Apparently "mint shape" now means, "minor items like the louvre can be missing."

This a hoax!!! Or at least the 2 other photos are
I can't imagine a do at that state with a hanging overhead panel have dmoco stainless panel installed and the rpm to be running at such s great idle on the second pic!

In the first pic we have weed they had grown through the engine.

Plus I doubt this idiot knows that the louvre is supposed to be there;)

This assclown stole one of the pics off my resto/refresh blog. This one in particular. I know for a fact because my headlight button is worn like that, my clock is one of the 24-hour versions with the larger green numbers sourced from the UK and I have the dmco auto stainless shifter plate. That's irritating!

The rpm thing is normal. That happens when you turn off the keyed ignition. But you're right about the rest of it.

It is getting harder and harder to believe anything on the Internet. It is so easy for anyone to swipe a photo and make all kinds of claims. They know you are coming to them with cash just so they can rob and maybe kill you using a stolen picture and a low price as bait.

You can totally get back at him because your picture is your property and he does not have copyright. You can contact him and ask him to transfer x-amount of money by email because he is using your picture. And you can claim that you already informed Craigslist admins and local authorities.

I just sent an email requesting to see the car. I'll keep you advised.

I'm a retired cop and my wife is a sheriff's deputy. When she went to the police Olympics she out shot all the women and all the men.

Someone should go check it out - if that's even doable.

Sometimes people post other peoples pictures (whether thats right or wrong is another argument) when for whatever reason they can't supply their own (ed Bernstein).

Doesn't mean the car doesn't exist.

I wouldn't set foot outside my house unless they sent some different original photos, preferably including the vin plate.

I bet a thousand internet points that the "owner" is overseas and the car is at a port, but you can pay a fully refundable deposit and he will ship the car to your door. And, no, you can't see it/test drive it because of some legall/taxation/shipping restrictions :confused2:
