Craigslist 69 - Looks a Little Suspicious

Post by Exit98 »

Does this look a little odd to you?

Pictures are strange although the last one sure looks good.

Kind of in Denise's neighborhood, I wonder if she knows this car.

Looks to me like they were using artistic settings either on the camera or on the computer in post production...but is everything in the engine bay painted black?

Car looks great. If rust free could be a good catch for someone.

the last picture was not shot at the same time as the 1st 3. the 1st 3 are lo res and cant see much other than they armoralled the interior and painted the entire engine compartment black and didnt even bother to mask off the border. I would say they spent a bunch of time on curb appeal.

They may have rustproofed the car at Ziebart. They usually hit the entire engine compartment with the stuff when they did the inner coating.

I brought them my car and told them not to do the engine compartment.

The last photo is likely a current digital photo. The others are actual printed film photos that have been laid on a surface and a digital picture taken of the actual photo. You must take the digital photo from odd angles to prevent glare, and they were possibly re-sized which stretched them. I'll bet the engine bay is normal, the shade of the propped up hood made for bad lighting and its underexposed. The tell tale indicator is the extreme left side of the first photo, there is an angled sliver which is the edge of the actual photo and the underlying surface it was laid on.

This is a pic of my spider with the "magic" filter on an Olympus bridge camera, I think it gives the same effect, nothing too sinister, apart from the fact it probably shouldn`t be used to sell a car...
My two cents ain't worth what it used to be
