Although Gary has probably the most blunt honest responses I do agree with what Glenn had to say about the emissions testing. I will say that although the car does have a clean title it is in Washington as that is where i now reside up in the pudget sound area and have that in the listing. As far as condition of the motor, it is pulled, even have a pic of it up on the cherry picker in the ad.

To those that have emailed about the motor i did tell them if they were up in my area i have a guy who runs a machine shop specializing in SBC motors that will do short blocks for $150 and long blocks for $300 which is a smoking deal. I myself did price out the rebuild kits which reallly arent even that bad as far as costs go to rebuild it back to stock. Ranging from $350-500 bucks, of course building performance costs more but that's where deciding what you'd want to do comes into play.

I did post an ad awhile back but adjusted my price recently to match my C-list ad (thanks to mrmustang who revised it within hours of contacting him...thank you again) obviously the ebay was a last resort to get something out of the car with 2 ways of buying it, one as is with the aftermarket products or pay a lil extra for a turn key drop in ready motor which i thought maybe id at least give an option to people to have that option if they just didn't know how to go about rebuilding or setting up to have a motor rebuilt.

but like dave, pat n glenn said to me i too think that people are mechanically challenged and in an attempt to not pull my own hair out blame their parents for not teaching guys some basic fundementals in life. im not that old but i remember getting pretty good by age of 13/14 changing out the ole mans u joints on that 86' K5 blazer that just couldnt seem to maintain one for more than a few months. Loved his lessons in life when i bought my first mustang and learned a valuable lesson on not using carb cleaner unless im rebuilding it. after a night of rebuilding the carb she was all ready for the road the next day. i still thank him when im working on my current cars for telling me to go down and see George at NAPA and buy a Chiltons and get a rebuild kit cause he was going to help me. I never realized his help was going to be read the manual and come see me when you bolt it back on LOL!!

Pat n Bob, i agree with what you guys said too cause i have also gotten a bit picky as to what im buying and market prices reflect the economy to a point with more people with less money or out of work. I just thought if I started off the bid at the give away price someone would have bought it by now or at least bid the first time it was up. And yeah there are TONS of tire kickers out there that basically say oh i'll buy it if you ship it to me. So basically they want me to just sign over the title and donate the car to them cause their broke,,,or like Gary said,,,have a WIFE.

I am glad to see im not completely biased thinking that car buyers are not only lazy not wanting to take the time to build their own or want that turn key gem at the dirty low price of a lemon. hopefully in the next 48 hours someone will actually bid on it cause id hate to go having to list it again at the "im already eating it" price.

Thanks again all of you for your advice and insight with your opinions on what the market is reflecting. Ive had alot of feedback on the car from other "car guys" that i know and yours and their opinions seem to be running parallel to one another. I do know one thing i learned from buying a hot rod 8 years ago to now, is gained a lot more experience as to what sells and what has a limited market (2nd gen Camaro's) wont ever be buying one of these cars again!

PS Glenn thank you for looking over my ad and giving me some feedback, i think i'll be taking what you said and revising some of my verbage i used in listing the car.
