1966 Needs assembly and price

[belmateo]

Located near Sacramento California for anyone looking for a summertime project with what looks like many parts.

Looks like it was going British racing green judging from the pictures.

Prefer to sell the whole car for parts or as a builder. At this point it is a complete roller. There might be a few spares as I had a parts car in the past. The engine ran at the time of removal, with 4 speed transmission. NO overdrive. This car and all the removed parts have been in a garage for 20 years.

Offers considered. NO low ballers.

There are no Tiger conversion parts, this is a stock 4 cylinder Alpine.

The body has been dipped and almost everything straightened. Very little rust was found. There was previous body damage.
Fuel tanks cleaned out, coated inside and out. Soft and hard tops available.

Parts condition are fair (used parts) but consider everything as salvage. Can't locate the odometer.

Let me hear from you, thanks for looking.

Seller needs to decide what exactly they're doing with all of this instead of posting a vague blanket ad with "How my mood at the moment is" pricing that's missing pics of cool valuable stuff like hardtops with. I get it's to drum up interest but I'd rather drum up sales if it was me. The "Everything as salvage" part would make me wonder if that includes the title.

Totally agree Scotty, like an old Mentor I had when I was a kid. poop or get off the pot!

I'm not trying to be mean, it looks really solid, it's just annoying because at least in my experience dealing with folks, if they don't have a set price in mind, they'll agree to you one price and then it changes five minutes later or they sell it to someone else and this is when you're coming with cash in hand. I tend to ignore this kind of 'ad', even more so when they start posting pricing and get desperate because the fish are biting elsewhere.

Maybe I'm just too nitpicky or particular.

I've seen it advertised elsewhere... When someone says they aren't trying to sell it....or testing the market ....Then walk away .. when they are wanting to sell it...they can give a price... At least a starting point... Otherwise they can happily hang onto it till they decide in 2 years that they still can't be bothered

Sounds like the owner can't make up his mind if it was listed before and not sold.

Since its on Craigslist they don't charge for a auto parts as. Beware of a guy so stinking cheap he avoids a 5 dollar paywall....
He could post it here for a 5 dollar membership or on other forums but there's other paywalls and even minimum posting requirements membership. Or he could go to Fakebook or offer up for free since they are the big bully gobbling up content.
One of my favorite forums since the invention of the WWW by Al Gore
TheSamba.com requires a price for a free ad or their moderators axe it with no mercy. Too bad Craigslist is reliant on their antique flagging self police method.

My thoughts is put up a price you can always drop it . Only one time have I had a seller raise a price after I got to see the car and no, I walked away and saw the car again in another listing...
