I don't know it, but it looks really good (from the pictures) for $1,500! Get pictures of the hell holes and post them. We will help you out.

I noticed that on craigslist the other day. It's interesting that he does not show a picture of the fender that is damaged

True, makes you wonder. Still, at that price it is worth checking out.

Heck'uva discount by someone who needs money; he knows it's "worth" $10K, but wants $1500?

And... Engine runs good, when it ran. Huh?

Please don't consider that my tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor is a good reason to not see the car. All cars are worth looking at, it's just the number that are worth bringing home that is painfully small.

Also, funny he/she hasn't responded to the email sent a couple days ago....

Seems like about 1 out of 100 is worth anything on Craigslist... once in a while you find something worthwhile.. no response should tell you something!

I saw this listing too. If it wasn't so far away I would have taken a look at it. I also emailed, no response. Whatever, there will be others. But I also find it suspicious that the damaged fender is not shown, makes me wonder it its some pretty serious damage and the seller is not quite describing it accurately.

Just looked at that listing for the 6. Probably a really nice car, but non original engine (yes it's better than the original, but for anywhere near that kind of $$ everything should be original) modded tach, etc etc.
Boy, if a nice mildly modded one is worh that I shouldn't have sold mine a decade ago!!

That one in Boston has been for sale for a while, and will probably continue to be for sale for a while.
