A non-auto related ad. I posted this add on the Long Island craigslist in the "gigs" section. Any hockey fans here might know how horrible my NY Islanders are playing this year. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and try and help them out.
http://longisland.craigslist.org/cwg/4248940314.html

Time Bender (Uniondale, NY)

The New York Islanders are looking for a motivated, team oriented individual for a part time position. Qualified applicants must possess excellent hand/eye coordination, concentration, and ninja-like reflexes.

Job duties - As the official game time keeper, individual must start and stop the scoreboard clock as the game progresses. This can be a very difficult task since there are frequent play stoppages for several reasons. This is where the hand/eye coordination and concentration come in. The ninja-like reflexes are needed for the most important part of the job. During the course of the 60 minute game, the time keeper must find a way to shave off approximately 3-4 minutes of play without the opposing team, on and off ice officials, or NHL headquarters finding out. Also, the referee has a stopwatch that must be "adjusted" along with the scoreboard clock. The need for this morally questionable activity stems from the inability of our team to hold on to a lead. This is particularly troublesome in the final minutes of games. Ridding ourselves of those last difficult minutes could be the difference in our struggle to gain NHL notoriety. The skills and experience that you may possess could be of great value to our organization.

Performing these duties will ensure a long lasting career with an up and coming professional organization. As the team grows and moves to an updated facility, you just may move with them.
If you are passionate about the sport of hockey and will do anything to help your favorite team win, then this is the job opportunity of a lifetime for you. Please send your resume to the New York Islanders headquarters attn: Garth Snow

If he traded a '64 SS for that, he's got some very poor judgement. Why do you think it's a Caprice?

That coupe roofline with the extra long trunk became available on Impalas in 1969 or 1970.

My guess is that the '64 was no better than the one he traded for. But, this one comes "wit" a big a$$ hood scoop (or would that be skup?).

And when would $7500 for that piece of crap be "cheep".

Aha...that's why I thought it was a Caprice. I'm not an Caprice/Impala guy,I thought the roofline this one had was Caprice only.

[Greg Reid]

Speaking of the roofline/quarter window on that car...I had a '70 Impala back in 1980 and it had a more fastback style roof and a completely different quarter window. I never, ever see the type I had any more.
I did a search and only found two pics of the type I had...both were about three feet in the air and had like 13" wheels.

The guy wants 38.5 and he won't even dust the damn thing off for pictures?

I'm really chuckling at "asking $38,500 dollars O.B.O please don't try to nickel and dime the price down." Saying "O.B.O." is really an invitation to do just that...

You would think that the Motorcycle could be moved out of the way to get a full view photo and the rag on the floor near the front tire could have been picked up, before squeezing off the pictures to post with this ad.

Perhaps that's just "Nickle and Dime" distraction for the $38.5k ask...?

[Lightfoot]

The crappy pictures were bad enough, but I have a hard time believing someone who owned a GTO 42 years since new would post an ad with this kind of wording. It just looks too amature to me.

Hello, for sale I have my 1971 Pontiac GTO, I bought it brand new, it is a one owner car 49,000 ORIGINAL miles, my car is in pristine condition and is ready to go, garage kept, blue exterior with a excellent white vinyl hardtop, interior is also blue in perfect condition, asking $38,500 dollars O.B.O please don't try to nickel and dime the price down, this car is priced as a steal already. the car is ready to rock and roll come take her home (if you can keep her on the road)

If it is what he says it is, maybe he should be going through a classic auction dealer.

Fishy indeed. Noticed no mention of the engine?

[rexs73gto]

It may be a 49K car but to me it looks like the car has had a cheap repaint at some time & who doesn't wipe the car off before taking pics of it. No pic of the insides & no pics of the engine or trunk area. I want to know whats hiding under & in the car.

[Greg Reid]

He could have done himself a huge favor by pulling the thing outside in the sunlight for photos...after a wash of course.
I agree on the paint. Does not appear to be even a mid level job from looking at the photos.
Could be one of those deals where the wife says, "Why don't you sell that old car? You never drive it anyway." So the guy says, "It's for sale. Satisfied?"

It sure does look like a base coat/clear coat paint job. I suppose it is Lucerne blue but it looks a little too bright to me.

It's like some scam artist snuck inside this dude's garage and took some quick cell phone pics to run a fake ad.
Also, the 'seller' is trying to avoid contact by email, but gives an un-disguised phone number.
Someone should call that and ask some questions about the engine & body tag.
I wonder if the 42 year GTO owner will say it has a big block.
