Make sure you have your eyes open on this one. I looked at this car, it’s the one that has the cracked front strut on the driver side and lots of bubbling on the door jams and top of the door strikers.
It has more damage than the adddisclosures, and may or may not have a valid title because when I was last involved in the cellar didn’t have a pink slip and the registered owner died in 2015. Inland empire craigslist 914 |

'No pan or tub damage other than what you can see'. The AC has been skillfully ignored. $6.1k POS.

There’s damage upfront that was also ignored, there’s buckling.

'It has a salvage title but no one will know, if you don't tell them!!'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) 2 exclamation points. Titling out of state for a year and bringing it back after is a swell plan. A grifters delight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I did not cover up any thing, as you can tell nothing was hurt except the head light housing and hood. For the little dent the car was salvaged.
NO TUB OR PAN DAMAGE OTHER THAN WHAT YOU SEE. JUST HEAD LIGHT, HOOD DOESN'T ANY BONDO. DO LET IT STOP YOU FROM OWNING A CLASSIC. Register out out state for 1 year bring back with clean title. Suggesting "washing a title" is all I needed to see. |

When dealing with cars this old, it really is on the buyer to fully vet the car and inspect it front to rear, top to bottom. We all know "flippers" are out there seeking to take advantage where they find an opening. I am glad the World exists to hopefully help educate, alert and call-out questionable items/cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Amazingly, and I am shaking my head as I write this, last week I was speaking with a veteran LEO who has a considerable car collection. I showed him some pictures of my Six in the body/chassis restoration phase and then with color on it as it sits now. His comments were, "I would have just found a clean chassis and swapped in your Six VIN. No one would know and you would have saved a ton of money." I politely told him that was fraud and not something I would ever consider. I explained the reason we so painstakingly documented my entire build, warts and all, to the degree we have, was to show beyond a shadow of a doubt, my Six is real and not a VIN swapped fraud. My opinion of this LEO, whom I have know for almost 20 years, dropped considerably after that conversation and has caused me to question the authenticity of a lot of the cars he has, which are all collectable. So it just goes to show you, anyone can perpetrate fraud of this type. Buyer beware. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Inland empire craigslist 914 I hope that driving with a cracked front strut is not dangerous although it seems like it would. I hope you pointed this out to him and he discloses this to the next buyer. |

It is the right side, looks like a hard curb hit and the Strutt is way out of position and I am dubious is can be aligned properly without lots of replacement parts.
It did occur to me that given all the inaccuracies it might be worth us flagging the ad on craigslist to try to prevent someone from getting taken advantage of. |

Rob at DC Auto told me 95% of the 911's get stuffed on the right side. He's seen 100's. Probably the same with 914's.

Seller pulled the original ad, but it was just relisted. I flagged it and you may wish to do the same

Seller updated the ad with more fabrications, somewhat amusing to read actually.

Craigslist has always been the wild west for buying and selling. It's up to buyer to do their homework no matter what the ad says. It's always cheaper to take the time to drive (or fly) and inspect in person rather than buy sight unseen.

My parts car was advertised “fully restored”.
Unfortunately, all they did was waste a lot of good RD metal. Attached image(s) |
