Two other ads are posted for this vehicle (Ebay and Hemmings). The Ebay ad specifically mentions "Hurst" (Hurst effect). IME, people who start "name dropping"(i.e., Hurst, Royal Pontiac, etc) are looking to profit of the ignorance of others.

I really like the look of this car. It looks almost like it was made that why from the factory. They did a nice job.

Default And again I whip out the BJ Goggles and...

I can really see the value here. It's the custom dash work that really pulls in the bucks on this one. It's worth every penny!

Funniest if you read the description BEFORE looking at the pics.

It's an inline 6 "race ending" with a 2 bbl carb!

Family friends with homes in Sandpoint/Coeur d'Alene/Ponderay areas had a familial 2-tone Burgundy & White '53 Chebby 4-door called "Huckleberry" that was a fun vehicle to transport 4 to 6 adults and kids on various trips and actually picking Huckleberry's for some home made pie. That Chebby was a yr round native Idaho car and had various panel rust issues (bubbling) under the paint...so, wondering about this CL Poncho if same condition?

No matter, cool car as a 2-door...and I can't remember seeing that swatch of door chrome before, wonder what model that is?

All I know is I wouldn't pay $4k for it. There's a LOT of money that needs to be spent on that to make it "right".

That van would be worth more if he had never changed anything.

I agree. He might get a $2k out of it if it were stock but this is quite the "custom" here. Yep... rolling art.

An omen to the state of the rest of the car when the dual quad air cleaners don't even fit because they hit each other. Just sayin'.....

I can't stand it when sellers list stupid stuff like "recent radiator flush." Oh - I'm glad he took care of the hard stuff!

His biggest mistake was including a copy of his receipt for all the new sheetmetal. I can tell by the hole in the trunk that he didn't install it. His shopping list alone shows there is a lot of rust going on under there.

Just brings back memories of the red '65 I went to look at back when I was in high school. (he wanted $800.) I popped the hood and the drivers' side subframe rail was rusted all the way through - a few inches of the entire beam had just disappeared!

Other than that it was pretty cherry?

JK. Long time ago had a family member try to pawn off a New England Rusty notch 65 Stang straight 6 (250 Ford truck motor) w 3-spd stick...thing ran great...but it was rotten w same cancer rust that made me laugh and say "thanks but no thanks!" And I never looked back or regretted it.
