Owner states he has a build sheet but hasn't verified the numbers...He writes a nice ad and claims he's too old to look for the numbers. Wouldn't it be worth the extra time spent in verifying the numbers? Wouldn't that just add to the value?

So what's it worth?

TIA

Yeah, I know that seems odd. You would think so.

Don't walk, but run from listings like this. 20+ pictures yet not 1 of the build sheet or 1 of the vin pad, what's that telling you. Most sellers if they have even half a brain will lay all the cards on the table for all to see. Appparently, this isn't the case here. Based on just the pictures in the listing and with no further info or pictures, maybe 15K. JMO

Give the guy a call and feel him out. This aint your first rodeo Stevie ... If you like what you hear we can take a ride... If not the search continues . We would know within minutes what we are looking at :yes:.. Just be sure he knows that.

I just noticed he's a "dealer." There's gotta be someone that can do what he can't. That's just lazy or he's BSing.

Why did he have to find out the axle ratio the hard way if he has the buildsheet?

 

[mrfuzzy]

just him saying he has to be licensed makes me wonder.

For me nothing really wrong with his ad. It does however leave so much unanswered that it should receive a personal inspection. I am beginning to run out of sympathy for people that buy cars sight unseen and when they get them home whine about the car not being as advertised. The emotional rush that E-Bay puts people in allows them to get careless in their decision making.

Should not be real hard to verify the claims made on this car. It either is or ain't and should be bought that way.

396-what hp. it's not a 350hp. square port intake

that intake is an Edelbrock Torker 2-0 which means it fits oval port heads.
Looks like a clean cruise night car...I wouldn't pay a premium for it and I would certainly look at it in person.
SS wheels and ALOT of underhood detailing would go along way on this car and keep you busy if you want factory correct.


...buying a car like this sight unseen is like congress passing bills that it doesn't read

 

[SJS]

Well, I spoke to the guy last night and he said that as far as he's concerned the car is real. He will email me the build sheet but I feel that a personal inspection is necessary. He may modify his ad later after he has his son document the numbers. He wants 24K to end the auction.

My question would be, why did they put a vinyl top on a non-vinyl top car???? What is hiding under that new top????

THe color doesn't look like Champagne GOld to me, either. Or Autumn GOld. Or Desert Sand..... kinda like a mix of all three.....

Steve,I am no where near as qualified as the guys here on T/C. From what I can see,and what I have read about this Chevelle,I would definitely look somewhere else. That's my opinion...Bob
