It’s not uncommon to find people who get into a project, find out how in over their head they are, and then try to recoup some of the money flushed down the toilet on it. There are also people who think their time is worth as much to others as it is to them.

. I put car in quotations because it isn’t a car. It’s pieces of a shell. A shell you can probably find elsewhere on craigslist for pennies. Anywho, it’s parts of a camero, an old 505 big block, a powerglide transmission, and some nitrous bottles. For $30k. Some of these parts might be worth something to some people. A quick glance shows me that I can get a properly built 505 for a few grand, a powerglide for twoish, and the rest off of craigslist for practically nothing. Is the work this guy put into not finishing it worth the extra $20k?

If all the bits and extras are included, this is worth about 6-8k because it is a project and it’s difficult to verify things working. For 30k? Hold on a sec....
Here’s a built 1968 dart drag car with tube frame and everything for 18k needing an engine and trans .
Here is a road race ready 90s beretta for 36k
Took all of 30 seconds on ebay to find these both.

I’ll take this complete ‘84 for 13k instead.

The Dart is using moly tubes too, which is stronger and lighter. I don’t think Camero guy is...

I think it is funny how he put the condition of the car as “good”.

Yeah. That dart might still be a little overpriced but that chassis and body are damn fine and definitely ready for abuse. Camaro guy’s welds......and frame.......not terrible, but not nearly impressive enough for 30k.

When I see enthusiast cars that are clearly Crack Pipey I want to think that the owners SO got tired of the car and is making the owner sell it. After many arguments the owner agrees and puts the car on craigslist or ebay for way more than the vehicle is worth, fully expecting to not sell it. “I don’t know honey, I tried selling it but no one is calling. I guess we have to keep it”

I can honestly say that’s the first Beretta that I want. Badly.
