Is it bad CL form to put conditions on who you sell your car to? I'm thinking of selling my old 73 Cutlass Supreme, and since I've put a lot of work into the engine and suspension to make it fast and handle as well as a GM A-body can, I'd like to make sure that the next owner isn't a 16 year old kid who will wrap it around a telephone poll or some douche who will put hydraulics or 19" rimz on it. Is it presuming too much to ask that the next guy to get the car treat it like I have?

Yes. Just sell it.

Well, I've had the thing for 15 years, I'd want someone who would appreciate it. I wouldn't sell it to a high schooler, he'd kill himself. I know I would have if I would have had the 425 in it rather than the stock 350.

I don't sell my cars locally if possible. It makes it a lot easier to sell it when you know you won't have to see it again.

The best you can do is interview them, see their other cars, and refuse to sell if you don't like what you see. You can't stop them from going nuts after they buy it even if they look sane when you sell, and you can't help what the next owner after that does.

Although you're perfectly fine saying that you won't sell to high-school kids, you can put the other conditions in the ad; just be aware that you'll definitely get the "this guy won't see it again so I'm going to lie to him" type that people with decent survivors get when they want a buyer that will do a full resto and not modify the car from stock.

Quantrill posted:"Great for a parts car." What parts can you possibly salvage from that? The door mirrors? Sometimes people will buy a scrap car to get a VIN and build, say, a 1960s Mustang from scratch. $500 is ridiculous for that though, especially since you'd have to pay someone to take that hunk of rust away.

One of the tires is flat so it'll probably need to be towed. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/2615876096.html   He said it's been sitting for 2 months because of the tire situation. Offered him $1750 but he wants more.

I don't know about your area but around here they go for more than that with less issues. At least go give it a look, if it's not riddled with rust that's a good deal IMO

The prison time for that costs more than $500, and the license to be a manufacturer to have the legal ability to attach VINs to cars is more than that also.

A MIRACLE posted:Sup Knoxville buddy. IACV blockoff either means it idles cold at 500rpm and 1500rpm warm, or not at all cold and 500rpm hot. Not a bad price though, but PS/AC removal means it was someone's slow rear end drift project.

BetaTested posted:Yeah, the sad news about aftermarket wheels on e21s is that they typically don't work well. You can find some nice ones that will work without spacers, but you have to look around for a while. Piano posted:It's not so bad nowadays. The 4x100 wheels market has grown pretty huge in the last couple of years. Even stuff that looks at home on a bmw Yeah seriously, if those old Bimmers take a 4x100mm bolt pattern, then there's absolutely no right for anybody to complain about wheel selection. It's a pretty different situation when your car's 4x110mm bolt pattern pretty much limits you to ATV rims nowadays.

It's a pretty different situation when your car's 4x110mm bolt pattern pretty much limits you to ATV rims nowadays. I'm guessing that you're an early Mazda owner. And I've just had hilarious visions of some of those wheels on my '79 RX-7, if I hadn't already converted it to GSL-SE hubs for the bigger brakes and 4 x 4.5". Wonder what the load rating on those ATV wheels is? Some of them were 14 x 7 and 14 x 8 wheels. The Rotas and Konig Rewinds are nice, though.

Rota, Konig and Panasport seem to be the only manufacturers lately that still produce 4x110 car wheels, so even if they do look nice there's still not a lot to choose from. Also believe me, I toyed with the idea of mounting some 10x10 ATV wheels purely for the what-the-gently caress factor.

Because you are buying a vin number here and little else, and for people who buy 60's muscle cars as an investment, having the VIN code display the correct color code for a desirable color like hugger orange is a plus. The entire rest of the car can be built from a catalog.

And really, if you're doing a total restoration that will involve rebuilding or replacing almost everything on the the car anyway, it's almost easier to start with a basic shell.
