My personal favorite is "good runner." I have no loving idea what that phrase is intended to convey, but every inexpensive truck sold in a rural area in the northeast includes that phrase.

It's supposed to mean original motor and/or original owner. People on craigslist don't typically know either of these things.

I'm not sure what that one translates to, but I have figured out that "unstoppable power" = needs brake and "recently painted" means recently rolled.

Well...for $500 I'd drive that. After I whacked the poo poo sticking out of the bed off.

Would have been better with the raw rust spots though.

Ninja edit: Wait......there were no 4 door trucks in that body style that I recall. I bet it's a poo poo storm under there. But it get points for west coast mirrors.

Seems like it needs a minor tweak. I don't think "no photos" can be on the same line as "stock photo". It is quite amusing though, I'm half tempted to play right now.

Yeah, I figured I'd gently caress up like that somehow, fixing it.

Rearranged a few more, as well.

Problem is, its a 90's B-body. The interior is a godamned SYMPHONY of squeaks and rattles. Particularly when driven aggressively. They're great cars, but holy gently caress the interiors are a disaster. That one presses quite a few of my buttons, though.

Nice car, but $17K? I mean, I'm sorry you spent $40k building it it, but that's because you used a Turn Key engines crate LS1. There is literally nothing else custom about the interior or exterior, though it is in very nice condition. Also, your "custom" wheels are Impala SS stock wheels with Olds decals in the center caps.

I dunno, maybe my $$ meter is broken -I'm a cheap bastard. I do love that wagon, though. They were decent even with the LT1. I would drive it every day (can't get worse gas mileage than my 4-banger XJ, and I bet it will tow and haul more...)

It is pretty obvious that it's a joke post, probably meant to annoy the poo poo out of somebody. Note that it gives the phone number in plain, no bullshit numbers and says it's ok to call anytime, day or night.

I did laugh at the "Need to sell ASAP, need money for 2014 Kiwi" gag though.

No, that B-body isn't worth $17k. They also for no loving reason used a built-up 700R4 instead of letting the ECM control a 4L60E. I also wonder why they bothered with a speed-density tune.

That's where they start to rust first. Then the doglegs eat out from the inside out as the rear wheels throw crap into the front of the wheel well. It's still got solid rockers, so I'd say if the floors are tight and solid, as well as the body mounts, then it's in the high end of the ballpark. The interior would have to be good as well.
