very nice 83 cat Reply #2 – February 04, 2010, 06:33:58 PM I thought it looked familiar. Someone trying to flip it for a quick profit ehh? Quote Selected
very nice 83 cat Reply #3 – February 04, 2010, 11:17:25 PM So he bought it for $2500 OR LESS ---- cleaned it up ---- and (as he told me in an email) he now wants $4500 for it.$2000 detail job. If somebody could do good detail work and do two cars a week, that's be some decent money to put into the bank. Interesting. Quote Selected
very nice 83 cat Reply #4 – February 05, 2010, 10:09:45 AM I do not see a vin sticker like we all have / had on the inner part of the fender well along the engine bay shot.I dont think the paint is original. Dont take me wrong, I love the car, i am just skeptical its all original.I dont see why at any other time he couldnt get 4500 for it. Now maybe not. Quote Selected
very nice 83 cat Reply #5 – February 05, 2010, 06:50:42 PM Maybe he bought it for (somewhere near) $2500 ---- having only seen the pics ---- and now that he's gotten it to his home in Arizona, he has discovered that the repairs to the dents are going to cost more than he's willing to pay ---- and so he has decided to sell it ---- or perhaps he just thought that it was a good car to flip.Either way ---- more power to him. I'm not trying to be negative ---- nor am I criticizing him for trying to make a dollar ---- but I think that going from $2500 (or less) to $4500 is too extreme. Just my opinion. Quote Selected
