Must be a flipper cause his daughter said it was sold. And I don't remember him having that many cars but maybe he did.

If the daughter sees this post, I would just like to add a little constructive criticism.

The ebay listing is very lacking.  May I suggest adding MANY more pictures both inside and out, from as many angles as possible (right now I wouldn't know if this car has a front grill).  Clean it up; car looks dusty and the interior is a mess.  Add a pic of the VIN tag, and the fender tag if it has one, as I'm sure knowing it's options will help it's value (such as, did this car come with V21 hood treatment, or was it added).

Not trying to knock the car in anyway in fact I think it's a great car, just trying to help so that you can get the most out of it.

Edit - Unless it's a flipper, then F them, lol

Agreed ....it does not SELL it to me....I would prob just pass that listing by unless it was a colour/ spec I was looking for.

Why the hate for flippers on here? I would consider myself a flipper (we say trader over here).....just three or five a year max. I never held a gun to anyone's head to buy a car cheaper and equally never forced anyone to buy a car I was selling that someone was looking at. So if the seller got his cash and the buyer was happy with the price...where's the problem? Its a tough economy out there and if I want a nice house and good holidays then I need to earn a little extra over my salary for life's luxuries. For me no flipping would probably mean no Charger.....However I've never traded a classic car....but if I saw one for sale at the right price and could see a profit in it...then why not. If you sold your car then saw it for sale a month later with $10k on the price....well more fool you for selling it cheap.....of course he might not sell for anywhere near the asking price. I price my cars to allow for a discount....everyone likes to feel they have a deal!

To the person listing that car....a lot of the cars I've bought cheap were from poor listings like that.......they sold to me because the poor listing quality had not attracted the REAL buyers! At the very minimum clean it. If folks see that the owner has not even bothered to clean it then what else has he been slack on....oil changes?........diff maintenance??

Flippers drive up the cost of the hobby.

Great for those selling, but it sucks for everything else the rest of the time.

If you're holding on to cars for years between 'flips' then you're not really what we are considering a flipper.  Also, I don't consider the guys that add value to a car and then want to sell it to be 'bad flippers', i.e. find a car that has been sitting for years, redo the fuel/brakes/etc., and then sell for a reasonable profit.  Note I said 'reasonable'.  It's mostly the guys that are all in for the profit and that don't really care about the cars that get some of us ticked off.

Yes I saw that too and I bet the listing will get ended before it expires and sold locally just to get relisted again later  

[smithenhiven]

I don't necessarily mind a flipper, it just seems a little, uh, what's the word, maybe 'volturous', given the circumstances.

I bet the family sold this car to one of warlocks local Mopar friends, thinking it's going to a good home to be part of that collection of other mopars, only to find it now listed on ebay.

Regardless, if it's not warlocks family selling it now, I hope they got a good price for it when they did.

The car looks like it is almost done. What else doesn't need? Doesn't look like it needs much...

[gts]

someone replaced the trunk and never finished it,lower patch panels is what it really needs,perfect floors and rails,the body work was horrible but I believe he was sick when he did it,I got a call out of the blue from his father never new either one he told me his son had passed and he had the car since about 1978,car did run on about 4 cyls,found all the pushrods on the pass side completely off,the people he had working on it  really hacked the wiring up even with a new harness,car is a solid car just have way to many,

No..it's supply and demand that drive up the cost. I have no magical ability to sell a car for more than market value so I have to buy them for less than market value to earn a coin. I'm sure warlocks family were happy with the deal with the guest posting in this thread or they would have sold to some one else. I typically sell a traded car within six weeks. Just enough time to valet it (most of the cheapest cars that the owners can't sell filthy or smoked in) and fix anything obvious or dangerous.

I have seen a couple on Moparts.  He just recently sent me pictures of his 69 Bee and she is a nice one..his red 68 Bee is also nice.

gts says that he has too many cars, but then buys more cars.
I understand the habit of buying and selling classic cars to make a few bucks. Why lie about why you buy them? I see this written all the time: :Too many projects, this one has to go".
Get some therapy then! Quit buying cars if you already have too many cars. If you are selling the car to make a profit, so what?  You don't have to make up excuses.

Who is SRT?

Looks like a Bondo mess in rear quarters, evident in the balance corners.

[gtss]

Let's see Kerny dog,maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror.im sure you never sold a car for profit,you should not be calling anyone a liar either,if you want the car buy if not don't be jealous,I make it a habit to keep my cars,however 20 or so is to much.yes it is a bad habit I make enough money during the week to support me,I do not depend on the cars for bread and butter,they are for fun,I've been playing with mopars for over 35 years so it is none of your business at all,what I buy and sell,

Was wondering why a few extra cars sneaked into the photo gallery there.

In case anyone is wondering... I accidentally deleted gts's account while blocking spammers and I'm well aware the new account "gtss" is the same person (I didn't think it kept the original postings from the old account).

Carry on.

I have too many cars too - yet I accumulate more. When you control my money you can control what I do with it. Otherwise, your opinion is worth exactly what I pay for it. Probably less.

Such a shame.   Nick had given me his personal website for the car when her registered it back on 2/22/05....was his pride & joy
