Norsky- thanks so much for the links! That red vert is right by my house and I’ll be going to look at it this weekend if the other buyer falls through.  

Guessing the car close to you has sold as the link has gone away (hopefully you snagged it as it looked like a beauty).

If not, another source that I look at occasionally (for curiosity) is the Bring A Trailer auction website.  Cars listed there usually sell for top dollar but it is fun to look anyway.

Hey Jim,  The car that's close to me (red big block vert) has a potential buyer flying in to Detroit to look at it this weekend.  The seller (super nice guy) said that he'll call me when the guy leaves his house to tell me if the car sold or not.  His ad on craigslist expired cuz it's over 90 days old.  He's still got the car, but is holding it for the guy flying in.

I've been keeping my eyes on BAT as well.  A lot of those cars are far away, but if they're within a 5hr drive to me, I'll give them serious considering since I can go inspect them before plunking down a final bid.  Thanks for mentioning their site, though!

I'm still on the hunt.  :)

Update: victory is mine! Jim- that Craigslist big block car’s seller reached out to me stating that his buyer flaked out and offered the car to me.  I bought it.  It’s a very solid car and runs/drives beautifully.  Thank you for your help locating this fine machine. 😊

Very nice ride! Bumper Cars aren't always in the carnival. Enjoy it!

Congrats on the purchase!!! She looks to be a beauty. I’ll look for you out on Woodward next summer!  

Thanks, Jim! Looking forward to seeing you out there in the boulevard!  I used my new purchase to run some errands today and quickly realized how much I miss driving a stick. I can’t wait for the warm weather to return.  Brian at Mastworks said your car is extremely nice, by the way.  

Thank you!!🙏  there’s nothing quite like chrome bumpers on a C3.  ❤️

MOST EXCELLENT...!!!   👍 👍 👍  Glad it worked out for you...!!!

From the write-up and the pictures I saw on the CraigsList ad it certainly looked like a beauty.  Enjoy the living daylights out of it...!!!

Thanks, Jim.  And too funny on your "MOST EXCELLENT", because I often use that phrase.  Bill & Ted taught me that one. :)

I was using this cool car to run errands yesterday afternoon and was in heaven.  The sounds, the feels, the smells... everything was right on the money.  Now it's gonna make me wish winter away more than I can remember in a long time.  Good things come to those who wait, right?
