Chrome bumpers look really dull and what's with the location of that antenna? Body work in order on bonnet and where else?

I too get suspicious of dull chrome due to recent flooding. Salt water will really ruin chrome.

Thats paint, way to even to be corrosion, looks to be the same hue as the wheels

Closest salt water to Atlanta is Charleston - over 200 miles.... Flooding in that area was all fresh water. Bumpers appear to be painted aluminum. The car looks good for the $.

X2 on painted bumpers. I love the welder cables going in the window of your advertisement picture..

That's probably a pretty good car for the money. The hood has a leaf on it that makes it look damaged. its a $3900 car.

No doubt worth the money. I only bring up the chrome issue having been shown a car last year that found it's way here from New Orleans....had dulled out chrome. First time I had seen that.

I would want to have a up close and personal look at the car but other than some minor 'snafus' the car really does not appear to be in too bad of condition. The seller has another B in the driveway and that Buick in the next stall looks decent so more than likely the seller is not some hillbilly looking to unload a bucket of rust. (you all know what I'm referring to)

It's a leaf on the hood--there are several along with pine needles--the cord going in through the door is a drop light. Looking at the car in the next stall, it looks like he keep fairly good care of his cars. Just trying to be fair. :)

It looks like an MGC in the back ground. And a really nice old Mercury Cougar. Bumpers are interesting, why would you paint them and not have them re-chromed.

This is the same guy that was selling the MGC. you can see the same Cougar in the other bay. also looks like a 928 in the backround.

The bumpers may be powder coated.

I live in Marietta and saw the ad. I was put off by the pictures with wires and cables laying in the car. I think some photos of the interior and engine along with some different exterior photos would be better. I also got the impression the bumpers were painted with a spray can to hide bad chrome.

That's my thoughs as someone viewing the ad, no offense to the seller.
