I figure a good portion of us are browsing Craigslist for parts or cars. Some stuff on there is absolute trash and deserves to be shared for some laughs and comments. I'll post the first beauty below and everyone go ahead after me and show the finest items you can come up with.

Here goes:

This joke has been for sale locally for a year or two. Some people really think they have something.

I agree totally that there's a lot of garbage on Craigslist,but you can also add EBay. Someone has a tail light reflector for a '58 Edsel(Looks to be about 15" long and shaped like a boomerang , and it says (fits 1955 Olds) ! Larry

A lot of cars that were "running three years ago when they parked them."

 

The problem with this thread as with this post is when the listing ends or is removed so does all the info. The thread ultimately becomes a waste of time.

 

Obviously meant for fun. Sorry if I wasted your time.

Attachment so no time is wasted...

Pat[/QUOTE he says it starts with half turn of the key, half turn of the key shouldn't even engage the starter.

 

COME ON GEARMAN! That will buff out...

 

Speaking of ebay turds...

^^ Joe , that nearly looks like a builder

 

So long as all you want is a VIN and 5V cowl tag...

Actually, the car has some nice pieces, like a 67 Rally Pac. The starting price is a little optimistic, however.

 

Nationwide search for garbage:

I prepped these when they were new at our local dealer. I have to say I never saw one with a Chevy in it, ever. Live and learn.

 

And tilt, reclining buckets, and an AM/FM. Definitely a survivor that didn't. Too bad.

 

[QUOTE=oldolds88;851872]Did they even make a 78 HO?
From wiki:

 

There was a 1978 prototype, but no publicly-released cars until the 1979 model year.

 

That's what I thought. I emailed the guy and questioned the engine, as well as the year of the car, and he assured me he knows what he has, and he told me to Google it! I don't know if he is being purposely deceitful, or honestly doesn't know what he has? Oh well, buyer beware!

 

I've run into far too many "misinformed" sellers. The Chebby motor and lack of a Hurst shifter should be tipoffs... (yeah, yeah we had that conversation about the 1974 cars...)

Direct him to the HOCA website.

 

Nah, I'm done with him. Probably couldn't change his mind anyway!

 

That's the truth. Whenever some car owner at a cruise or show starts pegging the BS meter, I just nod politely and smile.

I've had my share of obstinate sellers. Saw an expensive "W-30" at Carlisle years ago with the uber-rare "F heads" that have E-head casting numbers. I wasted at least ten minutes of my life arguing with the seller. About 20 years ago I was looking at a 69 442 at Pomona. The seller swore up and down that the 455 in the car was factory installed. I politely pointed out the VIN derivative on the block that started out 30X... (and the last six were also totally different). He had never heard of the Fairfax, KS assembly plant or the fact that Fairfax only built full size cars. He swore the "X" was "experimental".

 

Do those in originals even bring the huge money to make faking one worth it? I guess they went up when I wasn't watching. The black paint job looks like it cost a bundle.

 

If you are talking about the black 78 that I posted, I got that photo from the HOCA website. It is allegedly the 78 prototype (or a replica of it). The white car above is just a 78 Cutlass with a H/O paint job and emblems. It's not even a fake, since those cars didn't exist.

 

Sorry, this was too cool not to point out: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ctd/5173683124.html

 

I hope this works becsuse I think its really funny
