-------I also adamantly agree with Bill P. The owner has the absolute right to ask any price desired. Market will figure it out, and I suspect, if the car is what has been stated, then price may be market correct........Bill S

OR there could be some left on the table... time will tell.
With so many bogus cars out there, it is refreshing to see a real one. Like has been stated earlier... they are only original once... and with that originality comes the ablity to verify that what the seller is representing and what the car actually is are one in the same, and IMHO that is worth a premium!

Re: 69 SS 396 Chevelle Original Paint Burnished Brown
 

That was not what I was hinting at. Like any good business man, the gentlemen who bought the car got a steller buy and is now flipping the car to make a profit. This dates back to the Cloned LS6 discussion. How many people are in this hobby for the money and how many are in it for the cars?

How many miles were put on this Chevelle in the 10 days of ownership?

Re: 69 SS 396 Chevelle Original Paint Burnished Brown
 

At that price you had to figure that it was going to go to a dealer... most other buyers are not going to pull the trigger as quickly. The 69 hugger orange RS survivor that was recently bought by a board member almost went to a dealer... the seller tried to get the Buy it Now buyer to back out, becuase a dealer wanted it.
You have to be quick and spend alot of time on ebay if you want to find the bargains... they (bargains) almost always come on as BIN's and are snapped up quick! You snooze you lose!

------You know,,,,, hobbies like ours need to be financed somehow. Why is it you think that the owner is thinking about nothing but money??? He may have felt there was money left on the table with this car and that the profit will help him finish an expensive restoration on a car he loves and will keep till the day he dies. Thats just one scenario, but we can all think of plenty of others that still involve a love of musclecars. I just dont think its fair to jump to conclusions like this all the time, and I really dont think this nice 69 or the fella selling it has any similarities to the LS6 convert clone.........Bill S

Isnt that the wrong seat covers on it?? they look aftermarket. Since when does a 69 ss get the small pinstripes down the side. Ive seen it on 68's but never a 69. No disrespect but I dont see what everyone else see's I guess. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
