Schrödinger's Suburban: 1969 Chevrolet Suburban C20

This next car comes from tipper SecondMouse who writes: Is it for sale, or it's not for sale and you had some time to kill, or what? Here is an interesting 1969 c20 Suburban listed on Craigslist with an equally interesting approach to selling it. The seller says it's not for sale because people will just lowball him, and then says he is looking for a trade, but later suggests you make him an offer if you are a cash buyer.  I could never figure out if the cat was alive or dead either. Maybe you can figure this guy out, here: Find this 1969 Chevrolet Suburban C20 offered for...errr...a trade for something '86 or earlier via craigslist.

Seller Submission: The Beast 1986 GMC 2500 Suburban

This next seller submission is from Tim C.who writes:  I've decided to sell the beast. Its just a rusty but trusty old suburban and it'll probably go to some yokel for $1000 but I'd love to see it go to a good home. We only had it for a few years but it was the car I hauled my newborn triplets around in so it has some serious sentimental value. I'd love to fix it back up but I've go no time or money so I thought I'd see if any one here might like it. Would be a great race car hauler, as long as gas stays cheap, it pulled a drag car before I bought it.  Find the beast, a 1986 GMC 2500 Suburban offered for $1400 in Corning, NY via craigslist.
