Am I going to get slammed for this?

As a former shoebox owner myself, that one looks to be about a 5 to 6 thousand dollar car.. That being said, I would say that car is NOT shiny black, in case you didn't already notice. The car is soaking wet when he took those pictures, you can see where the door meets the front fender the water is starting to dry, and it's FLAT..

If you like flat black, that's cool, but unless the guy told you the car has no shine to it, guarantee he's a shifty mother.. be careful man, seriously.

Me? I wouldn't do it. Tell him to sell it first and talk to you about your 9500 bucks you want in cash for you bike. Gotta pay to play, no bucks, no buck rogers!

Around here a NICE shoe gets between $6-9 thou. That looks like a $3500 car to me. And whoever rebuilt the motor doesn't put a whole lot of pride in his work, I would've at least done a decent rattle can job and tidy it up some. Looks really fishy. Look at it, if you want it offer him what it's worth, which is probably alot less than he thinks it is.

 

Update: the car is Flat Black and the motor was freshened up not a complete rebuild. It needs a headliner, door solenoids installed (he has 'em) and the steering box has some play in it but he has one that he had rebuilt for $380.00 ready to put in. He says it is a driver/project and he wants 6 grand for it. I'm hearing a little voice saying NO Don't do it. I need another project like a hole in the head.

 

No ****in way for 6k. Offer him 2k for it. If he takes it good, if not, walk. Just my 2cents.

 

WOW! A few months ago there was a guy here with a black two door, nice newish paint, new interiot (red velour , but still new) and a clean, quiet flathead for six grand. I say run away.

 

To me, In those pictures that car looks wavy as hell....


I'd get somebody to/or go look at the car first...
If it is worth messing with, tell the cat you'd take the car and 8,000-10,000 for your bike....ok, maybe 6,000-10,000

then sell the car on e-bay for 2500-3000, you just got 8500-13,000 for your bike!

or just tell him to piss-off

 

It appears that some of the wires aren't getting to the plugs on the bank nearest the camera- some of you guys look fer any reason to bash me, huh? Bash away, buddies, I'll still be here tommorrow.
