The ad also says "matching numbers" and yet .....
the VIN tag is the only blurred picture in the batch and there is no corresponding pic of the engine pad. 2 red flags.
no frame, underside or birdcage pictures either. red flag 3,4, and 5.
i like the "earl scheib" description from Joel. His other observations are also very accurate.
underside of hood also looks "rattle can" black. just to pile on !

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Craigs list cars in my opinion are all red flagged unless you are close enough or have someone close enough to take a look for you. Another red flag is if the license plate numbers are not visible or from a state where you can check make model and preferably the owner. Fortunately or unfortunately most states are going not letting people determine the owner by the license plate number. I just wish they would let you determine the car id including color from the plate.

250 hp coupe, nice car (I have a 250hp 4speed 1964 my grand father bought new), but its also not the top of the heap. Coupes NEED to have big motors to get big money. I coulda bought a 65 250hp 4sp convertible with both tops 2 1/2 years ago for 24k, which was at the time a smokin deal, in about the same 4/5 condition as this car. Today its a fair deal, this car here will be a 20k car soon. But it will be a 40k car in 8 years. Who knows? Buy what you like. I'm partial to big blocks in coupes.
