Or I guess rust is only rust if it's a hole.....but if it's a hole is it rust? :laugh:

Comes with the rare and optional air freshener that smells like fresh forest.

 

Maybe the guys description is like Kelly blue book... excellent, above average, average, GOOD, Poor

Before pictures on the internet, if I went to look at a car listed as "no rust" I was lucky if I got there and found that the roof wasn't rusty. Painting over rusted metal and sloppy bondo work with duct tape for rocker panels was common, way way too common on some of those rust free beauties. :shock:

 

So true...........what's so funny is some folks still say it despite the pictures. :laugh:

The Fury guy is pretty funny with the:

"i will NOT break these cars up they are a pair.
8,000 frim!!! for both cars!!!
or 7,000 for just the 2dr"


You MUST buy both..........unless you want one.:laugh:

 

OK, funny stories of car quests.....

Looking for a '58 Merc. I called on one, the conversation went:

Hi, I'm calling about the '58 Merc for sale.


Which one?

You have two for sale?

Yes.

Well, tell me about both of them.

Which one are you calling about?

Tell me about both of them.

Which one?

Tell me about each.

What is it your trying to do?

............I'm trying to find out what you have for sale...... is what I'm trying to do. :laugh:

So, after I identified the car I called about he described it, then I asked about the other car and he described it too.:laugh:

"What is it your trying to do?" ou: Seemed fairly obvious.

 

A Canadian?? Probably didn't understand you with that accent of yours:bla:

 

Probably. The seller was on a metric phone.......

Ask Tim if he has any stories about going to look at rusty cars..........:error:

 

When the ad states "rust free" it translates to all the rust on the vehicle comes along free with the purchase.............

 

Nope, not Canadian, Arizonian.

Scotchdale maybe? :laugh:

 

That's always been my understanding, Frank...:bglasses: BP

 

Another funny one:

A long time ago in a Chrysler Newport far far away..............

Went to look at a '72 Buick 455 Centurion convert to replace the 350 cube Lesabre convert I had sold. (lost three straight to Casey's Newport so I needed another 105 cubes. :laugh

Anyway.....the guy said there was some wheel lip rust that had been repaired.

Were the repairs done well? I asked.

Yes, the only indication was primer, he replied.

Got there and the wheel lips had a 5 inch radius of bondo that looked like STUCCO! :laugh:

Walked away while the guy was pulling parts out of the garage.

 

Not quite the same thing Brian,but I have a recollection of a father and son team,doing body work on a pass side quarter panel of a 1969 Buick Skylark. They were doing the body work out on the one way street in front of their house ,and always had the pass side of car towards curb. I used to pass the car riding my bicycle going to a friends house daily.

The pass QP looked like someone had driven a battle axe into top on the quarter panel ,about a foot behind the pass door. The QP was split wide open there ? The father and son team ,kept mixing gallons of bondo,and pouring it into the hole,till they could fill it level. I saw the daily progress as I'd pass by on way to friends house. More and more bondo. ou:

I was just a kid then (maybe 11 yrs old) but even then I knew there had to be a better way. There was no way they'd be able to roll down the rear quarter window. LOL

I'd hate to see that 57 after media blasting. I wonder how much would be left? o No:

 

Reminders here of why I generally HATE dealing with folks. Funny stuff, as long as I'm not involved!

I guess he can sleep at night 'cause he says "do your homework". :laugh:

 

I think this guy needs a bigger hood prop. :laugh:

You'd think a few minutes with a weed whip, knock off the moss, move the bench........ or, just pull it out of it's hole wouldn't be too hard to promote interest. :laugh:

 

That ain't no coupe, it's a 2 dr sedan.

 

The best one yet!

I love the speedo waterline. :laugh:
