Oh, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn...

I didn't realize those were rotary until after they all shut down, and I found a neat data sheet that I grabbed one of the few times I got to go.
That was also long before I owned a rotary.

I drove one of those when I was young. I remember it being a huge go-kart basically. More go-kart than formula car anyway. LOL at $15k in the 70's!

Thank you,

That has to be an appraisal for insurance purposes, they couldn't possibly expect to get that.

Because otherwise, dissolving $4000 would seem foolish. Once you're a millionaire it's just "eccentric"

That was an appraisal from 1999 from a Citroen pervert concourse judge, probably to help back up stated value insurance. Upper 20's isn't unheard of for 2CVs anymore sadly if you look at bring a trailer and other auction houses for nearly perfect examples.

Seller's Description
Yes! It's free. 440-1 V8 engine. You must take it home before Monday the 29th. Bought it in Seattle 5 years ago, drove it to Texas with no problems. Clean title.

It's amazing, and it's yours. I'm making a major sacrifice due to moving to Portland in two days. It runs and drives, I drove it on 820 today! But it started misfiring as I approached home and I can't get it to even out. Need a Dodge guy to figure it out and enjoy it.

MAJOR work has been performed restoring this amazing musclevan. New floors, new AC on roof, new toilet, comes with THOUSANDS of dollars worth of headliner material, plywood, spare parts, new front coils and shocks and a new left control arm. Lots of 440 and thermoquad stuff, new water pump.

It's a treasure trove of a van but I can not trust it to get to Portland, Oregon in the next two days. Will have to junk it on Tuesday and the universe will cry a sad tear.

Please be familiar with Dodge vans!! Not for a rookie. It has served me very well.

There was a Fiero down the street from my house in Albuquerque that I used to lust after. I'd unironically drive one.

There was also an Aztek around the corner. High concentration of weird Pontiacs on that block I guess.

Writing an ad for the thing you're selling in such a way that it would turn up in a search is not something craigslist sellers are interested in.

Writing an ad for the thing your're selling in such a way that it will turn up in a search for literally anything ELSE seems to be their primary interest.

This message brought to you by the the sellers of "Cameros" who put an entire goddamned dictionary of keyword spam in the ad along with six words of actual ad text.

I actually contacted a seller who did a 4-pic walkaround, and asked, "You drive the goddamn thing from the inside, may I see what that looks like?!?" (I also wanted to count the pedals [see above]).

I can't recall whether I asked him if he had run out of film.

That's how I found my cayman, it was a lovely listing with a few mid quality exterior pictures and listed as an automatic. Got the VIN, ran a search to find out the options it had then did a few zoom calls and bought it.
