"I have a mint running 1966 pontiac lemans convertible engine 60k miles all original. 326 V-8"

How does an engine run "mint"?

1971 Chevrolet Trans Am. It must be as rare as the Pontiac Camaro.

If it is a real 455HO,do you think anybody would care if you just spent $100 on brake parts? New hardware too-Wow!

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a different daily driver,so have been looking at a lot of car ads on CL. It always cracks me up when people list all the new things on the car as if it makes the car dollar for dollar that much more valuable. I think the worst is "Fresh oil change". Great,I'll buy it based on that.

You can't sell a car on ebay or craigslist unless it is "rare" or "very rare." It's in the listing fine print.

It would be interesting to know where the seller got those stats......

More keyword abuse. I'm sure that him throwing "Toyota Camry" in there will pay off for him.

Maybe try discribing the car instead of dropping all the key-words. I'm sure someone looking for an I-phone isn't going to buy an old Buick instead.

This is the perfect car for a "REAL" mechanic.
