Not many of these around
- It's an automatic
- The custom wheels are chrome mods which are about the cheapest wheels on Earth
- It's got 167k and the vague notation that it needs "some shop work". I hate when these guys aren't more specific about these things. If it needs something, put it out there so that buyers will have an inkling of what they're getting in to. I would think that it would save alot of the seller's time.
By 76, the Capris had gotten bloated and Americanized. The earlier models had alot more European charm.
This is just not a nice example of the breed. Find a clean 5 speed, in red, then we can talk.

Oh yeah, that car (if in very good shape) should be worth $12,000--$15,000. It's a steal at $5K if it's a straight car. You could double your money.
Wouldn't call it "rare" though--they made about 7,000 of them....
Turns out you were exactly right. It was a steal... of someone's eBay account. I bid on the car. eBay cancelled the auction because of fraud/illegal use of an account or something.
And yeah, the earlier Capris were better. I wonder how many bloated ones are still left.
Someone has a sense of humor
Here's a nice looking old yacht
About a week before the Fulvia I put in a lowball bid on a nice local 240SX. eBay took away the listing and sent me a similar email.
It has happened to me a couple of times before that also. I have always just been a lowball bidder in all the instances. I doubt I would even send a deposit to most individuals. I would just go look at the car almost immediately, and pay for it if was as represented.

There is actually a decent project car in his listings. an older Chevy PU (a '64?). Must be cheap, if you can get a Shelby for 9 grand!

a knee-knocker and a 4x4 to boot
this one's been molested
Not even that far from me. Good thing I'm not interested!

The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:

If the seller asks you to complete this transaction outside of eBay, we strongly recommend that you do not proceed with the transaction and do not respond to the seller. Transactions for items listed on eBay but then completed off of the eBay platform are not covered by buyer protection programs offered by eBay and can be highly indicative of fraud.
Another good enough looking car for a work car/beater...although that engine might be stressed
It looks better than the retro Camaro I saw on Motor Trend at my doctor's office Friday!!!

I'll put it this way...it probably has no legit title nor legit plates...
The ad is a joke, I think.
Gotta stay away from 80s German cars. So this car needs serious motor work (bent valve) which means one of the pistons is probably fubar, being an interference design, which would put me instantly upside down as far as repair costs vs car value. The motor should probably be gone through anyway, the front seals are pretty notorious in early cars for leaking...oh and I heard something about the steering system but can't remember what.
All for a car no quicker than my 10 year old Honda. :confuse:
It must be the same as with older MB - the cheapest will be the most expensive.
I recall driving a 69 on a test drive. I hit 80 in 2nd gear on the turbohydromatic. That thing would move--350 IIRC.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
It's a freakshow alright...maybe a parts car at half the price
Not a project, not the best spec, but cool
That famous Jag resale value
By saying that it will need new paint, I think he is implying that you need to hide the car from somebody, most likely the police.
Aaahhh... the joys of a free forum
I remember a few years back, someone wanted to buy my '68 Dart. Now I told him that I honestly didn't know what V-8 it had. The guy I bought it from told me it was a 318, rebuilt around the 242,000 mile mark, and it definitely has some kick to it, but years later when I did a VIN decode, I found out it originally only had a 273. I don't think you can tell the difference between a 318 and 273 just from looking at them. It's stamped on the block, but on my car it's hard to access, and covered with years of gunk. Anyway, after I told the guy that, he said "Oh, it's a 270". What?! I told him that a 270 was an old Dodge engine from the 50's. I think it was offered both as a Hemi and a Poly-head. "No, it's a 270. Says so right on the car." Now that one I couldn't figure out. My car says "V-8" on the fenders and "Dodge" on the hood, and that's it. I pulled off the trim that said "Dart" when I repainted it, and never bothered to put it back on. Then, it finally hit me. On the glovebox door, it says "Dart 270". This buffoon, a self-proclaimed Dart expert, mistook the trim level for the engine displacement!
Hmmm, I think I'm gonna go track down one of those old AMC Ambassador 990's. Bet those would be a real stump puller! :shades:

Uncommon with the manual, but crazy miles
I think the only thing that would worry me is the tranny being slow to engage overdrive...is that a sign of impending doom? Or is it just one of those little things like how my '79 NYer does its torque convertor shudder-dance around 45 mph, for years now, but will never seem to get any worse?
Odd that it is cloth.
One of my roommates had a couple and they were always a nice drive. Now that I think about it, I can't remember either of them failing.
Here's a description of it: "1956 GMC Bus/Motorhome - 1.5 ton, short wheelbase, 396, 4spd, typical amenities, nostalgic interior, motorhome conversion done by Novelty Carriage Works of Spokane, WA. $1,500."
The guy's got a lot of neat looking old GM stuff on his website, but unfortunately I imagine most of it is better off looked at and reminisced over, but not touched. :sick:
That is a project I would undertake were it not for a cost-prohibitive tow and three projects ahead of it......

Let's try to figure out the 'per mile' cost on this vehicle, hmmm?
Now here's a deal on a SLOW beater of sorts
A great pretender
At least it has the fin on it..... those camaros/firebirds looked so hideous without them! :surprise: Do you suppose that 6 could really pull off 30 mpg?
I was going to suggest maybe with the engine off, too.
