Default Re: 1936 Coupe on Craigslist.

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.

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?
