This guy has an inventory of buses similar to this one. I am wondering about the effort in maintaining a 6.5L Duramax diesel with automatic transmission. He made it sound like the mileages ranged from 75k and up.

I'm blown away that you guys didn't have your scam alarms going crazy from that ad. It seriously trips almost every alarm bell I have - the only thing it's missing is a screenshot picture of the ad to make it harder to find in a search like the one I just posted.

That's a textbook Craigslist scam.

"High demand rare car for sale for peanuts! Perfect condition! Low miles! Full list of options! Well maintained! License plates not visible in the (professionally appearing) pictures. E-mail random msn e-mail address. Which includes a misspelled name."

Strange! She appears to be in Winchester, Baton Rouge, Glens Falls, Baltimore, Tulsa, Providence, Meadville, Springfield, Ogden, Holland, Columbia, Vermount, Mansfield, and Northwest Georgia, all with the same car!

its not a duramax. Its a Detroit Diesel. A bit down on power compared to other diesels of the time, but its a reliable, simple lump.

My first car is the same as this one, even the same colour.

I loved that car and still dream about it to this day, I get it without hesitation the only problems being I don't have the cash or anywhere to work on it.

This price is good ONLY this week, through Saturday, August 7th! I am also willing to consider trading for an F350, Escalade, quads, a newer boat, or a camper. [...] It has been sitting in the garage for over a year, so it does not turn over, and it will not pass emissions, at present. There is also an oil leak underneath the car, so that will also need to be repaired. The car needs a little TLC [...]

We're losing our storage and need to sell this rare old car. It began life as a 1947 Pontiac and was converted into a hearse by Superior Coachworks for the 1948 model year. I have owned it since the early 90s when I drove it home from Portland, Oregon with a 77 Cadillac Seville driveline already installed. This car has been registered, plated and insured in Alberta for 17 years. I have invested over $22,000 in it, but the shop that was building it for me went out of business, I lost interest and moved it into covered storage. It's currently sitting in the open at a friend's place and may be viewed by appointment, but must be moved no later than the end of August. I have a car trailer and can deliver for a reasonable fee. This is a very rare car and would make a one-of-a-kind street rod, rat rod, kustom, or advertisement for your business. And don't forget...Halloween is only 3 months away...

THE GOOD: About 95% of the bodywork has been done, and the car is in high solids primer. The seats have been upholstered and never installed (stored indoors). The hearse sits on 1977 Cadillac Seville front & rear suspension, which has been done. I have a 455 Olds motor and a rebuilt Cadillac T400 automatic transmission for the car, along with a brand new radiator, power tilt steering, power brakes, and rechromed grille & hood center strip. Also included but not installed is brand new tempered EverGreen side glass to do all of the windows. The car rides on 1969 Corvette chrome reverse wheels.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE: The bottom pieces of the 2 center doors are the only bodywork remaining undone: this is only the bottom lip part, and the 2 pieces are made for it. Buyer needs to put the car back together - chrome pieces, windows, interior. I hate to let it go after investing so much time and money into it, but don't have the time or space needed to complete this project.

THE DEAL: $10,000 or best cash offer. I may consider interesting partial trades; let me know what you have. I can help with loading and transporting the hearse; delivery out of town is negotiable.

Its called "patina"

It increases the value

Poor bastard. Another one of those cases where "rare" and "$$$" invested means squat. I think he'd be lucky to get more than a few K for it.

$3999 for a 26 year old VW that's been sitting for a while seems high to me...

I think its a V-6 just because I have trouble thinking that an Iron Duke would actually get that thing to 100+MPH.

Timmy Cruise posted:

I know they're rare beasts. I just thought $4k seems high (even though it is CAD).

I had a Duke-powered 6000 a few years ago, and I eventually got it to 103. The 6000 weighs a few hundred pounds more than a Fiero, and it had a three speed automatic. I'm sure a Duke Fiero can do 100+.
