keykey posted:Not Craigslist but this ad has been in Auto Weekly magazine for the last few months at the same OMG CLASSIC WOODY AMERICANA!!!1!! price. Karpower doesn't go to 88, but here's the fair market value of the next year newer with side by side comparison, he's only wanting about 24k over its actual value. Only 58k miles which means everything has been magically frozen in time for the last 21 years! Did that thing even command $26,000 when it was brand new??

Not Craigslist, but still a local car ad... http://secure.adpay.com/clicknbuy.aspx?p=2016&adid=ORE4282338 quote:Im selling a 97 coupe. The body has 60,000 miles and the drivetrain has around 15,000 miles on it. The car started out as my company car. I bought it from them and did all the modifications. the car has 2 registered owners but i have been the only person who ever drove the car. The car is perfect working condition. The pictures look good. But $5800 for a 97 Corvette? What the hell did he do to it? What company has Corvette company cars??

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/1692872430.htmlquote:I have a 1978 Datsun 280z that I found abandoned in a barn 5 years ago. Over the last 5 years I have taken the engine out and replaced all the gaskets, put a new head on it, new air flow meter, a 4 into 1 header with new black cat exhaust system all the way back, removed the fuel tank and had it hot tanked and recoated inside, replaced the fuel pump and all new injectors, new radiator, all new hoses, replaced all the brake pads,turned the rotors and drums, and put new aluminum wheels with new tires. The interior is all original and in very nice condition. The odometer on the car shows 99,000 miles. I stripped the body to bare metal, took out all dents and painted the car black/clearcoat. I put in $2000 worth of new sound system. The car needs to be re-titled. I have taken it through a State Patrol inspection and have the documentation for that. Just needs to be appraised and then can be re-titled. I have over $7000 into this car but my house now has some major problems that I need to deal with and can't spend any more time or money on it. I will try to get some pics up soon. If interested e-mail me. Would it be tremendously dickish to ask if he'd keep the sound system and knock off ~$2000?

My dad had an old black custom van when I was a kid. Years later (last year) I was going through some boxes he'd left behind after the divorce, and stumbled onto a box full of magazines about vans from the 70s. It kinda blew my mind a little that enough people were into doing things with vans that there was a whole professionally-published magazine about it.

mod sassinator posted:Isn't 1980 one of the worst years for a 'vette though? The engine was so bogged down by emissions I don't think it made more than 150hp. Add to that the weight of a terrible bodykit and that thing probably has its doors blown off by a Mazda3. Not quite. Around 1975 is where it bottomed out at around 150. By 1980 I think they were making closer to 190 or even getting close to 200. But any of the pre-smog and pre-unleaded Corvettes will command a significant premium.

I got your Craigslist Gold right here...quote:http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/1864618582.html When I first saw the pictures I thought the front bumper had a bra over it. Nope. Front bumper cover is missing and looks like it got broken off. ("It had a crack so we took it off. We can get a new one." Uh huh.) Lots of deep dings and scratches, too. Most of the exposed metal I saw had some rust on it; I only imagine what the frame was like. They had to use a portable jump-starter to get it going. Engine sounded beautiful. Turn signals, tachometer, outside drivers door handle were all busted. Driver's seat in poo poo shape. They sent me on a test drive (I had no intention of buying it going in, and less so after the initial impression) and the fucker died on me at the first light I came to. Turned the key to restart and nothing, not even a click. That was a fun experience. But I learned that I fit in a C3!

Just parked on the street corner at a high visibility intersection. We were having beers and I told him I thought he was on glue and he'd be lucky to get anywhere near $10 for it. Max. Seems like the old Z cars have shot up in price too. I remember just a few years ago it seemed like there was never one above $3000 on Craigslist, nowadays they keep getting put up for $4, $5, hell even $8000. Some guy recently put one up for $2500 and it was gone in a day.

Is this gold? I don't know Porsches. :/ At least he posts a good ad. I hate the "car for sale, has engine, call?" minimal-effort ads. Porsche 944 - 5 Speed, Leather, CD Player, 22+ MPG, GREAT CAR! - $3500 quote:The time has come to part ways with my newest toy, a 1983 Porsche 944. It has the rare Brown leather interior. I purchased this car only a short time ago and I am already forced to see it go... I bought it to use as a commuter & "toy," but my business needs every penny I can invest in it to help it survive the quickly approaching winter season. I have priced the car for a quick sale. It really needs nothing but a new driver - Ive been using it as a daily driver and it gets an amazing 22-25mpg! In the short time I have owned it, I have installed a billet-racing short shifter, a new Porsche Cayman Shift knob, new brown leather shift boot, New brown OEM Dash Cap, all new brighter and longlife lightbulbs in the tail, tinted the orange rear blinkers to red, put new air-struts on the tailgate door, cleaned the K&N performance air filter, and have a subwoofer to throw in the trunk. It came pre-wired for a high quality system, and the previous owner had installed an aftermarket Panasonic CD player. There are two nice amps in the trunk, as well as a fancy digital crossover, etc. The Timing and Balance belts were done only 6000 miles ago. The car currently has 157k miles on it and runs very strong. It hasnt ever let me down! It has performace ceramic (low dust) brake pads on it. It has the rare factory rear-cargo cover. This is an awesome little car that I searched long and hard to find. I REALLY do not want to sell it. It is a solid turnkey driver, and would be perfect for ANYONE. This could be a teen's first car, or your Grandpa's weekend cruiser.

They're the runt of the Corvette litter by far--the only redeeming quality is the exterior shape and even that can be a little sketchy. The only sub-$5K Corvettes - any generation - I've seen listed on the internet in the past year or so have looked really rough. It might just be the Pacific Northwest and bad sellers. Some of these listings keep getting reposted for several months at the same price. slidebite posted:Pretty much anything could probably handle a circa 1979 350. Including my motorcycle transmission.

Sir Tonk posted:That's still alot of money for a car that's slower than current-gen Civics. I'd love to get one myself, I really like that body style, but they're just so drat hard to find in good shape for a reasonable price (and the engines are terribly weak in the horsepower department while still getting lovely mileage) Honestly, I can accept the lack of sheer speed for the wonderful noise it makes and the body styling, but you're right, it really is a bitch to find one that's in decent condition and isn't grossly overpriced. C4s are all over the place (one guy stubbornly clung to an ~$8K asking price for his 1984 auto for like nine months, some guys put their 88s up for ~$6K) but anything with an LT1 seems to almost always command a significant price premium, and C5s are never ever seen intact for less than five digits.
