    It's a nice-looking car, but for that kind of money, he needs a much better description, including what options the car has, and way more than four pretty much useless photos.

    What a P/$$ poor description of the car. First thing it needs are the correct wheelcovers, a lot more pictures ie interior and engine compartment would be nice. The guy just sounds like he wants someone to give him $12 grand, and don’t bother me.

    84 Caprice for $12,000 - dreams are free - & a sucker is born every day
    I'd buy if it had $8,000 cash in the glove box.

    it's not even listed under cars and trucks but antiques - obviously a marketing genius

    There are two persons, back there. He should have had both wearing beehive cuts, before the photo session, if it was about holding the headliner in place

    It's pretty clean for this vintage, other than the headliner and those fugly wheel covers.

    Cheapskate:

    Wants $12,000 (well, $9,500 now) for a $4000 car, won't pay five bucks to list it.

    I see it all the time with other cars. Really, you are going to list a $30k car in the tire and wheels section because you can't pony up $5 to list it with the other cars?

    I'm curious about the Buick tail lights. Toward the end of this generation, around '89 and '90, they were putting Buick tail lamps on some of the Chevies, but they shouldn't have been doing that in 1984...... The seller just being a flipper, most likely doesn't know.

    Krash I felt the same way. If I remember it seemed a tad intermittent. I have seen those and the original style on Chevies and never understood it unless it the A-Typical GM we have it so use it thing. I would but the original style back one as they looked better.

    Yes I would be in at 4K for this for sure. I took me a year to beat down a seller in Oregon who had a 1975 Falcon Ute, he wanted $8500 for a $3k car. I got it for 2K.

    Even if the headliner was in tact. Assume its a 305 and not a 307.

    Based on the engine pic it is a 305.
