I hope he doesn't have plans for that 24K cause I suspect he may not get it?

1959 chevrolet impala sport coupe

fuel: gas 
title status: clean 
transmission: manual 

You probably know this car..."Pure Evil": the most iconic 59 around.
It's been a fixture on the west coast lowbrow scene forever.

She's been with me through thick and thin for around 25 years and after that long of hard service, the time has come either for a redo or let it go to a good home.
And I DO mean a good home! If you're an asshole who doesn't deserve it, you can't have it.
Why? Because I have more money than brains, which isn't really saying much.
This car is the dictionary definition of cool. 
You know it. I know it.

The point is: I always had the vision of myself going out in a fireball on a mountain road in this car. A few weeks ago, after the afore-mentioned years of noble service, the rear axle bearing gave out at the top of the Hope slide hill, presenting me with the experience of a 6.5 km rollercoaster ride without brakes!
AMAZINGLY, when the rubber smoke had cleared, and my dog had calmed down a bit, I surveyed the damage I thought would be extreme. The chromie was sitting in the middle of a conveyor belt of rubber, and the wheelwell lip was slightly bent. The tow cost more than the repair.

A miracle? Maybe....

So, being a superstitious sort of person I gave it some thought.
IF that was my moment to live out my death in the envisioned fireball, why didn't it happen? 
Maybe it's time for a change...shake off the old. That sort of thing.

Here's the deal:
1959 Impala 2 door sport coupe
Mild custom. 350 with 194 heads, 3 speed overdrive standard on the column. 64 Buick interior that's seen it's best days. I have the original rear seats but the fronts are gone many moons ago.
Central Oregon car, one piece bumpers. Original color was Roman Red. 
Original 348 Tripower can be included, if I like you enough.
Ratty, loud and full of attitude. A lot like me in that respect.
The windshield is cracked. I was on my way to have it replaced. I have all new weatherstrip and front and rear rubber, along with fenderskirts and hardware, if you're so inclined.
I'm pretty sure I kept most of the shiny stuff I took off, door handles, extra tailights, hubcaps, that sort of thing.
This car has been everywhere: Austin, Texas and back (6000 miles in 7 days driving!), California repeatedly, and about a million other places in between.
When I say ratty, I mean it. The 20 year old paint job has the patina that only hard living can put on a car...or on a person for that matter.
The flames are the very last set put on by Lowbrow legend 12 Midnite before his Motion Sickness Studio on Clark and Hastings burned down years ago and I don't have the heart to sand them off, despite the toll the weather and decades of East Van road rash have taken.
Like I say, it's time for a redo, and this car really deserves a full restoration.
The floors are getting a little crispy here and there, but are serviceable. 
I just can't see me parking a restored and gleaming red Impala on the street in East Van and coming out every morning to see the past evening's damage.
Plus, I only drive black cars anyway.

This isn't the sort of car you ask your wife about. If she doesn't get it, you need a new wife. I'm sure she's nice enough but she just doesn't "get" you, y'know? 
And don't think you'll be scoring with chicks, either. This car scares 'em. You'll be talking to a lot of ugly guys though. Be forewarned.

So here's your one and only chance. Ever.
Being superstitious, as I've said, I'm giving you 12 days to cough up 24 grand.

12 days.
After that time, I pull it off the road and it stays mine forever.
And you will have missed it.
That's how these things work.

You say it isn't worth that much? 
That's what it costs. What did you pay for that Dodge pickup you're driving that nobody cares has the deluxe interior and super special coffee holders?
Right!?!

Right now, it's up in Princeton keeping my other cars company. 

Bring cash and a trailer. I didn't replace the bearing myself, so I can't be100% confidant in the work. It should be fine, but bring a trailer if you're going to be going very far, just to be safe.

Oh, and part trades will be considered, but ONLY pre-67 pickups, 2 door wagons, or a sedan delivery. Seriously. The current offer is 22,500 and a Honda. A freaking Honda! Really?
Suffice it to say, he's still driving his Honda.

Save your rants and raves, please and thank you. I'm not lonely and I have enough friends.

You have 12 Days to decide.
Do govern yourself accordingly.
