DragCat Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The listing confused me so I went to the website, can't even get the exterior color correct 🙃 https://www.basilclassiccars.com/inventory/used-1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-0000138571b120481/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragCat Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 The seller doesn't have a good start selling on Ebay, 1 feedback and its negative 🙃 https://www.ebay.com/itm/314601025262?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230105140155%26meid%3D9ee127292e02468fb243885588b8e0f0%26pid%3D101666%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D314601025262%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trksid=p2380057.c101666.m5481&_trkparms=pageci%3Afc255e02-f713-11ed-8882-1a62ee630879|parentrq%3A396492541880ab8e2cb1e13afff55dc4|iid%3A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Basil is one of the larger local dealers. They have Ford, Chevy, Toyota, etc. I'm guessing this is an offshoot of those businesses. Odd that there's only one ebay feedback and 4 transactions. Maybe they just started using ebay? There's certainly a pretty good inventory of cars there on their website (154), but only 3 sold? Maybe someday I'll take a ride out there if I'm bored, if the lazy-boy chair releases it's grip on my azz. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinstripes, exhaust tips 👎🏻. Yep , I would drive it, Amazing how prices have increased since I bought my 71. Thats definitely a consideration in my research. $$$. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep , I would drive it, Amazing how prices have increased since I bought my 71. Thats definitely a consideration in my research. $$$. Let me know, I'll go check it out for you. EDIT: Just noticed it doesn't have the typical 72 rear trim pieces, and the interior door panels & seats aren't 72 either. Brake booster/master look odd too. VIN decodes to 1972 though, 350 2bbl, Baltimore plant. Hmmmm. EDIT #2: So, I googled the VIN, things got real interesting. Took me to this page which has a lot more pictures and details. Hmmm, hmmmm, hmmm.. https://carauctionwatch.com/item/166032764287?make=Chevrolet&model=Monte+Carlo&year=1972 Little more digging found this. Looks like it sold on ebay for $15.5K https://www.ebay.com/itm/166032764287?ff3=2&toolid=10040&campid=5338838859&customid=&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&item=166032764287&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&ufes_redirect=true&nma=true&si=TdRmE%2F%2FiF1HcReihHrQx%2BQrLoB8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.youtube.com/embed/yMb-UcUHnTo?rel=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
