That Pastel Yellow one actually looks great.

Here's one on Craigslist that is full of 'red flags'.

The police officer said that it ran two years ago before it was parked. Is that reassuring?
Maybe at around $2k I'd take a chance.

So let me get this straight. The previous owner "guaranteed the car ran when parked" 2 years ago. The current owner bought new tires, brakes/rotors and a battery, but hasn't started it himself? Yet it supposedly runs because the previous owner guaranteed it ran. Yeah, I'll buy that!

I get what he was trying to do. Just didn't work.

I'll admit that in my head some things make more sense than they do in reality.

That's the black car that the owner made his own Ztop style fastback. Its been on here before when for sale then. I guess it didn't sell so he's trying this version.

I was kidding some guy in another thread about his dodge Daytona rear wing but this has that one beat for sure. Put some big stickers on there and you could qualify for a dirt track race

Want a new car for $30K off sticker?

Sadly, it's still a 7 YO car and according to KBB, trade-in value is 39K at most. So whoever the previous owner was, they just threw 50K down the drain because they got no use out of it whatsoever.
