For Sale '58 Firesweep in NC for $8.5k

Hey! Bonus!
He just changed the oil...29 years ago.

Not sure why that is in there and no real info on body condition or other pertinent details. Still, '58 DeSotos being the rare bird that they are makes for an intrigue.

Not a very informative ad but if it's a relatively rust free car as it looks like in the ad it's a great deal.

Ugh. Too tempting! That would be a wonderful thing to have ifn it ain't swiss cheese.

Very true especially since finding these with good floors and trunk floors is next to impossible.

Body wise looks great from what I can see.

Disturbing that there isn't a single picture of that very first wedge big block. Seems like a big gap between the top of the front tire and the fender like the engine is not in the car.

The implication is that the car has only traveled 1000 miles in the last 30 years.

It may be that the seller just isn't a good writer, and forgot a couple of key photos. Still, from a distance it looks pretty nice, and is worth a visit in person from someone local.......... this car has hopefully made its way to the forward look page........

I'm not liking that nose much ...

Not sure if I'm in the minority on this but I do prefer the 57 with the single headlamps. I also dug the side trim in 57 more. Still, all things considered, if it were closer and verifiably solid, I'd be on it like flies on poo.

Nobody is suspecting that is too cheap?

Absolutely. But I like playing the 'what if' game too.

When it comes to spending money on cars, I try and keep it real.

I suppose if I were actually going to spend money on it I would too.

I thought of that but nothing else in the ad suggests any kind of fraud to me. I sure would do some more checking before wiring 8G's though.

 

[commando1]

I figure the guy posting the ad is fast talking somebody in Europe to wiring a thousand dollar deposit as we speak.

 

[drpreposterous]

Google search on the images turned up nothing.

 

[Dobalovr]

Obviously a dirt lot Dealer as none of the cars have tags on them. Nice car though.
