That sounds like a joke but you may be correct. I work with a Vietnamese guy (good guy by the way) but he spells things the same way he pronounces them.

Reminds me of a Japanese student I was in a class with. He didn't know the word "chicken" so he made the sound to ask what the word was. How you say, um---bark-bark-bark-bark? An Asian making a chicken noise was hilarious--good guy.

454? Those look like small block valve covers to me. If it is a 454 that is one lame-o slow Malibu.

Will soon be dark grey?
For $8k You'd think he'd let the buyer pick the color?!?!?
Why pay for a cheap quick paint job when you can see all the damage he is trying to hide?

Gad! it even has those goofy 3 spoke wheels!
Looks like a 1:1 version of what every 11 year old kid does to a model kit.

Not craigslist but a total BS story. His daughter, yeah right. He caught wind of how much they were going for and remembered the one he had and threw it up there and soon a fool and their money will become departed.
