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.

[ilvtofu]

Hmm, I don't mind it :)

[ilvtofu]

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

[skyxx]

I hope it lands in good hands.

[asian_speedster]

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

[Razr]

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!

[ilvtofu]

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

[Volvo-brickster]

im skeptical

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

[thumper]

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

[El Bastardo]

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

Definitely!

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

[slammer111]

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.

[Wykydtron]

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

[sonick]

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.

[punkwax]

Poor Ned.

[fliptuner]

Poor Ned.
