Looking at the seller's other ads, none seem to have the same background and most seem to be pics taken randomly. Some are taken like they are selling the car and some look like they drove up to something and grabbed a couple pics and drove away.
The price has dropped very fast on most of these cars too. So I don't know.... I wouldn't buy sight unseen.

Some people just can't communicate.
If you show up with cash in hand I bet it's yours.
Until them, he will continue to not give people what they want. like the trim tag info.
Go buy it!

Only way to understand is to call him. He will talk.
What I don't get is that he is willing to listen to a trade. But he's losing his storage, so he's still willing to trade?
Odd.
Hope someone buys it. Cool car really.

This car is almost a later model duplicate of my 69 Imperial. If I was closer I would definitely check it out.

Anybody good at the decode let me know what we have here. New roof in the trunk. Overall looks like good bones. Only took 4 years of searching.

I believe that's a Sunbeam Rapier. My Dad had an Alpine when I was a kid, same body as the Tiger. Convertible. That was in England so it's possible they changed the name for the US market.
Awesome buy! At a great price I'm sure!
Love to see more pics, like the ones I've been asking about for some time. Rust areas.
Thanks for posting the fender tag info!

Not a dealer just a guy with cars wanting to thin the herd. I did see the Sunbeam and the 63 cutlass but wasnt really looking at them but they are at same spot. Thanks Cuda let me know about tag and yes will show rest of car soon based on weather and time but nothing horrible just little spots here and there. Far from a show winner but solid as far as i can tell so far. Came with new vinyl in the trunk so will address shortly. thanks

Thank you very much ayilar. Just watched a mymopar training video on the autotemp system. I work at 60 year old vitamin plant as electrician so sorta familiar with old vacuum transducers and the like.
So yeah that will never work again. Looking forward to the journey will never be a concours winner but really want to go through and fix all the little stuff and bring back to life.
