Interesting bit about this car. When I had pulled the seats out, I found this bracelet. I showed it to Shannon and was planning on throwing it away, but she told me she thought it was real. I checked it over again, and found a 10k stamped on it. I brought it to a couple jewelry stores and town, and was able to get $200 cash for it!

You go!!!!!!!!! looks like we all could learn something from haro, me especially! - BC

I think I forgot to mention that I finised this car... here are the pics: http://andrewsuderman.com/02ssei2.html

I listed it in the beginning of the month for $5900. Sold it to the first person that test drove it for $5500.

On the last few project cars, I've noticed that they aren't selling to people that saw them on craigslist... local people are seeing them parked directly on a well-traveled highway. I have professional looking dealer price tags and plenty of information plastered on the windows. I also have a pretty good standing going with the local people, it seems that every month or so people are asking when the next one is coming up.

I park them right where these old Mopars are parked: http://g.co/maps/s7997

Just like my Burb. Had ads on Craigslist and Autotrader and the most interest came from people driving by. It helps that I live on a busy street.

For the record, we use Super Clean, or similar, mixed 50/50 on leather, vinyl, and upholstry with our steam cleaner. Works pretty good.

I like that you are developing a following in your town. Although I'm not surprised. You found a great place to park them though! Pretty awesome contrast with those old Mopars alongside them.

How many of these cars that are sold locally do you still see? Do you keep in contact with the owners at all? Are they generally pretty well cared for? J/W

I would be devastated to see these cars all torn apart within months of you selling them...especially after the work you put into them to make them reliable and presentable for the next owners..

There are so many Bonnevilles running around here, that's its hard to know which ones I have had my finger on.

As far as I know, I don't see any of them regularily. Usually, I don't hear from the owner after the sale.
