#17851 of 19437 Re: not a project... [texases] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Jul 10, 2009 (10:09 am)
Replying to: texases (Jul 10, 2009 8:49 am) About $4,000, given that it's got everything wrong about it....it's a Calais (a minus) a stripper, (minus) a 4-door (minus) has some dings and dents, ( a minus) might need paint (a minus) , and has been on storage ( a minus) . So he's only 4X over market. He needs to look at some other ads and at price guides and get real about this car. He is IMO overlooking important subtleties about market value and other criteria.

Replying to: lokki (Jul 10, 2009 10:51 am) Is that maybe a first year example? Must be the oldest I have seen.

Replying to: lokki (Jul 10, 2009 10:51 am) The car's going off a bit cheap....looks okay, but paint work is pretty careless under the rockers (lots of overspray). Might be a quickie repaint. Perhaps the economy is depressing the price a bit here, but I'd expect $17.5K for a truly nitpick clean, sorted car. Too bad there is no docs on the engine rebuild. That's a minus.
#17855 of 19437 oh wow by ghulet Jul 10, 2009 (11:51 am)
I didn't bother to ask the seller (the '66 Calais) what his reserve is, since most won't divulge. $15k? Yeah, that's funny....originality and low miles aren't everything, this car, in the realm of other '66's, has little going for it, as has been stated. I thought I was being generous thinking it might get $6-7k; a seller like that is beyond reason, especially after admitting in the ad that he probably stole it from some old man who was the original owner.

Replying to: ghulet (Jul 10, 2009 11:51 am) Maybe the owner wasn't the one who got fooled after all.

Replying to: lokki (Jul 10, 2009 10:51 am) ehhh... this is just not striking me as being all it sounds to be. As shifty pointed out, very sloppy on the paint prep showing on the undercarriage, which doesn't give me confidence in the job overall. Looks to me like the front bumpers aren't quite sitting right. Resetting the odometer?? I don't consider that a legit move with just an engine rebuild. And the mods aren't appealing to me, either. And what the heck is going on with the tailpipe?   So, given all that, I think the buyer is being kinda reasonable with the pricing. Although I think the current bid should be enough to get the job done.

.....but this is about as funny an ad as I've seen on Craigslist in a while (it's rare that CL listers can even form cohesive sentences, let alone do comedy):   http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/1264146856.html
