    Ha--I've been to that place where the car was photographed! I never saw it around the last time i was there, though, and I would've remembered that Phoenix if I'd seen it.

    Is the seller a dealer? It's certainly a nicely-written ad that sounds like dealer-style chatter. But his problem is a basic one. As nice as the car is, there's just no market for them. No one is beating down the doors looking for the late '70s Pontiac version of a Chevy Nova.

    He calls it an "iconic classic." Iconic to who?

    I always thought the Phoenix had the best styling of the Nova clones.

    If it were close to me I would buy it for that asking price ( OK I would bid him a bit lower )

    No, this Hobo don't partake. Never has, never will. Now, Doritos crumbs and McDonald's wrappers, that's my game.
