It's a nice looking car.
Funny, I sold my bikes and got another car.
You're selling the car to get a bike.
That's life eh? Too many people trying to kill me on the bikes out here for my taste.

That is Oldsguy's Delta 88 that he sold a year ago. I fondly remember driving that car in Lee's Summit, MO and revving the engine at a passing Lamborghini. He didn't want a piece of me.

The car has manual steering, manual brakes, bucket seats out of an early 90s Cutlass Ciera, a console out of a 78 Holiday 88, aftermarket Hurst shifter, and a good Oldsmobile trunk mat. The car also has well over 150,000 mi. It is a decent car!

I honestly don't see how I could set myself up for such a thing. I can't take responsibility for someone else being full of sh)t.
Anyway, I don't know if you're too familiar with ebay or not, but some of the members have a bad tendency of leaving retaliatory feedback, hence me not leaving it for the bidder. He didn't even contact me after the auction though. Luckily, I got my fees reimbursed and he got a strike against his account.
Anyway, it's still available.

Honestly, I don't know what it's worth. I'm really a chevy man, myself and don't know too much about the olds'. I do know that the last 3 '69 - '72 chevy's that I've sold have a market value of about 10 times what I sold them for about 9 years ago, and the 88 is a '69 gm car. I suspect I'll regret having sold it a couple years from now when I couldn't touch one if I wanted to.

My understanding is the Ebay is changing (or already HAS changed) their feedback policy such that sellers can ONLY leave positive feedback (not even a neutral) for winning bidders in their auctions. The purpose as I understand it is to prevent retaliatory feedback against dissatisfied customers (the threat of which keeps many customers from leaving a negative in the first place).

But sellers are not without recourse when it comes to deadbeats; as stated above, the non-paying bidder complaint is quite effective, since 3 strikes and the bum is OUT.

Ends in 24 hrs.......... Treat yourself to a nice '69 GM muscle car and help me and my family during our time of need (We have had a recent emergency that has set us back quite a bit).
Thanks

You might try to see if the car is still on the Kansas City craiglist. I saw it on there about a month ago. I believe the current owner had his number posted there.
