$12k paint job

This guy is a ficking asshole liar. I'm not too familiar with the trim levels on Coronets, but would a 500 have single exhaust? Did this guy make a clone?

One thing is for sure, there's an extra zero in his paint job description. THat looks like an Earl Shieb (spelling?) quicky job. Hell, you can paint a car with a brush and it'll look good in pictures...
 
The 500 was a trim level like a satty sport. 318 car so yeah single blow straw.
25k seems pretty fair for what I could see in the pics for a doable 'vertable.
I'd put a 440 in it. :)
 
I think the muffler and tail pipe are stainless - just not the rest of it.

I agree that it's not a bad car overall - I don't know about the dollars it's bringing - might be too high, but that's just my opinion.

The ad is the real problem. It falls somewhere in between, "I'm a stupid idiot," or "I'm a scum sucking scammer trying to get as much from the poor saps bidding."

I think we're dissing the ad more than the car, right?

He probably would have done better to be totally honest about the description. It's a good solid car with low miles and a paint job done by a moron. Ya don't call it a survivor and then brag about everything that was done to it. :naughty:

yup, lighten the trunk shots and my untrained eye goes[smilie=2: that's clean!
 
I asked him the same questions and he called me a "wannabe nosey little socksucker". :eek:

So then I told him to "Why don't you just eat a d__k you worthless, lying sack O' s__t!" :D


This clown never emailed me, he made all that text up from scratch like a weirdo, and I made an honest mistake calling it a stainless exhaust. I had one put on my Newport and the exhaust on the Coronet is only 2 months old, with full warranty. On eBay I have seen people call a car a Survivor that has fresh paint based on so many things being original still. If someone has there own opinion on what a Survivor is then good for you. There are many car shows in this area and this is one of the nicest cars when I go, so where did I go wrong calling it a surviving show car?

Did anyone hear me say, "This is a #1 car that should bring $38k", no. To the idiot wondering if it is a real 500, the fender tag tells you that. The car sold for fair money at $24,544 and since there is 180 pictures regardless of how foolish my description may sound to some of you, everyone was given the opportunity to look at every angle of the car. None of you shi_ talkers were not on the market for a $25k 318 Coronet anyways so Fuc_ Right OFF. For the records morons don't make something out of nothing and own lots of real estate and a dozen classic cars plus be in my 20's. Keep your miserable existences just like they are, if it were not for fools like you the world would not even out.

:bwuhaha: Good for you! Maybe you can take some of that wonderful money you've toiled endlessly to make and buy some spelling and grammar lessons. Then, after you've done that, take some classes in ethics. Finally, I'd recommend you see if Galen Govier will give you a quick refresher in mopars so you will be able to give at least a somewhat-accurate description of what you happen to be selling on your way to fame and fortune.

OOHHHH! I like this guy right here! Hey XL, can we use this for the new site slogan? Please?:helpme: Just change the "you" to "us" in the above sentance.


For the record, while I personally wasn't in the market for a car like yours, "the description could have used some work" I belive is the consensus that most members here had probably arrived at before you had posted. Please keep in mind that individual opinions are just that. INDIVIDUAL. I hope you won't typify this entire Moparnuts webforum because you didn't like what a few people thought of your car or your eBay ad. Of all the Mopar websites out there, there is a reason this one is called "The most laid back Mopar site on the web".

C'mon now kids let's all play nice now. K?:shifty:

Yes, Mommy. [smilie=k:


Seriously though. I believe that most of what went on here was for the entertainment value - except maybe the e-mailing part. That's just shit-disturbers in action. Then again, that could be seen as a form of entertainment. :D Yes, this kind of shit entertains us.

All in all, ads like that raise serious red flags in the MOPAR hobby. There's been way too much crap going on lately. I feel that THAT is really the sentiment at the heart of all this banter.

While I don't believe for a second that there was any attempt on the part of the seller to defraud anyone, the words used in the ad would confuse someone new to the hobby for sure.

Even to someone that's been in the hobby for a while, but still not considered an expert, some of the statements made in that ad are laughable.
Personally, that's how I viewed this thread. Nothing more.

If I were in the market for such a car, I would have deluged your inbox with questions - valid questions that a serious buyer would ask. I have to be honest though. The ad did scare me off to a certain degree.

As for it's value: no one can really argue the value of a classic car these days. It comes down to what the buyer and seller agree to.
Personally, I could not leave the car in it's current state. So, the value of the car to me is it's perceived market value MINUS the estimated cost to get the car to a state of restoration that I'd be happy with.
For me, the math does not add up to a good deal.
For others that are happy with the way it is, it's a pretty good deal.

I'm glad you got it sold. I hope the deal was what you wanted it to be and I hope that the buyer is happy.


Besides, "survivor" is a Corvette term. [smilie=f: :D


wanted, no need to go anywhere just because we hammered your ad. Hell, we take shots like that at each other every day. Hang around and get to know us. We're not that bad.
 
Maybe it's because I do it for fun and because I like it, not for the cash. :doh:

I'm assuming your meticulous attention for detail is represented in your real estate dealings too. [smilie=g:

Yep. The interior all gets repainted but the floor stays original even though it's worn out and the exterior gets new siding. The basement stays all worn out but parts of a new chimney are added.
