I replaced a really low mileage muffler shop exhaust system with a pypes system on my 67 GTO. It was all welded together, but I removed it in one piece, cleaned it up and listed it on Craigslist for $100. I figured I would give a Pontiac guy a good deal, and I just wanted it gone. The first guy to call offers $25 extra if I deliver it across town, so I took the ad down and loaded it up. I get to the address, an apartment complex in town, the guy has the money in hand. I ask where his car is, and he points to a 70’s Oldsmobile, not even an A body. He said that he could make it work. I said good luck and went about my way. All that work to remove it in tact, and the guy was just going to butcher it up. I guess I sold it too cheap.
That night, I couldn’t believe the calls I got from guys wanting that exhaust system. The ad was up for only about a half hour that morning. One guy wouldn’t accept that it was long gone. I now tend to just scrap or give away items to friends , rather than list them on Craigslist.
