FOR SALE 1980 Road Runner Tribute: What is the deal with this car?!

[drksd4848]

This one has had my attention for a bit.

Plymouth Roadrunner 1980 in Waterbury, Norwich, Middletown, New Haven | CT | National Auto Brokers, Inc. | 121226

It's also been on ebay multiple times for $1000 - $2000 less.

And it looks like it's been on here before. First for $8900:
1980 Roadrunner - Tribute - $8900 (Palmer, MA) Craigslist

And then again for $7000:
80 Road Runner Clone $7,000

It's been advertised for awhile. I wonder why it won't sell? I mean, I know it's not a real Volare, let alone a Volare Road Runner and 13-15 grand is too much for it. It's still seems solid in pictures, though. And here it is on Youtube.

Has anyone here gone to see it? And no takers. Why?

It looks like it was a body mans car, mechanically its probably a POS. LOL

One has to wonder...

If he can't document all the work that has been done to it (as in work done professionally versus a dude turning a wrench in his garage) it might be a non-starter. Literally! Ha!

Same car, eh? Looks like picture from the craigslist posting. Before it went to the broker.

$15K for that? Put down the crack pipe, rust free or not. The underside looks like a greasy cobbled mess (makes you wonder about the workmanship on the rest of the car), in one of the close up pics the paint is far from nice, the interior needs work and as mentioned, who knows about the drivetrain?
Even when it was listed for half the price ($7,000) it didn't sell and that makes me think there's something with the car you can't tell by just looking at pictures.

BTW, what the bleep is a "Lakewood Blousfield"?

It's a high performance blinker fluid pump.

BTW, those headers are hanging pretty low aren't they? Better not hit any speed bumps.
