Similar to the “rare” or “one of a kind” searches. I was curious what I would come up with.

First is this 3rd gen. WAY overpriced.

Next we have this 51 Ford. Interesting is a word for it.

Poor Mr. Two.

28 Large for your unfinished project? No thanks.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And finally, a monster wrecker. Why not?

that ‘51 Ford is a “gasser” (dragster.)

I watched a bunch of these cars race at Norwalk last June.

I guess my biggest issue is he didn’t show it in what should have been it’s natural habitat, a drag strip . Instead he shows it in the snow. He needs to know his audience better. And, how come there’s no talk about what kind of times this will run? He just built it for the sake of building it? I find that a stretch.

Seems like a good price to me for that 67. Hell, the engine is probably worth close to that.

This is one of my favorite CL search terms, of course, because no one really uses this word correctly who is selling a car on CL. Rare exceptions.

It’s especially rich when people are claiming some gigantic number “invested” and asking like 1/6 of that.

Money not well spent.

I’m sure it rides great with those 28"s

Trying to figure where the 8k went on the Impala.

The Odyssey is probably a decent price, sadly.

And that Mustang, a little pricey for my tastes, but it might be worth that.

If you are going through the motor why would you put 305 heads on a 350? Do the flow better or something? Is there something better about them than any of the hundreds of aftermarket 350 head options?

I don’t think that guy is far off from a decent price.

Agreed. I was looking for one to make fun of, but this was too good not to share.

Yeah, I dunno what they sell for anyway. Looks nice. I wouldn’t pony up that cash for an ‘06 Impala, no matter how nice an V8-y it is. It’s still a 2006, FWD, ...Impala.

Really? For a 10yo Minivan with 220,000km that is probably not far from shitting it’s transmission out? Ridiculous

It’s probably worth more than that, if it’s all he says. I really included it because of the body of the ad... More money invested than asking/CAPS LOCK/Firm price I KNOW WHAT I HAVE/No test drives/Poor English in ANGRY CAPS LOCK BECAUSE I’M SO MAD I CAN’T CONCENTRATE/I had incident that prevents me from using the car of my dreams excuse etc. It’s pretty much a Craigslist/Kijiji for dummies intro.

Supposedly it can increase compression. I think the majority of people that do it are doing it because that’s what they have laying around.

Or maybe that was the point. He fucked up so much he just wants to start over.
