This Great Craigslist Ad For A 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Actually Makes Us Want To Buy The Barge


This Great Craigslist Ad For A 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Actually Makes Us Want To Buy The Barge

Some people are born to sell stuff and the dude listing this 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix on Criagslist is one of them. Do you know what’s appealing about a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix? Exactly, we couldn’t think if anything either. Instead of going for the standard kabuki dance of a Craigslist ad where someone tries to convince a potential buyer that the tired engine, worn interior, and leaking transmission are all parts of the most incredible, rare, and all together awesome car ever assembled, this guy goes the other way and does it with humor. The photos of the car sliding around a dirt lot, perhaps doing a burnout on asphalt, and otherwise looking like a well used late 1970s Pontiac are funny and the copy for the ad will make you smile, too.

Here’s the ad copy in the event the thing gets sold, taken down, or crushed before you click the link:

Are you looking for a nice quiet ride?
A car that sips gas as you commute to the local coffee shop for your fair trade blend as you work on your novel/screenplay/dissertation?
A car that you and the wife can drive out to wine country as you talk about what charities your going to donate to this year?
Well, then you’re a wimp, go buy a Prius.

THIS IS A MAN’S CAR!

It’s a loud, fast, beer chugging, donuts on your neighbors lawn kind car!
It’s a I don’t care about you or your “honor student” kids kind of car!
It’s got a V8, with dual exhaust!
Dings and dents from the poor bastards foolish enough to get in it’s way!
There have been lots of GOOD TIMES in and on the interior!
Cracked windshield from head banging too hard to Judas Priest!
Huge trunk to haul lots of beer!
This machine runs like a pig on fire! (sorry vegans)
Drive fast through the Pearl District, making fake tanned trophy wives jump behind their BMW’s in fear!
Bring down the property values of your entire neighborhood with this parked on your lawn!
Do something worthwhile for once in your miserable life, grow a pair and buy this bad-ass ride!
$1200 or best offer *NOW WITH MORE BADASS ATTITUDE!*
At first we were skeptical of the $1,200 price but when the seller mentioned that he had upped the amount of “bad ass attitude” that made the thing seem far more reasonably priced. Ok, fine $1,200 is still high for this car but we give the guy credit in trying to sell it in a fun way and not getting carried away on a bunch of total horse crap huckster speak when describing the car.

Thanks to Chris Milalr for the tip!

    Ah Oregon, so you can guarantee that the car has never been more than 5 under the speed limit. Grandpa fresh.

    i don’t think $1200 sounds too bad! probably headers and a 150 shot away from 12’s :). my dad has a grandpa fresh 74 that is rotted everywhere. the cruise control and a/c still work like a charm!

    for $1200 from where I’m sitting in Australia I’d pay that all day long….hell, if you could park that in my drive here I’d give you double that…

    actually, i went and looked at it and its not a great deal. the trunk is entirely rusted out and it has a huge delay on the acceleration. It is so gutless and you would definitely be ticketed for how bad that windshield actually is.
