Default What a story

There are some classics on Craigslist; this has to be one of them.

According to the author the car has done a lot of "setting" over the last 20 years. He probably made enough money from the eggs to keep him in cigarettes while on his federal vacation.

That was a tough read. I have said it before, I weep for the English language.

Poor car..

Such negativity, this is a bargain of a lifetime and should sell for much more.

I wonder if the seller has legal ownership?

I wonder if the "blew the clutch" might be the blue hose to the clutch?

That was difficult to read.

If murdering the English language is a Federal crime, he got off easy.

Wow. That was pure brilliance. I don't know what you guys are talking about. That is the most honest craigslist ad I've ever read. Usually it's "needs fuel pump"...


Copy/pasted for posterity:


I bought this car many years ago. 1979 928 Porsche 5sp air pw ps pb pdl 4 wheel disk breaks all leather v-8. It was from a broker hired by the original owner. I picked it up in New Jersey. It had set for many years and I was told to take it easy on the way home. However I got on the Jersey pike and let As I went on a almost 10 year extended. When I got into PA I blew the clutch. Had my workers come pick it up with my roll back. Shortly after I got in some trouble with the Feds and they threaten to take it. And since they took one of my vettes I said take it but I am not putting a clutch in it for you. They left it. And I left it set. As they sent me on a all expense paid Federal vacation, it has been setting now for 10 plus years. I am selling it as a parts car as I never finished the title. I have it and will give a power of attorney to complete it at your expense. Sold as is. Everything worked when parked except clutch as said. If interested text me 419-217-5231 Will also consider trade for ?????

I really didn't see much English in that post. Lots of strange letter combinations but not much English. I bet his teacher is turning in her(his) grave right now.

Looks like he did some "setting" himself.

I always skip the Big 3 and buy my Porsche 928 parts from a convicted Federal felon with no title to the car he is parting out. What could possibly go wrong?
