Thoughts on this sale? Thanks

[DCAlbarran]

Any thoughts on this sale? Full disclosure: I am the high bidder, but the seller is being a little shady over the phone. I know it's hard to see much in an eBay ad, but it fits what I am looking for. Planning on picking it up on Tuesday if the seller doesn't back out.

Not bad at all IMO. If it's indeed numbers matching and no major rust issues, then you've got yourself a solid longhood for a decent price. Keep us posted!

Your buying from a flipper so just make sure all the numbers and papers are good and you should be fine. Also doubtful he will know much about the car so give it a good test and look over. GLWTP

You'll want to replace that POS, Bosch silver coil with something else - they have a long, and well deserved reputation for being garbage and it will likely leave you stranded.

In fact, ************ was motivated to make their own coils to sell, since the Bosch ones are so terrible.

Smokin' deal, if legit.

Seller flaked. Never heard from him again.

I thought these early 70s longhood cars were like $150k to $300k cars.

And this is why eBay sucks as an automotive auction site.

It's good to use a price reference and that's it

Do you intend to leave negative feedback so others know?

[DCAlbarran]

No. eBay sales of automobiles are completely non-binding, and I had talked to him a couple more times, and it seems the car wasn't quite as nice as described, and owed a ton on money in back DMV fees, so it saved me a headache on that end.
