Buyer's remorse
« on: November 19, 2015, 12:10:25 PM »
I give you ten to one, the buyer of this car will sell it within a year. The engine compartment telegraphs what you can expect underneath. Blow ups of the photos indicate the need for a lot of work. It will take twice the purchase price to bring it up to what would make most happy .

Well, at least the seller was honest about the description except it is certainly not all original with changed paint color and re-upholstery.  It looks great in the photos.

That car actually sold on ebay 5 weeks ago -

It's the same seller so something did not go right.  Here's the original thread we had on it -

Photos... I have been fooled by them and yes, I admit I have used them to fool.
