I give this guy credit. He probably sat down at his computer and set up an Excel spreadsheet figuring out the economic impact of keeping the car and getting a divorce vs. selling the car. Obviously he figured out what his wife would demand in alimony, and, knowing is wife, she would never remarry just to spite him and to keep him paying that alimony.
On the flip side he had to figure out the personal loss of his treasured car as well as the cost of turning over his testicles along with all the drugs and alcohol he is going to immerse himself in to numb the pain of losing the car and his manhood.
He obviously figured it was cheaper to sell the car.
Or he could be a devious bastard and say, "Fine, I'll sell the car." Then turn around and use that money to buy a Se7en.
I sold a '65 a few years ago for half that, with a 3 speed stick and the 289, in similar condition. And I had a hard time moving it at that price- I asked 12.5 for about a year before I finally got the offer for 10.
Crackpipe. And it goes without saying, who the $%& does that woman think she is? Reminds me of a guy I bought a bunch of Volvo parts off of a few weeks ago. he had a '74 Nova he was restoring for his daughter- daughter loved the car, black with red interior. Wife kept bitching about how the car was the "bane of (her) existence" and how it used "so much gas". She was a few prizes short of a crackerjack box. I saw a price writen on the windshield in shoe polish, and the husband told me he'd written that on there and put the car on craigslist to shut her up, but the price was obviously way to high for what the car was. This works on two levels- first, it ensures the car won't sell, and second, it works as leverage to show the wifey-poo how much that "turd in the garage" is actually worth. The fact that no one is buying it can just be blamed on the economy, or Al Gore, or something.
@mechimike: The only humane thing to do is talk to the guy. Find out why this xx-miserable witch-xx lovely woman wants to xx-cut out his nut sack-xx sacrifice his pide and joy. Then play it his way.
@Tiberiuswise: @Dallifornia: Yeah, I'm a big confused at all the "Nice Price" votes. Nothing special about this car. At all. Other than its owned by a fellow who is unfortunately married to someone who does not share his passion.
That said, I think he's done a good job of finding a price that is high enough to deter sane buyers and low enough to prove to his wife that he really is "trying to sell it". NADA is quite useful in that regard, as is Barret Jackson. Both of which hyperinflate old car values.

The car's nice, but priced too high. Especially for an auto box.

(And I say again, I would rather the other woman be a car than a stripper named Bambi.)

This guy may be using the same tactic.
