Yup, need to find out if Mike knows this car, and if so, what he thinks of it.
Usually I'd say it's because the seller wants to keep it local if possible, but in this case that doesn't make sense either. Obviously coupes need a national market.
Agreed, CL should be a go-to 1st choice. If there is no interest, so what? Now you know. I recently sold an AH 100/4 complete project, but I knew it would be difficult to ship. Priced "aggressively" and sold in 2 days. Local. Picked up in one truck, one trip. Gone. Always worth a try, in my opinion.
I’ve never seen it.
How long ago was this? We advertise on CL for our repairable vehicles and in our area almost all of the vehicle ads are from businesses. CL charges $5 a listing, which is great if you're a business because they can't get flagged, but we've found that 80% or more of the private party ads are now on facebook marketplace, offerup, etc. Probably because it's free and there's a profile so it's suppose to make it safer to buy and sell.
It was a few years ago but I don't see much of a difference. It's local, easy and the picture quality allowed seems loads better than FB. I think for "run of the mill" cars it could be different but in the context of a collector car, there's not much to loose.
