Car Flippers say the darndest things...

So like many of you guys (and gals) I love to troll Craigslist...just to look at stuff.

I had been watching a certain 1965 Barracuda just a couple miles down the street from me, thinking if it got low enough it would make a great first/restoration car for my son (and me) to play with.

Months ago it started at $7,500 for this beauty...going down $5.5K...$5K...$4.5K down to $3,000 a few weeks ago....with a threat about going to Ebay after that.

Wow...if i could get it for less than $3K...that would be a great deal.

Suddenly, bam, it was gone...

Well it landed south of the Michigan border in Toledo...the ad can be seen here... http://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/3276973805.html

It is the same exact car, even with the small pictures I can see the same funky front seats.

"Selling due too loss of storage" is the official line in the ad...wow, he must have had storage for 1 week? then none the next?

Or maybe he is a 16 year old kid who didn't tell his parents he bought it?

Or his wife kicked him out for not telling her?

He has it up at $5,500...it will be interesting to see where it goes from there.

Now, I am not against car flipping...we all need to make a dollar...but come on...either come clean or better yet don't say anything at all...

Maybe the situation is the real deal and he lost storage...just seems a little fishy to me.

In the end, I might have to drive down to Ohio and take it off his hands for $2,500 \\:D/
