 miles on it. I was told it was the last year of the steel crank. I detailed the engine and put new gaskets in it. It is on a test stand and you can hear it run. Runs great. Also included is the auto trannny. Took the pan off and the fluid was nice and clean. New gaskets and fluid in the tranny. Call Jim

:wtf: @cantflip, this is normal in Florida?
That would look nice in Big Red.
 
Au contraire, you moron...
I hope he replies to my email I sent. He must think he has the same thing as a '69 Charger 500. Let's see, they only made 500 of them, right? No, 27,000+ in '70 there pal. Just a trim package, and over half of the 1970 MY Charger were 500's?
