Times must be tough for this classic car dealer

Share this page

He's saying the NADA value is $23K. But he's selling with a $10K discount?

hmmmmm

I do like the "showing" only 19k miles as a great example of the creative use of the English language as it applies to advertising.

The actual mileage is of course uncertain - 19k, 119k, 229k, who knows - but he's covered...
 
There is a local classic car dealer that I chat with from time to time and they are defiantly feeling the pinch from rising prices.

It seems everyone thinks their neglected car is the next Barrett Jackson star....

That same thing happens in my other hobby also and probably in most all collector hobbies. I believe it comes from a combination of ignorance and greed. I am also certain that those people go away thinking that guy does not know what he is talking about because their delusion is so strong.

Are those Mustang seats?
Overriders on back, not front?
 
Some how the seat and door panels just don't seem to match up with the blue car. The shroud for the radiator appears to be missing. Other than that, I thought the car looked great and the price is not bad either. A live inspection may reveal something entirely different. Can't help but love the dash though.
 
I agree with Roofman, it is suspicious the car has overriders on the back, as I don't think a 1973 should have. As it is missing the TR^ or flag decals in front of the taillights it may have been hit in the back and repainted. (The rear bumper seems to me to point upwards at the tip in some pictures.)

I don't understand why it has both mph and kilometers per hour on the speedo, this was the case with some Canadian cars around 1978 when we went to Metric distances, but not in 1973.

Not keen on what appears to me to be a fully undercoated engine bay, but I do think you would have to see the car in person to be sure; its tough to pass judgement on photographs!
