Any sane car person would know there is zero special about that car except that it is in fair to good shape.
Hot rods of that era bring the money not grandma's daily driver.

Both the same poster he seems to be on drugs from what I can tell !

I decided to waste time and read the disjointed Craigslist posts my brother had a a buddy and bought it but wanted the trailer it to keep the miles down and it’s from the 90’s. OK easy on the meth for a day or two!

The money asked could get you The finest examples of both cars available!

Exactly.
Remember...Barret is coming soon.

I drove by this car on the way to moms every other day in highschool. Ive always wondered what he was doing with it. Its sat in that spot for at least 6 years. And i think much much longer than that. Crazy its finally for sale

Just the asking price is ridiculous let alone the back story.
The story on the title is a load of as well.'s better than that car.

There is a 71 Riviara in front of the shop. It has 80K on the clock and in much better condition than that one. SIL gave $1800 for it and drove it home from down your way. We have been getting it fixed up as his money allows.
$4900 for that turd is insane.

So leaf springs....Multi-leaf? Split-leaf? Mono-leaf?

 

[Brad69]

I just go to a truck spring shop and have them re arch and add a leaf if necessary?
Since its a Nova Pontiac you can probably get aftermarket springs for like 29.99

Be honest with yourself; it's kinda like buying an AR, no such thing as no options!

Hey now, that’s the price for the IRS setup. I can’t get the price to come up standard 4 link coil set up. It’s only $10k for the A body.
