Wow, people are now resorting to pinhole cameras to make their car look better!

Did they print those out and then take a picture of them to put on Criaglist? Really makes you wonder just how old those pictures really are if they don't exist in digital format and how bad the car is if they wouldn't take new ones.

It appears the seller took digital pictures of old snapshots that had faded over the years.  It would probably be reasonable to put the age of the photos at 20 to 30 or more years, which really does raise some legitimate concerns regarding the current condition of the car. laugh

Probably too many weeds (if outside) or too much junk (if garaged) growing up around the car for them to get a recent pic. laugh

My first thought when looking at this was " wow, a crayon drawing of an old car"

I'm thinking that pro street mustang is now in boxes. That faded picture is the last known one of it in car form.

Not CL, but I just witnessed / participated in a Facebook lynching of some idiot selling a used and mediocrely repainted NA Miata hard top for $2,000.  And he got all offended when the torches and pitchforks came out immediately.  For some reason he kept repeating that it was from a "drift car", like that mattered.

Don't get me wrong- it's VERY nice and clean and low mileage... but twenty-thousand dollars for it???

But he wasn't selling the drift car for $2000 (about what the car was worth, including the hard top).  He was trying to sell just the hard top for $2000, and once you take it off the car it is no longer a special dorifto hard top.

FC's are cool and all but sure as hell not $20k cool.

I think $10k would even be pushing it.

Not an FC... either an FB or SA, I can never remember the distinction between the two. FC's were 86-92. But yeah... seems a bit on the high side.
