    You're a car guy, a wagon lover, and you mingle with the likes of us!---Yea you're nutz! But you seem to have a smart idea. Your wagon ain't worth $4000.............. It's worth way more to us wagon nuts!:thumbs2:

    It's pretty ridiculous. And you have the people who think they know how to flip cars, too. There was a decent '77 Caprice wagon at one point on CL in Dallas. Guy was asking $1500 for it. And I looked at it, and it had no third row, the AC was all cut out, and the woodgrain was horrible. I'm thinking, I could do this, but not at $1500. Offered $600, then $800. No dice. He called back later asking if I could do $1100 but I couldn't. So he sold it for $1000. The subsequent owner did not title it, simply slapped on a set of chrome 20" IROC style wheels and put a CD player in the dash (yes, cutting out the original AM-FM stereo radio), and asked $4500 for it. :naughty:

    I saw the ad several times after that, and the lowest I saw was $2500. Probably sold for $2000 or so. Or maybe he took the IROC wheels out of the offer and broke even, I don't know. Makes me sick.

    Right now there's a guy 15 minutes from me with a '77 Cutlass Supreme coupe. Blue on blue, 30K on a rebuilt Olds 350, plain interior (column shift, split bench), but lots of surface rust and the header panel is beige (been replaced). He had been asking $2000 for some time, then $1500, now $1200. I'm almost to where I could spend $800-1000 on it. About to make an offer, but will probably get beat to it by someone who will throw 22" wire wheels and a body lift kit on it along with bowling ball paint and sparkly tint on the windows. Why? Because us car enthusiasts who like things stock always get lowballed and undercut by the idiots who chop cars up like it's nothing to them.

    I need to go save me some donks. Remove the lift kits. Put steelies and hubcaps on them. Recondition the interiors back to stock. Put in OEM radios. Stuff makes me sick to see it.

    agreed!! got alot of people who want to buy it to slam it on the ground, put dumb a** wheels on it along with a ton of stereo equipment, NOT!! ill keep it regardless of what the offer would be then to see that done to it. Another guy wanted to buy the car just for the motor who knows what he would do to the rest of it, for now its in my garage where its safe from all those morons.
