Saw this on my local Craigslist

15 is very young for trying to understand the values of these cars and what is realistic to hope for.  And broke teenagers don't stay broke teenagers forever.

If he really appreciated the car he thinks he wants he would have more knowledge on wing cars & know how stupid his request is.
The kid is clueless & embarrassing himself.

I don't think so at all.  More like a reminder of what some of us younger guys used to be like.  Besides, we don't know what his financial situation is.  Take a drive by the high school and see what the kids are driving now a days.  Amongst all the crap, are some pretty high dollar cars.

I also doubt that he's clueless.  Knowing myself at that age, I was looking up everything Charger when I had access to the internet or to the public library.  (Still am )  I'm sure he's been looking at the auction ads and listings on Hemmings.  Here's to him   since he knows what a wing car is, and more power to him for wanting one.  I hope he succeeds in getting one.

The Fast and Furious franchise with their millions of dollar marketing budget, know exactly what they are doing.
This is why in every F&F movie the leading car has always been a muscle car.

The youth today, dig these cars!

Unlike classic cars, muscle cars are here to stay!

I know when I was 14 and 15 poring through the Auto Trader I clung desperately to the fantasy that sooner or later I'd strike one of these guys who would sell me their car on payments.  No down payment, no job but lots of sincerity and I really believed the possibility could exist.  Face it, part of you is still a child at that age.

[F8-4life]

You guys are way to nice.

Yes 15 is young but still he is not even remotely in this world, at 15 you are old enough know better. True interest/passsion comes with knowledge too.
You can drive at 16, maybe if he wanted a rat trap el camino or camaro it would be a respectable realistic request...and he could work his way up to a mopar in time.
But he jumped to a 6 figure wing car? Most kids can't even afford gas let alone for a 440.
The kid wants the best just for posting a lousy craigslist ad. That's not even trying,  that's a waste of internet space.

[Ghoste]

Maybe so.  But he certainly doesn't have the market cornered on internet waste and no one has actually suffered for it so no harm no foul I guess.

[6PakBee]

Can't blame a guy for trying I guess....


"im looking for a 1969/1970 Plymouth Superbird or Dodge Daytona. i cant afford anything fancy since im 15. i would prefer a fixer upper. if you have anything send me an email."

Call me a cynical old pessimist but if the author of that ad is 15 I'll kiss someone's posterior.  Ranks right up there with "I'm buying it for my kid, he's always wanted one, and we don't have a lot of money........" and then you see it on eBay for $10K more.

[ACUDANUT]

 I agree, and I e-mailed him too.  He basically told me to kiss off.

[Baldwinvette77]

I agree, and I e-mailed him too.  He basically told me to kiss off.

What did ya say? 

[stripedelete]

really?

[GeneralLeeTESH]

I believe in letting my 14 year ol :2thumbs:d and 16 year old boys learn to drive in an old hot rod-PERIOD  !  The LOOK on his face is PRICELESS !!! (kinda like the first look at a National Geographic for me when I was his age !)

[Old Moparz]

I agree, and I e-mailed him too.  He basically told me to kiss off.

What did ya say? 

If it's anything like his posts on here I'm surprised the kid was as polite to him as he was.   

[1974dodgecharger]

I emailed him and showed him my 68 that he can have for 500 dollars his response was,

"Thats a POS compared to a daytona car dont bother me unless you have a daytona'

[Tim L]

Thats a POS compared to a daytona car dont bother me unless you have a daytona

What a rude little prick, sounds like he needs a good kick in the arse.

[1974dodgecharger]

in his defense on my end I was joking with him, but I dont think he knew that I was joking since seriously this guy wants a daytona that runs and drives etc..very cheaply.

[Ghoste]

Hmm, the response does make you wonder what the truth is at the other end.

[ACUDANUT]

 It's a older guy, playing at our hearts as a young kid...It's a ploy to open our hearts and our wallet.
