Invest now before it's too late!

http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/4414635777.html

Hey you guys, just so ya know, it'll be Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday next year...this is gonna be the next big thing. Only 275 made...LEAN BURN folks! Go green in....style..? :rolling:

In it's defense, it's a pretty distinctive looking vehicle, but I don't think anyone's exactly chomping at the bit to cruise around in these save for some lunatic fringe akin to us :D

i have only 2 thoughts.

1. How does one arrive at a price of $2,482? I mean why not $2,481 or $2,483?

2. The idea that there is a parallel bizarro world of Chrysler guys just like us is somewhat disturbing........  "save for some lunatic fringe akin to us"

Looks like a mix between the 80-82 body style and 83-84. I don't see it as any diffetently then our cars.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

What's the most funny to me is he has had that strange price for about 3 years now. It's been on and off CL.
There was ANOTHER one, also from almost the same area, which was in really nice shape. THAT guy made a point of highlighting the "commemorative bottle of Frank Sinatra champagne" that had his signature printed on it or something...I dunno. :hick: But yeah, it came with a bottle of champagne that was UNOPENED!!! lol

The quarters seem like a "modern art" style or something. It is rather classy. Imagine having a built-up 383 under there or something. Another good sleeper.
And those seats....holy shiznit those seats! :D

Now I feel old....

OK the only hint I'm giving is that this was a movie car and never existed for actual public use.  The movie came out in the '80's and is NOT a Mad Max film or from that series.
