Seller is a man of few words:

"Barn find 38,000 MI automatic 440 factory v plow very little rust"

And apparently he uses a potato instead of a camera, based on the quality of this:

There is one, in this color combo, in a small town in Oregon near me, but they will not sell it. I try every time I drive through though.

Looks like an older phone on less resolution.
I wonder why it doesn't have amber turn signals that was a 78 feature.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Probably sell the plow off for a grand... I grew up not far from there, but thats a haul for me now.

I was finding it very tempting so I messaged the seller twice, and crickets. Not surprised.

How many cars do you have to sell each year to be called a flipper?

I buy around two to three a year, get them running and sale them. All for a profit.....Am I a flipper?

In my opinion....a flipper doesn't do anything to them, just buy/sell. Putting some sweat equity into the car to improve it, thats not a flipper. Thats just paying yourself for working on the car.
And I don't fault anyone for being a "flipper" either. If I could buy one and sell it the next day for profit, my checking account would say a happy Thank You.

That drive train has got to be whooped. Look at the size of that winged plow.

Flipper shouldn't necessarily be a naughty word IMO. If you can grab a good buy and sell it for a reasonable price, good for you.
