Another 54, described as a Manhattan. Probably is. Nice price, southern location might mean less rust, but would need everything. Still, $800.

That is typical. CL sellers are overall very poor about responding to interested parties. I am not sure if they simply expect people to show up drop down the cash and leave without comment.

I am looking at the 3 photos. The interior save the front seat looks pretty good.

Likely the original disintegrated in the Texas sun long ago and was replaced by another that looks to have shared the same fate as the first. Still, if the car is rust free it would be a decent buy at $800.

I see that now as I reviewed Last Onslaught last night.

The seller of this car does such a disservice by requiring a phone call. Just say in the ad no motor, no transmission. A person has no idea, and who knows on the front end.
