He doesn't have a 'Hemi" price on it though. He must know it's not really a hemi.

That's 3 1/2 hours south in the Rio Grande Valley.. If your really looking for a car like this the valley isn't far
Ok, it's '3-1/2 hours south' and 'not far'....but from where?
Could possibly be a nice car though.

Car is listed in San Antonio area, so he's probably down in the Brownsville\McAllen\Harlingen area or one of the numerous small towns in that valley. It's not exactly "not far" either as there aren't any nice high speed freeways into the area once you're 50 miles south of San Antonio and you'll be dealing with quite a few small towns along the way. Not to mention a gringo in that area stands out...

400hp with a 1973 455? Ok, are you trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge as well?

having lived in South texas for far longer than should legally be allowed, Im guessing they are referring to San Antonio. People there are "special"

"Short Bus?"

When living in Albuquerque - the New Mexico Desert - I was amazed at the number of total rust buckets there. Some imported by Military and Govt Contract peeps, and Wholesalers from the Rustbelts, Oceanside coast communities...flood cars, etc.

Quite often when a CL or other FS ad states: "Rust Free Texas (or California, New Mexico, etc.) Car" I have to remind myself of the total Bondo Bandits that are often foisted on the unsuspecting by less than scrupulous hucksters…as often noted on this very “Epic Craigslist Ad” thread.

Enjoy!

If I lived in their area, I'd volunteer to sleep in their place any time they had to leave. It sounds like someone is watching their place and knows when they're gone. If so, that would be a perfect scenario for a setup.

I think the 6 would have been a lot cooler in that Monte Carlo in the back. I just can't wrap my head around pulling a V8 for a V6...
