1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible

Steve,

I never even bothered to look at the car in person after my initial contact with the seller. It was way too fishy.

When I got to SoCal from Hawaii in 2008 I stumbled across this car and contacted the owner who sent me a bunch of pictures of the car and threw a number at me and touted it as "all original, unmolested CA car". The pictures by themselves were a severe disconnect from what the car actually was, and call me crazy, but I believe in truth in advertising.

This was way before all of the modifications had been made to how the car sits currently. After he sent me a lot of pics, I could tell that he priced his car way above what it was worth based upon everything the car needed, and that he was not telling the whole story with respect to the car. I passed soley on the pictures compared with the description.

While I agree that it seems like since then he has tried to perform some modifications to the car and has invested time and $$, I feel that he did not have a definite direction or endstate for the car, and the price of the car has only gone up as things have been changed. The $$ has not been spent on the right things or the right places. Not slamming the guy for trying to sell, or for investing in his 69 Vert, but the worst thing people could do is buy this car based on the pics posted by the seller at the start of this thread, or spend $$ on a plane ticket, only to be disappointed when they find out the truth.

I just wanted to pull back the curtain a bit on what I felt was a disingenuous representation in the hopes of making a buck or at least getting your investment back...like I said, if someone is still interested, I have no issue passing his e-mail info along and you can contact him.
