1936 Coupe on Craigslist.

[GaryU.]

Just saw this listing in Chicago area. Price seems too good to be true, even has a Columbia.

That would be a holy grail car for me.

Methinks if this is for real, the seller has little clue as to value. I'd want to be next to the car and the title, cash in hand... no other way would I make a deal on this car.

This listing smells bad. Scam artist? Listed in Chicago, phone prefix is Memphis? If finished so long ago, why don't the pictures show the newer upgrades supposedly installed? The asking price is fool's bait. Craigslist relies on the consumer to flag phony ads, which will be removed if several readers have flagged them.

Why don’t you call and ask before insinuating fake news? Ya never know.

I called. It is in TN.
We will see how this plays out. It smells odd. However, it's only ten hours away. What else I gotta do?

Excellent. Hopefully it’s all legit.

Sold on Bring a Trailer a couple of years ago for over $40K. Lots of pictures there.

have to admit the '36s always appealed to me.

and my research is that this car was never listed on BAT. or at least not in this condition.

[JayChicago]

Note the current Craigslist ad is using the same pictures, taken in the same field, as the old Bring A Trailer ad.

i'm sure whoever ends up with my cars after my plug's been pulled, will dump them ASAP for whatever they can get. i expect nothing less.

Go Mike Go! Time's a wastin'....And call us when you get there.

If it sounds to good to be true it probably is, but as far as the phone area code . That all went out the window with cell phones. I live in Mo. and my area code is still the same as when I lived in Olympia Washington.

A few years back I looked at a ‘42 Ford locally that was on Craigslist, later while searching all of Craigslist I saw the same pictures advertised in California by a different person. I contacted the local owner and told him someone stole his pictures and was probably trying to scam someone out west. As always buyer beware.

I had a similar situation where the seller gave me an address in Midlothian, IL. It appeared to be possibly an abandoned house. I had a friend in the truck that was armed. I have a feeling if I were alone, I might have gotten mugged.

If you look make sure the paper work matches the ID number on the frame. If you are taking cash also take a partner like Smith and Wesson with you.

A friend called and got a callback from Queen's Auto in Memphis. Said older guy in ill health was the owner and wife wanted to sell. They told him to come down and take a look. I would think Michael Driskell would be on it if it was legit.

[hueyhoolihan]

ha, wife probably wanted that car off the property for years, probably a point of contention since the Regan administration, and now the old man's health's giving her the opportunity that she's been wishing for since the turn of the century. haha...man, getting old can be cruel. smh.

if the car's as good as it looks, i'd feel awfully guilty dickering over the price. i'd probably just pay what's being asked....and even then, i'd still feel a little guilty even being party to the transaction. but heck, the car, once on "the list" was a goner.

[35fordtn]

While if it is in TN I certainly do not have the means to purchase it as the last couple years I have been having to sell some of my cars.. However I encourage you guys to look through their inventory and the prices of the old cars they have a 37 cabriolet listed that is way underpriced. All the old car prices are too cheap to be true.
