1 family owned car that has been stored for years.. no kidding..

only 4500

being Sold by a guy named Rusty.. which almost breaks my irony meter..
Somehow, I've never considered a car sitting in a field as being synonymous with being 'stored'. Is it just me?

He's owned the car for the last 20 years and he still refers to it as a "Chevy GTO" ?

Just trolling for all the local hillbillies to click on his ad.
Most of them never heard of a Pontiac.

"price $4500 or reasonable offer" If anything I'd bet it would be the reasonable offer.

Nice car but I'm pretty sure it's a Tempest, not slash/GTO.

Greg, it is a real a GTO..... but via only by the added GTO hood. He forgot to replace the Tempest interior before placing the ad. I'm surprised he did say it was a 455 BIG block. LOL

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".

And the fact that he is selling a Tempest hood with the car.

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

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.
