So, he wants $1500??? Maybe if he put a couple commas in there, it might make sense.

"Apparently" (that apparently kid is funny isn't he?) only the ad poster knows what he wants...for sure.
Couple more things about the ad:
  • Click on the "contact information" link and this is what is shown "1967 1968 1969"
  • could the location be any more vague? "1969 Pontiac Firebird (OREGON)"

My GUESS is that he's saying you can knock $1500 dollars off the price if you don't want the engine....but who can say?

Guess we'll find out.
In fairness, it appears to be exceptionally well kept for a 42 year old car. I don't think it's too out of line except that there's not many people who would want it. For the few who would want it in a world where mediocre new cars cost 3 times as much...Why not ask? Maybe you wind up with $8500.
A quick vacuum and better pics would've helped though...

No. This is wishful thinking on the part of the seller.

If it was the first couple years, was dead stock and very low miles - maybe. But not that one.

That thing is like a respiratory infection. It just won't go away. At least the third time it's been posted on this site if not this thread.
(No offense to you ry57pont...I'm sure not everyone has seen it)

The Q and A is always funny on this car's auctions, though. Here is a gem from that one:

Q: WHY IS THIS CAR SO UGLY TAKE IT TO THE BURN PILE I WILL GIVE U 100.00$ SO I CAN BURN IT
A: Sounds like someone hasn't got much of a life if you have time to waste doing this. The comment doesn't deserve notice let alone an answer but I'm happy to post it.

it must be caught in some sort of time distortion loop, and keeps going into the future and getting reposted

I sure hope you get it!
I'll bet he wonders why he has so many views on it but it never sells. I do kinda like the wheels. They'd go well with my '80 Z car.

Well I found a good one last night but I can't find it now. A guy was selling a harbor freight welding cart coupon on Craigslist. It had a picture of the coupon with a small piece of paper on top of it that said father of two. Really??
