DragCat Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 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
Ron Tevis Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Looks like a V8 to me, unless my eyes deceive me... descriptions says it’s a dohc 4 cylinder.. 1 Quote
jft69z Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Its about 30 minutes from me, if someone is interested in it and wants it looked at. Quote
DragCat Posted May 20, 2023 Author Posted May 20, 2023 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
jft69z Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 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

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
Glen Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Junk. Too many things wrong with it from looking at the supplied pix. Hard pass. 3 Quote
