After spending some quality sleeping time at Del Worsham's shop , the car is on it's way here.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Got the car in the shop yesterday. Massive clean up day. Checked the block casting, 512 4 bolt main . 840 heads , reproduction 375 horse carb, XT wheels, 1968 dated 12 bolt 4.11 posi. 1968 M21, 163 Intake .New interior with a big block tach, shifter is tight and works well. Radio delete, who needs one when this thing sounds so good. Changed the oil and filter , set the float levels , checked the initial and total timing. Now i know why you guys like these cars! Those polyglas tires never stop spinning as long as your foot is in it. Lots of acceleration and a fun time as long as the police are not around. Only bad thing is the heater core needs to be replaced, not looking forward to that. Thanks Mark and Kerry for the help!!

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

When you want to feel some real power bring her back this way and we can line her up with the 68 CJ. Are you sure everything is as it should be? Maybe it is just a high rever hp car. Just in case lets make it a 1/8 mile. Wish my car shifted as nicely. Just having fun with you Scott. Glad you are happy and it was fun to be a part of the deal.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

That race thing sounds good ! Ben has a 4.30 gear , C6 , 1968.5 CJ . That would be a good one too!! Thanks for the help Sir.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

For sale again with a bump in price by current owner.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

I was asked to provide a service which entailed two trips to the car, documenting my findings, photographing, test driving and storing the car at my home to await transport. I received nothing to date. Known the seller for quite some time through the 428 Cobra Jet Registry needless to say I am very disapointed in his actions.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

You were not paid for the services you provided?

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

no sir was told a payment was mailed about six weeks ago. I followed up 2 weeks ago and asked why he stated payment was mailed. He stated his mother was in the Hospital. Not my first rodeo and assume he is stiffing me. Jug Head. I would have no problem with a postponed payment and certainly would have empathy regarding an ill parent but he lied so it appears to be BS at this point almost 2 months.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The payment was sent USPS mail 1 week after your friendly reminder. All you had to do was call or mail me about it. Your airing it out here is not the way to go about it. I hope you feel better about it. A new check will be sent out Thursday AM at 9 . Jug Head was one of my favorite cartoon characters, Thanks. Try caring for a relative with Louie Body Dementia for a while , then you can make all the insults you want. Sorry , you were told you would get paid for your services and i meant it.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Kerry , the car is up for sale because my Mom has been put on a waiting list for a nursing home. Because of her problems she has to go into Memory Care. When she gets accepted i have to give them $ 108,000. All is not as some people think when they see things on E Bay. A couple of extra thousand dollars from the car might give me a couple of extra months before i have to sell her house.. That is next.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Yes it is unfortunate to air this on a public forum. It has been proven in the past on other forums to be necessary at times and proof again it works. Thank you and will let you know when it arrives.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

This is only a general statement and not directed at anyone specific.

As my mom would always tell me in my early adult life when it came to dealing with banks or others I owed money to, &quot;Communication, communication, communication!&quot;. I live by that today. I recently had a situation here where I found someone a car and did all that was asked and never received payment. It was not until my threat of going on line and publically posting it (there was an associated thread going on) that I finally got a response. As it turned out it was all a simple misunderstanding and all was well but and if I had only had the communication it never would have led to that. I am a very trusting guy and almost everyone I deal with on this board that I do things for, I perform the service or ship the parts and then wait for payment. I have only been screwed one time and thanks to the board that person is no longer allowed here. Stay in touch with people and communicate when there are issues and things will normally work out for both parties.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Communication, but not on a public forum please. Take it private and work it out before the bad blood gets out of control.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Not in this threads case but sometimes people are doing everyone a service by bringing it public and it can be done diplomatically. Number 1, it can bring resolve and number 2 if it doesn't, it will warn others who might have made the same mistake with that same person. I have saved myself several times due to what someone has posted. It is no different than publically posting issues regarding a car.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

There are two sides to every discussion, and the truth is somewhere in between. I admit my fault of not following up on the payment for the time Kerry spent helping me . But this forum is not the place or manner to get what he thinks is revenge. I am sorry a lapse of my memory has turned into this . Sadly you only cared about the money and not the bigger issue of the problems that delayed your payment..Check sent with tracking this time.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Scott, I am sorry to hear about your Mother. These cars will come and go but you have to take care of her first. I talked to both guys about this car and the history that I knew of it. I thought they were nice car guys and I am sorry to see this happen. I do not think this car will ever find a home but I wish I had the money.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Mark,.Of all the people i have come in contact with about this car you have been far and above the most helpful. Thank You for all the time that you have put into this deal. I can only hope somewhere in the future i can help you also. Scott

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Funny thing happened to payment number 2 . It was sent USPS Priority mail and was lost for 3 days. It got to the destination very late and i am glad it was tracked this time.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

I saw that car multiple time on ebay... I think there is some serious bad issue with this one [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Car is very nice but previous seller was not easy to get answers from or deal with. He made 3 buyers get very nervous about their money at purchase time. I got to deal with the owner and it went much smoother.
