Charcoal gray/red leather is an awesome look for finnies.

I’ve got my eyes on a 1966 gasser that a guy has had on CL over by Orlando for

seller is some gruff cracker guy who is allegedly selling it for an aged owner

I figure I’ll give him a few more months and see if I can go see it in person. 
Maybe then he’ll have been worn down enough by the lack of activity that he can 
convince the owner of the “real” value.

I recall this one from the last time around. Nice car, but lots of work done on 
the body that would concern me for the long run.

I’ve got my eyes on a 1966 gasser that a guy has had on CL over by Orlando for 
awhile. It started at $12k and several months later it’s down to $9k. The 
seller is some gruff cracker guy who is allegedly selling it for an aged owner 
as a favor, and he’s not very nice. I started out with him on my sock puppet 
account but he ghosted me quick when I asked questions and challenged the 
price. A few weeks later I reached out with my real persona and within a couple 
of email exchanges he got nasty and blew me off. He acknowledged that it’s 
really worth around $5k, but that the owner thinks it’s worth far more and he’s 
not empowered to haggle.

I figure I’ll give him a few more months and see if I can go see it in person. 
Maybe then he’ll have been worn down enough by the lack of activity that he can 
convince the owner of the “real” value.
