What the what?
The oddest thing to me is that the writing is generally probably above-CL-average 'til the last line and a half, which I can't even parse.
In reply to yamaha:
I couldn't help but read that like this
I grew up in that part of the country. Some of the things I've seen would make Darwin do a facepalm

Boy, when that acid kicks in, it kicks in hard.
What I can decipher is that she's trying to sell her inmate boyfriend's precious pickup before he gets out of jail, then she had a stroke but you should still not buy it because you'll get shanked over it.

I'm guessing he'll pause to whale the crap outta her first, which means you have a chance to make a getaway while he's back in for domestic violence charges.
That's how I got one of mine. She sold it to me while he was in prison.
Not that unique a story really.

On the all-time engine displacement scale, 290cid is not even half-way to the largest ever.
Of current production engines, it is just a little over half way. It's smaller than a 350, and a 305.
I don't think it counts as a monster engine. Her boyfriend is going to be so embarrassed!
it's not how big your engine is.. it's how you use it
Ya know, after re-reading the posting, I don't think that was written by a girlfriend. Too many of the words and phrases are those of a male seller.
I rather suspect this a make believe story in order to garner interest.
Who said it was the girlfriend? Washington State has Gay Marriage? The BoyFriend is in prison right?
Ad aside, it's a nice looking truck. I'll bet it's a 292 Inline 6.
my guess is that last line was an uninteded copy/paste error. ...also guessing 292 straight 6.

I once bought a truck from a guy in county jail. He called his girlfriend every night from jail, so I had her ask if he wanted to sell it. She called me the next day and offered it up for bail money-$300.00, I received a collect call from the jail the next day and sealed the deal with him. clean title and extra parts where included..I couldn't believe it. I hope this never happens to me.
divorces are also a good way to get deals on things.. either the wife wants to sell it low just to spite the ex, or the husband wants to sell it low to give less to the ex... either way, you can come out on the winning end of things if the timing is right..

Do y'all remember the Jeff Foxworthy comedy skit: "you know that you are a redneck...."
True story: you know that you are a redneck when you go to court to pick up women. Boyfriend gets sent off to do his 90 days and before she leaves the courtroom, she finds someone else to contribute to the rent and food bill. She wasnt bad looking but kinda reminded me of the bathroom wall scribe who observed that while you may be wildly interested in her, someone else was glad to be rid of her butt.
"...and this baby is coming off the market."

It's Windows. Windows decides to let IE steal context. Now the cursor is magically back in the Craigslist ad.
"...and you will have to hope tjhat she does her furnature all treash dude i was devastated."
^^^This. Context stealing is my absolute biggest gripe about Windows. Why it's allowed to happen is beyond me.
290ci its a big block in the six cylinder world! (I think that's a 292...)
Got it all here. LWB 6 cylinder 3 on the tree pickup, girl with acid and an absent boyfriend. What time does the bank open?
Yesterday I had some guy email me all day about a car I have for sale on Craigslist, then after I answered all his questions he offered me half my asking price "cash tonight". Thinking about this thread I gave him the address of the local corrections facility and told him I would accept his offer. I told him I needed to sell it tonight so I could make bail. Never heard from him after that.
