i think if you had of been bothered to pull it out and take some pics it would have sold quite fast and for what you were originally asking
after seeing the pics the buyer posted i know i for one am very dissapointed that i didn't take the chance of a 4 hour each way drive to have a look at it, unless there's something scarey that's not noticable in the pics i would have bought it

[WIGGSFC]

Would have to agree with you ratbox

I did ask for some photos to be posted, it would have been good to have the pigeon pair.

as i stated earlier i dont know how to post photos nor am i interested,not for 2000 bucks anyhow, i think that if you were interested in buying a car you would at least ring from the description i gave but i dont recall any of you ringing, i travelled a 10 hour round trip to view fc ute without photos and come home with one of the best utes in the country,all i got was emails asking is it still for sale, i cant believe you have to see a photo to get motivated to say oh i would have had a look,has the trading post got photos of every car? NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU GO!

Boss if you remember I rang and came and looked at this Wagon [6 hour round trip ]when you first put it up for sale ,I don't think the photo's give a true indication of the amount of rust in this car ...Your other FC's are great ......FC427......

yes but in todays day and age it's so simple to post pics, i wish i had a dollar for every piece of sh#t that i drove miles to look at based on what the seller told me one guy rang the cops on me cause he thought i was gunna kill him

on the other hand "NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU GO" is quite true also

Is it just me or has buying cars out of the "TRADING POST" become a lost art form in this day and age?  Seems most cars are now on carsales, carpoint, forums such as this and/or ebay where having pictures is a MUST.

End of the day if you want to sell a car in the modern world, the internet is your first point of call.  People ALWAYS judge a book by its cover or to bring it into context a car add by its  pictures.  Same is now true when you buy a house, if you dont like the look of the pictures on the internet add, NOTHING in the description is going to make you go out and look at it.

Some call it time saving, others laziness............but I think there are 2 morals to this story.

1.  As a seller give yourself the BEST possible chance of selling the vehicle by having a good add with as much detail/description as possible AND a picture can sometimes be worth 1000 words!

2.  As a buyer, you never know what might lurk in those far off lands where the seller may not have the ability to take OR post a good photo.  If you miss a bargian because you were too lazy to make a call and go for a drive you have no one to blame but yourself!!!

The Trading Post started a quick downhill slide the second they sold out to Telstra (Sensis).

Hi i just noticed some of these later posts, i  should have posted a few pictures of the front of the car, you are right" FC 427" the car does have a bit of rust mainly up front, needs two front guards,bonnet,panel behind front bumper,cowl vent and panel and all bumpers ,all doors have some rust,body is sound small hole in drivers floor. The car starts ,drives, stops every thing works.I didnt mean to make it sound like something its not,but for what i paid for it i thought it was a decent buy
