RE: {Chrysler 300} 300C Project in Utah

It is interesting in how poor a job a lot of people so when posting to sell a classic car. Then they bitch about too many calls and it taking a long time to get it sold.

Last month a neighbor of mine here in San Francisco came and asked me what I thought her late fathers 1954 Austin Healey 100-4 was worth.

Apparently, her dad purchased it new in 1954 and eloped in it to Tijuana in 1960. He drove to work every day here in SF as a high school teacher then principle through the 1960’s and into the 1980’s.

I did a thorough examination of the car with photos and posted it on Craigslist and on the international Healey mail list.

Sold in 24 hours to Peter Kumar (gullwing motor cars). I had sold them my 190SL about 10 years ago.

Their comments were that my descriptions and photos were perfect, and they purchased the car sign unseen, just like the 190SL.

I do wish people did a better job on advertisements.

My biggest grip is the failure to post photos of the body condition prior to the paint job. People list cars saying the body was repaired or restored and yet fail to have photos of the work done. Sure, one can wand it and see that there is no deep Bondo, but that will not show if the metal is patchwork of steel.

Posting a few crappy cell phone photos with very little detail added is a wrong-headed approach to selling a car. Also, he seems to be asking 1000, but he’s actually looking for the highest offer. So that is somewhat misleading.

Note: Yes, I know this isn’t your car, Peter. My comments are for folks looking to post a car for sale.

Not mine, just saw online, no engine, but appears to be a fairly clean black C.
