Seems like a deal at the BIN of $8K, am I missing something?

Missed the "REBUILT" title perhaps???

What if it is truly a mistake? If the car checks out like it has not been wrecked?

He says: "Due to very lousy circumstances this lovely old girl has to go."

Then he goes on to say in bold print: "IN ORDER TO EASE THE PAIN OF SELLING THE OLD GIRL, WE WOULD CONSIDER PARTIAL TRADES, SOMETHING INTRESTING, OR OF COURSE A Z IS ALWAYS WELCOME.

how is replacing his Z with another one going to help his "lousy circumstances"??? Doesn't add up.

What if it is truly a mistake? If the car checks out like it has not been wrecked?

I have written the seller to inform him that the Florida DMV did indeed have a computer error induced during some transition of records from one system to another in the early 90's... So if it is a mistake, then the car is very reasonably priced at the Buy-it-Now for $8K - for this area of the country... (if it checks out otherwise)

1971, with 71K original miles, present and previous owners known... If it checks out under the car (frame rails and floorboards - area under the battery etc).... it would be a good buy for anyone that is looking for a nice driver. Better to pay an extra couple of grand - if the car is in your area and you can check it out completely before you buy - than to bid on a cheaper car located across the country...

All the above said - it is still up to the seller to provide "good title" , unless the buyer agrees to accept the car with a Salvage/Rebuilt title... (which might be acceptable if the price was cut in half for example).

Hello Everyone:

The seller had to relist the car - corrected the VIN # listed and dropped the offer to take "trades" as e-bay doesn't allow trading..
