The ad mentioned damage to the front frame rails and nose. I would have wanted to see it in person before placing a bid.

102 miles and it's "nearly" new?

Damaged? Where are all the receipts for the repair and photos?

"Rare" small block? You mean undesirable SB in a Shelby 427 chasis.

Imho a bottom rung car for a CSX.

102 miles in 7 years sounds like a DD by my standards.

I'm guessing that the damage was from when they seized it and threw it on a flatbed or roll truck.

... or when the tow driver popped the hood, started laughing, and let it slip back off the hooks.

I had my car in a shop once and they needed to move it to another shop. I was out of town, so I couldn't supervise how they towed it. But I still have the memorabilia from it!

New auction listing's lead photo looks like a kid is driving a toy pedal car.

Head is above the windshield frame, knee up near the dash, even the hand placement adds to the cramped image.

Upside down image in an auction of a 100K article makes me think that whoever buys it will need to put a wrench on every bolt to make sure it was tightened the right way.

I think you lost most of us on your post. Not sure what you are talking about.

Sorry, my bad. I should have looked at previous page.

Bernica,
Who's the girl in your pics?
Did she need a car or did you need a girl (for the shoot).

Forget the fact that we're using poor photo quality to sell a $100K car. I just hope he throws in the fuzzy dice to complete the deal.

Rodney,
She is a model I used for the shoot. Her name is Jannelle. She is from Czechoslovakia, I believe. A fitness competitor on a world level. I like to think I have a firm handshake, but she crushed my hand when we shook.

And no, she didn't need the car...she showed up to meet me in a quite nice Mercedes AMG with a couple of bodyguards. She was quite a free spirit. I put several pics in my gallery of her and have many more. Actually a very nice girl and located in SoCal now if you need such services.

Services?
My wife would hang a fuzzy pair from the mirror but they wouldn't be dice.
Bernica, RodKnock and ACademic like this.

Hell, I invited my wife to the shoot. She looked at her portfolio and just laughed and said "Good luck, knock yourself out old man!"

Well, this thread went to hell. Sorry to stray off topic....
