Missed a deal today.

[siteunseen]

Some guy bought a house and land with an old 240. Facebook marketplace said it was a '69. Message the guy to get the vin # and he said he was flogged with inquiries. It wasn't to far away, complete car for $1,500. I figured out my loose change and when I texted him back it was SOLD.

Turns out it was a '72 but still a decent deal I thought. 

Day late and a dollar short...

Eh, maybe next time? It would've been fun for this winter to play with though. 😥

Sorry you missed, out on that Z, siteunseen.  I, myself, am rarely in the right place at the right time.  😕

Here it is. He didn't respond and now I've had time to quiten the voices in my head. I wouldn't buy it today if he did call. My life is full enough as it is.

Are you prepared? Here's your chance.

The driver's side tail light lens is busted.  That's a deal-breaker.

But all that patina is priceless.

[heyitsrama]

@siteunseen I’ll trade you cars if you like patina. 😇

[siteunseen]

I've got a '77 that is full on patina. I call it Patina.

Sat out so long in the sun the top body panels are silver, sides are 305 blue. It even has orange carpet! And the dash has cracks so wide I could hide a pistol in one.

Not the kind of Z a GRAND MASTER  would be caught dead in.  Although from the picture of the interior, it looks like someone else may have been.

You dodged a bullet on that one, Cliff.

I suspect when they try to move that car it will be in pieces. The rear edge of the hatch looks gone, and there is a letter sized slit in the left wheel arch. It's been sitting in the grass a long time by the looks of it. The bottom of the car is probably totally gone.

No loss, Cliff
