So I'm certain that a few of us are routine - ok, maybe a little obsessive - readers of for sale ads in all sorts of places. Knowing that, there undoubtedly are better ads and some not to good. I recently came across one of my favorite bad ads. It has been santized to protect the author:

19XX Ford F100, primered and ready to paint your color! Runs, needs clutch soon. Serious inquiries only, can be seen by appointment in Smalltown, IL. NO payment plans, shipping, checks, cash only. price lowered $500.00 on 8/1/15; no offers, we have posted several pictures; please do not email for more or other questions; we will be more than happy to show you the truck CASH only we have went down $700 from original pricing - do not ask for bottom dollar...

Any other favorites?

 

My favorite is the poorly chopped, basket-case, frame-swap ad that boasted "all the hard work has been done".

I didn't know that turning it into a pile of scrap was the "hard work". I'm glad I'm taking the easy way out on my build.

 

Yup, the 'nearly done' collection of mostly all the parts.

 

I came across this one today......





ad continues....<br/>there is no bed on the truck / the interior is functionable but could be replaced (seat)<br/><br/>Contact for more Info<br/><br/>odometer has less than 25,000 miles on the body.

 

Classic. .

Those are good ones. This guy says its priced way cheaper than the other ones like it he has seen for sale. Then states he hasnt seen any others like it. Haha

I better call that guy quick, cause I can't find all those reproduced panel parts.

 

This one gave me a chuckle...

1962 Pontiac Grand Prix...This is a great restoration car, with all the original parts and interior... Car ran when it was parked about 29 years ago. Has not been ran since, but at the time was running good.

Priced at $12,500. Surely a nice project for someone, but not at that price, imho.
