Re: Craigslist... a thing of the past?
I recently looked at a 68 Pontiac Firebird I found on craigslist, a legit almost original 98% rust free car. It's had one crappy repaint back in like 1994, but hasn't actually been on the road since 1982 and has been in a dry building its whole life. You can see the original paint on the sides/backsides of the panels. No holes ANYWHERE on this car. 100% OEM GM sheet metal. The downside... original 250 OHC six car, almost zero options, and NOT a sprint version. The seller said over two weeks he had well over 100 texts, probably as many emails, about 10 "no shows", 4 or 5 tire kickers, a couple flippers that offered about 1/3 of what it was worth... and me...
But yes, I have noticed a steady decline in just the number of classics for sale on Craigslist and was wondering why myself. I figured it was some new "thing" everyone was using instead.
