A shame... Original owner purchased in 1966. Garage kept since, but has to sell because he's 70 years old and his kids don't want it.

Apparently there were bigger pictures in a previous posting, but friend says the body is in great shape, no rust, straight frame.

Imagine having to sell a car you've owned and taken such great care of for 43 years.

Hmm, I don't mind it :)

maybe it's better he sell it than watch one of his stupid kids wrap it around a tree, that would be epitome of sad

I hope it lands in good hands.

5k for a nice car! would do it if I had the cash.

what can I say...kids these days...

if they were smart they would just put it in storage and let it appreciate in value as a collectors item!

they're not even kids, the guy is 70 his kids have to be at least 30?

im skeptical

70 yrs old and he knows how to use the internet and craigslist ?

wow, big enough to live in!

i know 80 year olds that know how to use the internet and play wow

Yeah, the elderly aren't as technologically inept as they're made out to be.


Too bad his kids don't want the car but to be honest I'd rather let my dad sell a car he doesn't need and enjoy himself with the cash than take the car and not want or use it.

He can have a pretty decent vacation for $5000

GRAND TORINO THAT SHIT!!

i hadnt seen it yet :cry:

dammit SPOILER! (goes back to store to return unopened copy of movie just bought today) :cry:

The kids want their Civic Type-R!!

My dad just called and left a message :D

Pretty sad :( Maybe one day my kids will do the same to me...

what asshole kids haha

of course the kids don't want it
looks like horse shit

Definitely!

My 87 year old great Aunt just added me on Facebook. She uses Ebay.

This car will probably blow the doors off most cars off the line. Wow, classic Magnum..

Hopefully the car will end up with a collector and not in the scrap yard or blown up in a movie.

Not really, the 383 was the base model motor, and the car weighed over 4000lbs. If it had the 440, it'd be a different story.

Dad just talked to dude on the phone. Needs a new roof. He's really thinking of it......

Sweet, post pics if he does get it! The interior is supposed to be kind of rough, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 40+ year old car.

Not a big deal with a convertible anyways. I mean sure, tons of power is great but this particular car should probably be kept bone stock and weekend driven.
