    Looks like a good deal. Anybody else notice the pic looks like it was taken in the mid-80's though?

    I believe that is a still photo from "The Terminator" from 1984. Ahnold's Terminator 'borrows' the yellow '79 Caprice Estate early in the film when he is searching for Sarah Connor. Note the California license plate.

    Good catch. I believe you are correct. I watched it a few weeks ago and enjoyed seeing a Caprice that looks so much like one of mine.

    I didn't notice it was a movie still, but if it's the Terminator, that puts my date guess right lol.

    Very dishonest of seller in that first ad not to mention the picture is not the vehicle for sale.

    Really got to keep your antenna up these days when buying stuff.....

    I agree about the dishonesty. Very misleading.

    You are right KK. It is so easy to get suckered in nowadays, particulary with long distance buying over the internet. Having a local go and have a look is so important.

    Quite frankly, I missed all of those clues the rest of you picked up on. I think I'd of been one very disappointed buyer.
