pondering selling this fall

Thanks for the encouragement. It's on wifes FB marketplace too. I ditched FB years ago.

So far, two $5k low ballers, two trade offers, one a big ole Caddy and the other a pretty nice looking bike. Passed on all and holding out.

It's weird you know. Wifes marketplace on FB is blowing up with inquires. She then directs them to the Craigslist add where they can get more details and use the reply button to email me for further interaction. She has given the add link to probably 15 people at least. Not one has come through on my response email.

I'm certainly willing to answer any questions anyone has. However, I did do that extensive description in the add so people would have a good base of knowledge before calling. I want people to read that add before I spend time on the phone with them. And there's no way in hell I'm posting my cell number on any internet add. Contact through the link first and from there I'll share phone number.

Am I being reasonable? Are there this many people that inquire and are not really serious buyers? It's only been a day and a half since posting the add. We have more trade offers, Corvettes and motorcycles.....pass. A serious cash offer has been made and we'll see if that pans out.

Here’s an interesting tidbit. This car has had a history of transformation from stock to modded and reversion. On my wife’s FB one of the previous owners messaged her with a pic of when he owned it. We were told it once had a turbo. Here it is at another previous state of being.

Look at this beautiful car!

It seems like a convertible owner would be more interested in easy cruising and parades than a solid roof owner might be. It sounds marketable to me.

It’s comfortable, reliable and easy to drive. Traffic jams, highway cruise, wherever

Faster than stock but not a rocket. 1600 rpm stall speed on the converter

I’ve been watching the eBay auctions and cars with 25k buy it now are not hitting reserves. These are cars that have a bunch of money in them. Highest bids are way less than what you might expect and the auctions are closing as reserve not met. This market is pulled back now.

As for my vert, it’s “sold” to the local guy for 6k cash. No fuss or hassle. Considering the overall status of this car, those of you who think I gave it away are behind the current market curve. A year ago, probably $7500 in a heartbeat. Not today though. Lots of interest but nobody stepping up with money. It is what it is

I’m getting back every dollar I spent on the car including all the beer I drank while enjoying myself fixing it up. Nothing for my labor but it’s just a hobby.

One of the 25k buy it now auctions only reached $9100. No crazy money now. We had tons of trade offers. That’s because people can’t get what they want for their stuff either.
