On Kijiji in Lloydminster SK. No photos, seller says this: "77000 original miles 4 door hard top 455 motor auto car is in pretty good shape for its age could be a daily driver dad is 87 and wants to down size. This is a Saskatchewan car" Click screenshot to visit the advertisement
Found 4 photos of the car, in an advertisement that was posted 22 days ago. Asking price back then was CAD 6,000 Click screenshot to visit this older advertisement
Oh geez....I am so tempted to go and pick that up, it's only 4 hours away. "I do not need this...I do not need this...I DO NOT NEED THIS!!!" ARGHHH!!!
It's not free, a buddy of mine got in touch with the owner and he still wants $6 K Canadian for it. We were going to go get it if it was free, and my buddy was prepared to offer $2500 if it wasn't. At close to $2 a litre for gas, it's a $200 plus tank to fill, and you'd need at least a tank and a half to get it here. It's still cheaper and takes just as long to fly, so it sits. There is absolutely no interest in this province for a car like that. It took me 2 years to get rid of a convertible of the same type but a more desirable year and with a smaller motor, and I ended up losing my collective shorts in order to get rid of it. The owner is going to learn the same hard lessons I did; if it isn't a Chevy Bel Air with a clapped out 6, or a bent Nova, it's not wanted and isn't worth a tinker's cuss, no matter how nice it actually is. Nobody pays money for Electras.
The "for free" listing is no longer online. But the CAD 6,000 listing still is.... Good thing that I posted that screenshot. Why would that Charlie guy list the car for free if he still wants to get 6K for it?
No, I think there's more to it in that involves some type of substance abuse while typing online. That's what I might have heard. The Buick is still at $6K, and the Caddy he is also offering that started at $6K is now at $15K.
Yeah, he created a new listing for the "free" Electra, but left the older 6K one online. And he was smart enough to know how to remove the "free" listing after a few days. Same thing with the Cadillac. By the way: that 1984 Cadillac is listed with a 400 engine, shouldn't that be the 4.1 engine?
