Just look at that.

 

Liked the ‘70-‘77 dash with the ribbon speedo, but that is a dandy looking car. Lovely. Last of the ‘70’s barges. Love the CB. Not to nitpick, but I would have shaken out the drivers mat. Is that mean?

 

I agree. It's no sweat to give it a shake. That's what she said!

Yeah with fees and all that stuff. Plus I thought this was at the edge then, especially a ‘79 with the 400 motor.

 

Took a good hit. about $7000 less then he paid in Jan.

I hope this doesn’t sound unkind, and I certainly don’t mean to offend. But. I have to say. Sometimes I enjoy seeing some of these flippers get their A$$ handed to them. Flipping on Bring a Trailer can be a really costly hobby. I would only hope the ultimate slap would be that the guy who really wanted the car got it for $7,000 less that the flipper ran it up to initially.
