No links to an ad, no pix, no price but won't take less, selling at a loss because of work bench in the way? $2K to paint over old woodgrain and trim rather than replace or remove.
The whole thing is pretty "unique" to me.

FYI, unless there was an engine swap, these cars to not have the Corvette LT1. They have a detuned version with Iron Heads vs. Aluminum on the Corvette. I really do not recommend you advertise it this way, as it is not true at all.

How much for the workbench? Probably also airbrushed....

This guy has one post, that's for the sole purpose of selling his basic white Roadmaster. He has contributed nothing to the community, and never will.
I wouldn't be bragging about the Corvette engine, as it does not come with one. As for the airbrushing, not a real good job. Just look at the blotches of red all over the place. Cracked door panels, 141K, broken antenna....nothing special here.
We've seen guys like him come and go, just a one and done.

the tire sidewalls look like the hoses on my 87 Pontiac when I bought it, they where nice and shiny in the pics, get it home and look, all the rubber under the hood had a clear coat of paint on it.

For what it's worth I remember when the 94 Roadmasters and Caprices came out and all the press could say is that these cars had Vette engines in them . If you read an enthusiast article they clarified that by saying as we all know that it was a different cam and iron head version .My guess is the seller is trying justify his price using this bit of misinformation .I pulled up the Craigslist ad on the car and was not impressed with the airbrushed wood grain looked tacky to me but it's not my car .I have a line on some 95 LT1 Vette heads that need to be redone so my mine will end up with a Corvette motor . For anyone interested it's posted on the Atlanta Craigslist site under Roadmaster .

An LT1 "y" engine block has 4 bolt mains, all others are 2 bolt including B-d-f blocks.

$8500 firm, definitely not mint, no evidence of a transmission rebuild. At least the driver's limited seat is in great condition.
I agree with the others - sell the workbench.

I'm glad I read the comments
I had one of these, long story short, did a bunch or repairs, flipped it, more or less broke even. Really didn't like the car. New owner loves it. I own (not owned) 40+ cars and trucks, so I get to figure out what works for me and what doesn't. This didn't
Interesting mags, but I prefer the straight spoke. I have them on my '62 Belair (clone)
