Interesting. Offers starting at $34k, yet there are no pictures, there have clearly been a non-stock modification or two which might not increase the value...

It sounds interesting....

To the seller:
Any car of this age / vintage, not to mention the so called history... NEEDS PICTURES!
Please...

I get so frustrated when people sell high priced cars and no pictures. I honestly dont even bother with the ad if there are no pictures.

When I was in the market for a house and the seller had no flyer out front with pictures, I moved on.

Marketing rule #1, have some darn pictures.

For $34K, let the moths out of your wallet and get a COA to substantiate the "probally and believe to be". Maybe with enough inquires, he'll post some shots.

This car has been listed before.

I called trying to get pictures and always got a answering machine. I left my number and got a call back. I missed the call and it went to my voice mail, message was" If your calling about the car call back"

Never got through, never got any pictures.


Not a very motivated seller...

Unfortunately a Craiglist common factor.

However, I bought a car 6 Months ago and SOLD 1 today via Craiglist with absolutely no problems or hassles. I'm thinking I'm Lucky

Enough crabbing. Car for sale, not a place for you to vent your pet peeves. Get over it and click on to something else.

You are, when I listed my 911 on there, I had some girl send me a reply saying that for less than a typical date, I could have a "Happy Ending" but not quite those terms.. That is one reason I don't include a phone number..

I'm quite appalled you didn't pull out the Classic - Any Trades?

I didn't even respond, didn't want here having my e-mail addy//

Anyone ever get pictures of this car???

I used to have a /6 with EXACTLY as described..."Sail panel scoops with air ducts to intake"

Mine had flared fenders though.

I gotta dig up those pictures and scan them, nothing was digital back then.
