And a frame off restoration.

Frame-off, as in nothing is attached to the frame at all...

And you expect from individuals somewhat because people write things inads without even thinking about they are putting down but if this is supposed to actually be the great restoration shop that Heather implies, then they should know better.

After reading the ?s and answers it sounds like a scam almost. Maybe I'm just confused as to what is going on with this add.  :shruggy: but she was kinda avoiding answering some of them.

This is the sad part of our hobby; people that happen upon these cars, and only see a blind profit.  It's unfortunate, as now something that should have been 8000$ tops is horribly inflated.  If it's not a scam; it'll probably sit, and sit, and sit, until some poor sap buys the thing and takes the rest of his life to try and restore it.

It's obvious the seller doesn't give 2 sh!ts, and is just in it for a quick buck.  Truely dissapointing...

It doesn't even look like a "wheels off" restoration. It is still sitting on 45 year old suspension.

Actually, I think sellers like this are a good thing.  Why?  Because their desire to make a quick buck will hopefully attract buyers who are looking to make a quick buck as well.  I'd wager that a person who is TRULY looking for a quality car or project for the long term will know better than to accept ridiculous claims and auctions like this one.  I say let the scalpers, flippers, quick-buck types fumble about with their bogus auctions; people who sincerely want a quality vehicle/project for the long term will probably know to stay away; that's the kind of people we want in our family anyway... :Twocents:

Hmm, thats a good way to look at it.

Homerr

Zero feedback seller, wants personal info.....sounds like a scammer/id theif whether there is an actual car or not.

And then in the Q/A section:

      "It belongs to a friend of mine...."

They can't even maintain the consitency of their false sales hype within the ad.

This is the typical ad that most car guys in the know read and roll their eyes at, but it only takes one sucker to sell it. Hopefully is sells for a reasonable price to a knowledgable and motivated new owner.

5 "laminated" build sheets? don't you know that lamination ruins the originality of the build sheet, you could take one, make copies of it and laminate them and noone would ever know.  I found parts of 3 build sheets in mine, only one was whole.  Wish i knew what a build sheet was when i pulled the one out of the underside of the dash and tossed it. One under the carpets, one under the back seat.
