I was trolling craigslist for an old pickup yesterday when I saw a posting for a '71 Dodge Challenger convertible for $2500 and thought, "hmmm". I e-mailed the lady and didn't hear back. I check back today and find this:

Cliffnotes: after posting she got inundated with e-mails from prospective buyers, as well as her lawyer telling her to "hold on a second!". Gets car appraised and winds up selling it for $350,000 to a guy from Scottsdale who her lawyer had seen on TV before. I'm guessing Barret-Jackson, but have no idea. I can only guess the car must have been a pace car as most restorations go for $60-70k.
Oh well, back to looking for beater pickups.
