'70 Newport 'vert - sell-me RED - Florida

[commando1]

I am only posting this because somebody may be interested in it because of it's low opening bid and no reserve.
I am near the guy and know him and have seen his cars.
His reputation is pure slime so I will NOT go and look at it for you as I want nothing to do with him.
I will do this: If you think this is the car for you and you deal with him yourself, I can be your representative down here. I can pick it up for you and temporarily find it some storage.
It could be very well a good car for someone.

Nice vert. Someone took a lot of time and effort to paint the under carriage, trunk, and engine compartment. I would of liked to seen the before pictures to see the true condition before getting covered with paint. Reading through his ad he states "buy it now for $7500". I don't know if he has a reserve on this nice vert, but I don't think he's going to let it go for cheap. 23 bids so far at $650.

It's a no reserve car but on all his no reserve cars he pulls the listing in the last 24 hours and then relists them...
I told you he was a scumbag.

I've seen this car before, wasn't it being sold via private sale the first go around? This guy is trying to flip her'?

Are you thinking of the one that looks just like it but all the lowers were sheet metal and rivets?

Nice looking car. The exhaust has to go! Looks god aweful. Not impressed with the under carriage, and engine bay... Looks cheap/tacky. Im all for on the cheap, but.... :sFun_doh2:

Looks like it same exhaust and same car. Like Stan said, this guy is not going to let it go on the cheap.

That is one awful looking paint job. Check out the red overspray on either end of the dashboard! Exhaust is terrible. Side moldings missing. Seat shredded. Avoid!!!

Yeah, the exhaust is really fuzzed up, puts the icing on the cake. I SWEAR the CL add I first saw this car for sale on months ago was asking less that 3K, maybe 4K tops. I'm all for making money, but I would not pay an 100% markup on this car...no way.

it's a pig with lipstick......and I'm talking about the car

Is that bondo I see at the bottom part of the door?Too bad they didn't put paint on it.


But maybe they ran out of red paint after using it on the dash:

Hey guys I see nothing wrong with the exhaust tips. They look just like the ones on my Cummins Diesel pick up! LOL

Yeah, and whoever did the work obviously couldn't match up the pipe size to the correct muffler inlet/outlet size. Look at all that welding around the fittings. Sloppy work.
