Well, at least he has paperwork proving that it was shipped to a Las Vegas dealer... That's rare.
By the way... He lists it as a '78 model but says it was produced 'late' in 1978...so, it's obviously a '79 model...
That's actually the ultra-rare Platinum Silver PRIMER. It looks like it's always had a dull finish.

This guy's probably taken some marketing classes where they taught you how to turn snake oil into "Wonder Elixir".

You've got a point here. Someone orders a *****-brindle brown 67 GTO with an aqua interior. That would be a 1 of 1 car, so I wonder what it would be worth?

Oh snap...it never even occurred to me that he was referring to the primer as 'silver' paint...lol. Now, that is funny.
What's unfortunate is that with a reasonably accurate description, without all the distractions, it would probably attract a buyer. Looks fairly solid and the convertible mod makes it relatively hard to find.

Gas Monkey - $1000 (chico)
Some of you guys have got Gas Monkey Brain Damage. Some of these old bombs are cool, but the thousands you're asking for are the product of TV or too many drugs. Or not enough...

A 66 wagon is cool. Not 4k cool though. The 72 Chev Impala (Gunboat) is likewise cool. With a 454 and good paint, its 5k cool. With a 400 and a butt-load of rust, not so much.
I live and breathe old cars, but you guys are cutting your throats because now ever Joe with a rusted POS in his yard is thinking he's sittin on a fortune, not a 1500, to 2k restorable project car.

For that reason I wish Richard and Arron would just go away...

Not Craigslist, but how do you "Trick" a 350 into a "400 stroker?"
