I was perusing the classifieds (spending some imaginary money), when I happened to spy a 1967 Ferrari 330GTC in mint condition for a reasonable £8900 pounds.


The seller is also advertising the following cars too.

1967 Corvette Coupe 427/390HP (£11,000)
1970 Dodge Challenger T/A (£7,900)
1957 Porsche 356 356A (£7,000)
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge (£7,500)

I'm really struggling to decide whether to buy the '67 Ferrari or the '67 Vette?

Any ideas? Or shall I just buy them both?

Eh? None of those prices can be right unless they're all total restoration needing wrecks, especially the Ferrari.

Nope, they haven't dragged out of a lake, they all "look" in mint condition.

Maybe they've been dragged out of a Nigerian lake!

No way those pics were taken in the UK, and they look rather grainy, like a retro pic might be.

Send the seller an email asking them why the prices are so low, might be a genuine reason (eg. selling them cheaply so the ex wife gets screwed over) more likely that those prices are the deposit hehe

Reminds me of the saying....

"if something looks to good to be true....it probably is".

The 70 challenger is one of my all time favourite cars, so much so that I know that examples that are as good as the one for sale here regularly exchange hands for circa 10 x the sellers asking price.

OP, I would probably avoid sending this guy a holding deposit via electronic transfer...

Erm sorry to burst your bubble but the link you posted is black with a red interior, the one the OP posted is red with a tan interior.

And that will be why you deleted your post hehe

I'm devastated. I rang the number and a nice lady told me that the number I had dialed has not been recognised!
