CL Ads - What are they thinking?!

[y2kcrawler]

Ive been shopping around for a car for quite a while now and Ive seemed to notice that on not just a few but almost ALL Craigslist ads they think they have gold.. This one below cracked me up. "Ran when parked" - when was this? 1976?!?

I don't know. I see a pretty straight body and a true suicide rear Linc. Probably numbers matching, or close to it. If nothing else, it's complete. I'd say it's well worth the asking price. Hell, it's worth half that in scrap right now.

At least "ran when parked" -- if honest -- means that there probably isn't a rod sticking thru the block. Doesn't mean it'll crank right up now.

If the numbers match...its worth 3x that.

The only problem I have found with old Lincoln's and Cadillac 's are when they sit it you spend most of your time cleaning and fixing all the power seats and windows .
