This seems like a pretty decent deal... I'd grab em if they fit my 69 which they won't

That car has been repainted. The carb has been replaced, engine tin repainted. Such a low mileage car would not need a new carb.

Oh sure. It could be the actual mileage, granted, but since there are only 5 digits in the odometer there is no way to be sure. Some people are young enough to have never seen a 5 digit odometer. Maybe don't realize that 5000 might be 105000. Might just be mistaken. Or might actually be a lying scumbag. _________________ BIGMIKEY

Unless you know, it sat for years.

So, to recap, no one on this board has any real evidence that the seller is lying. Got it. _________________ I'm the humblest guy on this board.

Put in a huge order with cip1 for my remaining brake overhaul parts. Added in some door handle/trunk/deck lid seals since they were 25% off.
Should've just went with West Coast Metric. The fit was rather "tight".

Apple, I’ve seen entire bugs for sale for years in the Samba Classifieds. I assume they also advertise them in Craigslist.
You’d think that after a good six months, these dinks would, either stop advertising, or lower their prices. That’s how car sales works.

Trying to decide whether or not to buy this-
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/515864108890009/?surface=product_details
Good price but seller pissed me off since the ad says it's in a town I'm driving through tomorrow, but when I messaged him he said he's actually in another town 20 miles away. Not sure it's worth driving that far out of the way since I really don't need it... and I hate liars. _________________ I'm the humblest guy on this board.

They just forgot to add the decimal. It's supposed to be $14.99. _________________ No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow. |
