Chopping 70% of the unibody away can't be a good idea. At least it's got the "kregor mags."

My guess is that what he is selling is the tags only. That is the only thing that he actually mentions in the ad. Tags only, no title!!!

You keep using that word.. I dont think it means what you think
it means...

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4334450994.html

price- ok.. high but car looks good.. read description...


"This is a VERY ORIGINAL and UNMOLESTED CAR."
ok... ive heard that before...

keep reading....

"400ci motor with RAM AIR 3 camshaft and RARE factory headers"
Rare headers were original ? never knew that


"Paint is brand new .... It is called Expresso Brown Metallic.......
the original color of this car was Castillian Bronze"

original ? more..

"The following items are brand new on the car: Air conditioning unit,
mudflaps and interior carpet.....Additional gauges were added recently for you hot rodders out there"

"I have a brand new air conditioner condenser unit still fresh in the shrink wrap.
I also have all the Pontiac and Grand Prix metal emblems and stickers fresh in the plastic"

all emblems in plastic ? shouldnt the factory have put them on the car when it
was ORIGINALLY made ?




original = it doesnt mean what you think it means.....

Yeah, he seems awfully excited about the fact that the original color was Castillian Bronze...but in spite of that, he chose to paint it another color.
I DO like the car though...

Those "rare" factory cast iron headers are stealthily looking a lot like regular exhaust manifolds to me.

Seems to me cars that are described with the word "rare" are rarely anything special........

They are the long branch HO manifolds for sure, not just logs. Agree with what most have said about his discription but it is a cool car!

I liked this ad because I to always confuse a Ford Crown Vic with a Chevy Caprice.

I wonder who typed the ad for them as they obviously can not read the emblems on the car, or the words on the title.

I'd love to see a picture of this one but am afraid:

1998 Ford Pontiac - $2500 (Beaverton)
1998 ford pontiac
This is a nice running car in good condition. I am selling because I now need to have room for two car seats. There are a few minor issues, however it is in really good shape for it's age.There was a hole in the oil pan which has been welded shut and will have to be removed to change the oil. There is also some driver front side body damage as well as a leak in the radiator. It has a T-top and 134,000 miles and is quite a looker. Please call or text me at (541) 301-4405 if you are interested. 2500 obo, no low ball calls please.

That color looks almost the same (if not THE same) as the color my '72 Grandville was, cinnamon bronze.

considering I'm a big pontiac fan I thoroughly enjoyed this one!!

http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/4337834760.html

Here you have it. Your search is over. This is the car that should have really been used in the Cialis commercial. A car that separates the men from the boys. A car that screams "This is America. . .and my car makes 3 of yours."

You are looking at a sweet 1966 Pontiac Catalina. This car features wheels, body panels, interior, and a motor. The only thing this car is missing is a driver. . .and a distributor. . .and a radiator. . .and a battery. . .and a few other small items. But let's focus our attention on the items she is not missing -- length, width, and rust. Though she is not currently operational, I am offering a unique opportunity to take a faux test drive. I have a nice fan we can set up and you can roll down the windows and feel the rush of rolling down the road in this beast. For a limited time, I will personally stand next to the vehicle and make engine noises and even throw in a few smoky burnout sounds for free.

If you have question...call or text me. Cash only. Best REASONABLE offer takes it. Clear title. Act fast. Act now. Don't let this deal cruise off into the sunset without you.

When this car sells, I will take this listing down. So, if you are reading this, there's still time to become the luckiest person in the world.

Key words to lure people who dont care about Pontiac Catalina's:

Chevelle, Camaro, Tempest, GTO, LeMans, Bonneville, Firebird, Z28, C-10, Corvette, blah...blah...blah.....
