Price: $3500

Location: Kalamazoo MI

Description:

I have had my time with this fun car. It needs paint, some rust but not bad. Shock towers solid. 5 speed kit installed but have the 4 speed gearbox that needs synco in 2nd gear. 

Have a clean passenger door from Dave in CA as well as another weber carb and another manifold. May be more but have not looked in a while. Interior replaced few years back but little 

wear. Have the original seats but those are in marginal condition. She needs a new home.  Best to reach me at   dwdeback@icloud.com

Dave, I'm learning that the protocol is to post to this thread when you send an email.  I'm the one that had an email sent at 11:40 this morning = 10 minutes after you posted (along with about a half dozen additional emails since - ha ha).  Hope you received it.

Thank you!

Stephen

I don’t think so. Almost ten year member, that’s a long con. Also he has way too much public facing info, after a quick gander at the ol google machine I can assure you that last picture was taken in the driveway of David De Back. No scammer goes through that much attention to detail. He’s probably overwhelmed with responses right now because he missed the market by 100-150%.

Ok I could have been hasty, I am a bit of a skeptic when it comes to fantastic deals on the internet. Seats alone in the car are almost 1/2 the asking price

So this is local to me.  I went out today and met Dave.  Great guy, great car.

The car has some rust, maybe new rockers, right fender had a small spot  and a couple spots on the rear quarters.

The car drove great with a 5-speed no less.  Some new shocks wouldn't hurt. Otherwise just normal 2002 small needs.

Dave and I had a pretty honest talk about what the car was worth.

People might hate me but I gave him my opinion on value. It wasn't $3500 and could be twice that.

He's also having second thoughts on selling it. It's the time space thing is his reason and enjoys the car a lot still.

 

I can't speak for the seller but I think he's going to take a few days or a week  then decide what to do with it.

If he does sell it someone would get a great little 2002 that needs just a little love. 

 

regards

Between the seats and grill there’s the $3500.00

He should definitely keep it and fix it.

Makes perfect sense .And thanks for talking some sense to him!

 

In the meantime please keep me in the loop as I am still interested based on your assessment. For $3,500 figured it was mostly just for parts but sounds like an honest car with a future!

Brought this home last week. The car is in great shape and will be saved.

Owner felt he had it long enough and felt it needed a new home.

Was 15 minutes from my house.

He was a bit overwhelmed by all the interest and glad it went local.

He received more than asking but were all happy.

 

Build thread to follow.

Congratulations, looks like a great car
