Best Craigslist Black Friday Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs for sale
As is to be expected from any ad that asks for six figures for a replica of an old car, the listing for this American ’33 Ford Speed is written entirely in capital letters. The seller seems to think they’re discounting us all here, claiming that the car was appraised in 2014 at $185,000 and can’t be reproduced for less than $250,000.
