‘74 2002 Tii Amazonasgrun VIN 2782098

[bluehills2002]

Price: $100

Location: New Bedford MA

Description:

NM/NA.   I did take a look at it, it appears it has been off the road for many moons. Likely original paint.  Based on some of the engine compartment stickers I suspect it spent some time in Maine (hence the pine needles).  I wonder if Les knows its history.    Great color, I hope someone can get it back on the road.  (Fender/steering column/block VIN match.)

All I have is that it was on Ebay in 2014 in Exeter, NH. Reportedly sold for $3200. It was a non-runner with rust then too.

 

Would be interesting to hear the comments if he does get BAT agree to have it on their auction site.

Maybe the worst ad I've ever read. This would have to be a hell of deal to get me to spend my money with this fella...but then again there is no way to know what kind of a deal it is because THERE IS NO PRICE!

[bluehills2002]

That would make sense, Les.  It clearly has not been on the road since then. Interestingly, he had a ‘74 Tii  granatrot  in the same garage.  Much nicer, but not for sale, so I did not get the VIN on that. It appealed to me, because that’s the same color as my ‘74 base  shown below.

“I know what these cars go for” = “I know what this model of car sells for in excellent condition and I’m going price this in-op car as if it was in excellent condition!” ?

 

But, seriously, this appears to be a very complete and original example from what I see in the few poor photos. The rust situation, however — only hinted at in the photos — could make this a parts car, for any but the most ardent fans.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

No way this car makes it to BAT. But, if it did, the conversations with the seller would be, um, lively. I'd go $3,200. There's a penalty for having to deal with this seller.

Steve is on the money. I would never badmouth someone else’s car, but I did crawl underneath it, and you would need some skills, like VWJake type skills, to make a go of it. The shock towers do not look bad.  But even if copywriting is not his forte, the seller is not a bad guy. I think he would be open to offers.

Actually better than I expected, based on all the surface rust in the engine compartment!

 

I really hope it finds the right buyer this time — one without a beautiful girlfriend... ?

 

Best regards,

Wrong, there is a price...he just won’t tell you what it is...

I like that it's not just unhelpful, it's aggressively unhelpful.

This seller exemplifies what's going wrong with our culture here in the US.  Everything is looked upon with a gamesmanship mentality. 

 

This fool is a tool. 

 

And yes God damn it I have been drinking, so what!?

Not the piano, man, but the microphone smells like a beer.
