Not mine, but figured this person isn't getting enough attention for his ads, like 10+

Read the copy it’s hilarious. Drove it from Seattle, changed the oil in PHX - not sure when they installed hold down strap on the trunk...
I think he broke down on the side of the road on the highway in one of the photos. Why else would he take photos of the car in the breakdown lane of a highway? It's not exactly a spot most people stop to take photos of a car they are selling.
Calling this 1971 Supreme a "muscle car" is definitely a stretch of the imagination. A 350 with a 2BL carb and a 2.73 highway gear?
Judging its condition, I think it has 193,500 miles and not the claimed 93,500 miles. This car is worth $2k tops.
One thing that is true, the 350 motor cars did run longer and were more reliable as they were much stronger than the 455's. Supposedly most 455's never ran above 90k miles without a major rebuild. If they were raced, most 455's didn't see anything north of 50k miles without requiring a major rebuild. Supposedly that is why one see's non-numbers matching blocks in many 442's as the original #s matching block was long destroyed by a connecting rod or broken crankshaft.
