On my LOCAL CRAIGSLIST, but I'm having trouble trying to decipher what he's trying to get accross!

Quote

1970 wanted to have super sport Camero LS motor Dart angle plug 202 fully heads
Fort Warner Superchick and transmission Schatar Shell Hearst for state v gate shifter centerline will centreline wheels
The car is taking apart it is a project car serious builders only Price is firm no negotiations
6500

I think he has a 1970 SS with an LS engine and Dart 2.02 heads for sale, but some of it is gibberish.

Fort Warner Superchick = Some kind of Borg Warner transmission?? Super T-10 maybe?
Schatar Shell Hearst for state V gate = Hurst V-Gate shifter and a high stall torque converter??
centerline will centreline wheels = Centerline wheels I'm assuming

Nice job of interpretation, Ed..

(You've been reading gibberish ads for many years I suspect)..

bertfam · « **Reply #2 on:** April 18, 2016, 02:51:33 PM »

It's the transmission part that has me stumped. Can't be a high stall torque converter AND a Borg Warner Super T-10. I THINK it's a T-10, but what the heck is "Schatar Shell"?

Ed

maybe 'Schatar' is for 'Schieffer'?? (clutch )

This sounds like the jibberish you get sometimes when you use talk to text.

BULLITT65 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2016, 03:03:21 PM »

Ok I think I got it.
How about Borg Warner trans with a super stick?
Scatter shield
Hurst V gate shifter.

The thing that threw me, is the title of the ad says numbers matching, so not sure what this means to this guy.

I am guessing he is a victim of spell check for the description.

buenymayor · « **Reply #6 on:** April 18, 2016, 03:04:13 PM »

I think he's trying to sell a car. That whole ad is a CF. Time to start over, buddy.

Yeah, and no posting ads after drinking.

jdv69z · « **Reply #8 on:** April 18, 2016, 03:40:15 PM »

I think "fully" heads is "fuelie" heads. Just say it really fast and like you're intoxicated and it comes out perfectly!!

Every time I read "superchick", I can't help laughing. Like it's Roadrunner or something.

bcmiller · « **Reply #9 on:** April 18, 2016, 03:50:08 PM »

Make a phone call to see what he has. Very messed up ad.

bertfam · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2016, 04:00:33 PM »

Well, after a Google search I finally found "Superchick". And if SHE comes with the car, I'm in!!

Maybe English is his second language.

Probably 38-24-36 (couldn't resist).

Poster looks to be right date, too - about 1970 ?

Regards,
Steve

That makes sense Paul. I think you got it.

The movie debuted in 1973 so you're close.

Hey, hey, watch it as I've been called "super Chick" many times. LOL

JRC99 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2016, 02:02:55 AM »

It's been edited. Still spelled Hurst wrong, but now I can at least get the gist of it.

69 Zee · « **Reply #19 on:** April 19, 2016, 02:42:32 AM »

The earlier version of the ad started off as a '71-1/2. Now it's a '73 "CAMERO"..lol, I'm guessing was changed to match the movie poster

You know, where I live ads, like this, are fairly common. Appalachia is a place where English should be taught as a 2nd language, I say, lol! In fact, just a month ago on the Cincinnati CL an ad for a " munchies " transmission was posted. This could almost be a whole new section of topics posted about strange and humorous ads seen.

Being the ad is from LA - as in Los Angeles...

Seller in New Mexico.. 505 area code

los angeles >
central LA >

cars & trucks - by owner

It looks like the add is listed in the wrong area. I was looking at the header. You are correct, the map shows just outside of Alburquerque

restore-z28 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2016, 07:11:02 PM »

Ed I cannot believe you figured most of that ad out, seemed like gibberish to me. Dude must have been drunk when he typed that out

JRC99 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 23, 2016, 10:27:29 AM »

Hang on, the ad says LS motor, then also says numbers matching. What? Que? I don't think they had T10s either, did they?
