If he couldn't keep that car, why could he then keep an old Chevy or a bike?? Kinda curious...

Did a google map search on the given address. It is the same as the house in the pics. We all take pics of our cars in other places. Nice looking car.

You don't remember the smoke for three weeks this summer? It was even worse and went on for longer on the east side. The cali plates are curious though...

Some of these pics were taken earlier in California, maybe from the ad, or after it was
bought? I expect the others are current, and the Pacific Northwest certainly doesn't
seem all that unreasonable (note the canopy).

The wording in the ad still sounds sketchy, but the pictures themselves aren't really
raising any red flags for me. Might be legit??

CA






PNW

Thought. It looks like the Bonneville is stored outside. The cars mentioned are smaller.

Small garage, big car?

Yes I remember the smoke Will and I think it was here longer than three weeks. Like I said the first few pics are not from western Washington. We have way more trees than what shows in those pictures.

Yes 242177P the last few could be from Washington. I glossed over those?

"Moving international for awhile and can't keep this beauty. Runs and drives great. Original 389 with just over 7500 miles on it. Spent most of its life in California so its CLEAN inside and out. Have an international dealer looking for buyers but Would love to see it stay around the PNW so I'm happy to take a reasonable offer. Would consider whole or partial trade for late 30s to early 50s Chevy or Vintage Harley"

So the person is moving international for a while as stated. Then why would they want to trade whole or partial for anything? This strikes me as really odd. I guess since I don't have a job right know and lots of free time I should go have a closer look at this. We will see if the guy, girl or scammer gets back to me???

That’s more than a stretch. Someone has broken with reality.
So many things wrong with that car. If it’s a judge, where’s all the ram air stuff? Where’s any of the ram air stuff? According to their website its small block 400? Red no less.
Black velour interior?
No pics of phs to prove it’s a judge.

Why provide pics when saying it's so makes it so?

Gauge lenses are hazy - condensation?
Lots of non-stock wiring hanging/laying about including that yellow wire hanging right above the gas pedal that's just two wires stripped and twisted together with no connector...
Crappy flex fan that's much too small diameter.
Alternator belt is coming apart.
Core support is rusty near the frame attachment point on driver's side.
Frame is damaged and has a big crack in it in front of crossmember on passenger side.
sway bar bushings are shot.
the seal between the pitman arm and center link is shot.
Underside of trunk floor looks pretty rusty. No shots of trunk pan from inside without cover in place.

No wonder kids don't own these cars any more. Who can afford $64K for an arm-long list of problems? (And probably a lot more we can't see in the pictures).

Post up those deals and intersting cars if you see them, guys. I might be looking for a new car.

I'll kickstart this thread. I thought that this one was cool with a 4sp and factory tach.
