How rare is that color? Not super rare I'm sure but Mecum in twenty rare? Yes I saw the no title.

Just looked at the ad. NOW I'm suspicious. It cleaned up well for $700.

Anyone got a current Carfax subscription to run the plate?

I think the nice pictures are the before it was "stored at my father's" pictures with the vines. Are you not using your Craigslist ad logic?

I have 2 with no titles, and they average out to what they want for that one,I just checked to be sure they wern't Stolen and started taking them apart. I would like to find one, when I pay off the challenge car, that Does have a title,so i could build one for the street. That one a couple weeks ago that had been wrecked and was an AutoX w/manual would have been Ideal.

That's definitely a respray, it's not a stock '84 color. My guess is it's probably a pretty crappy respray too.

I'm carbon-dating the "before" pics to about 2010 by the looks of the license plate.

I thought that colour was a late 90s one?

I never understood the "leave a car to rot in the yard" thing. Maybe it is a project, but the minivan next to it is not. That is a couple hundred at the scrap yard just moldering away

My father left a factory sister car of a London to Sydney Hillman Hunter rot in the back yard. We haven't talked in a while. Not sure if he's still alive. That wasn't his only fault. Believe me. He's not a monster though.

My Porsche '55 356 coupe sat in the side yard for over seven years untouched. It's funny how quickly time passes, it really is. It feels like I just yesterday brought home my MGA, but it's been four years already and it's still sitting out in the back yard covered with thorn bushes, I can no longer even see it from the back deck. Somewhere out there is half of a '59 Fiat 600, I don't even know if there's anything left it worth saving. You just lose track while life goes on.

i ran the plate on carfax as i allways pay for the unlimited service by plate number ( i buy and sell a lot of cars!) it was issued a non actual mileage title in 2003 and a couple more times until this guy bought it in 2012 when another not actual mileage title was issued so i dont know why you say it has no title?

I'm that rare individual that puts my phone away at work but there was a Camaro outside work in this exact color.

Parked over grass for so long that the local vegetation is growing around it like that... Anything metallic under the car is junk.
