Missed it by that much!

Found a 73 mach 1 on tacoma craigslist last night for $1500, needing restoration of course had very little rust and a super straight body. I made the drive very early this morning to be the first to see it. As my luck usually works I was second in line and the first guy bought it:atomic::banghead:

H code, blue glow, blue mach 1 interior, folding seat, tilt wheel. This was well bought!!

Very straight body. Sorry you missed that one!

Damn!!!!

%&+@#, to go see a car early and find that someone is already there "Bites"! Wouldn't be so bad if it was a pile of rust in the shape of a Mustang (Description credit goes to Eric-Mr 4X4). But for once actually had the appearance of a nice straight looking body. Even if a rust bucket, it's worth $1,500.00 just as a parts car.

Not rubbing it in, I'm just old enough to remember Maxwell Smart!

That's a nice mustang for $1500!

Did you leave your name with the seller, just in case???

I hate it when that happens...I'm still kicking myself over a 71 Torino GT I missed a couple months ago....it sold in less than 5 hours...

Hahaha!! I was dating myself when I threw that title up there! I remember watching Get Smart on primetime:jawdrop:

Yea, this BITES!! but there is nothing I could've done any different.

The buyer literally drove in 30 seconds before me:-/

I spent a little time chatting with him and left him my number and the info for this site

The seller knew how bummed I was and i made it clear if for any reason the deal fell through to call me.

I thought this deal was one of those too-good-to-be-true episodes. but for $1,500 I could not go wrong even if it was a big ball of rust. When I went up and looked at the car and saw how good the condition of the body was I was really really really hoping the guy would not buy it. But alas he knew it was a super good deal as well. Oh well, sometimes you the kicker, sometimes you're the ball.

Sorry you missed out on that one. The body appears to be better shape than most start out with, I see a couple of thousand in parts alone.

One other thing of interest...there were 4 guys with trailers that showed up while I was talking with the new owner. They were obviously flippers. I talked with two of them and they admitted to wanting to make some money off this one. 2 were trying by it from the new owner right there! ZERO CLASS!!

That sucks!

I missed a couple this past year. You have to go as soon as you see the ad even if you have to sleep in their driveway, lol. I am not a Chevy guy and I was first to answer an ad for 1970 Chevelle LS6 that had been stored since the mid 70's for $9,000. I called him and told him in was sold that I would be there in the morning to pick up. Car was in Atlanta and he was visiting his daughter in Wisconsin when he posted the ad. Anyway someone must have offered him probably $20,000 I did not get it I had a buyer at $50,000 doing a quick flip based on the pictures. On cl after you contact the seller and get a phone and address flag the ad so it comes down so others will not see it. Sounds not fair but part of doing business in today's internet.
