HEY Scott, better yet, take the car back! I'll ship it, and I'll eat all of my expenses thus far,and we'll all chalk it up to a learning experience.
That is if you are confident you could sell it , you obviously have better contacts and resources than I do.

Sounds fair, especially seeing he has a buyer in Georgia...... Sorry about your luck......

Could you tell us more on the issue with being a "real Z" or not??????

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

Coming soon,....... I just got off a stretch of 12hr night shifts, and need to get some Z's (NO PUN INTENDED!) Plus the weather here seems to be crapping out on us lately and I don't have any heat in my garage. Stay tuned folks....

Gord, if the door weatherstrips are new then the doors will not shut easily with the windows up. I replaced mine in '85 with new GM strips and they are still tight even after adjusting the glass fuzzies etc.

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

Yes they are new.....or reasonably so.....but not even close to being installed correctly. That's my point a complete half a$$ed effort everywhere you look. Have to slam dr. door and when you do the glass slips up over the drip rail molding. It's just easier to leave the window down a bit, even then you have to give er a good shove. By comparison though the pass. door is almost a perfect fit. Still bugs the hell out of me though that they didn't put all the fasteners on the door trim. Also didn't remove the stainless door edge trim before over-painting the doors. Window flops around like a fish, at least 3in of flop.

69Hurst...Thanks for responding. I think most of us here think your auction did a decent job of making it clear that this was no show car. But in your auction you also stated "ORIGINAL MATCHING ENGINE" . From the engine pad pic posted earlier in this thread it is obvious that someone other than GM stamped that vin on the engine pad. That does have a effect on the value of this car. Maybe you could refund him something in consideration of the engine being wrong.

CHARLIE, DID YOU READ THE LINE THAT SAID ?

"IT WILL BE UP TO THE BUYER TO EVALUATE AND DECIDE IF THIS CAR IS AS AUTHENTIC AS WE THINK IT IS"... ALSO WERE YOU IN THE NORWOOD PLANT IN MAY OF 1970? I DIDNT THINK SO,,, I PUT UP GREAT PICS OF THE TRIM TAG AND BLOCK STAMP, NOT TO MENTION A PIC OF THE TRANS, THE TRANS HAS THE VIN AND DATE OF 5/06, THE ENGINE STAMP HAS 5/09, CHARLIE YOU CANT DETERMINE WHEN THE VIN WAS STAMPED ON THIS PAD, I BELIEVE THE ENGINE WAS BORN IN THIS CAR. THAT IS MY OPINION, I ALSO WASNT IN NORWOOD IN 1970. I MADE IT CLEAR THAT A PROSPECTIVE BUY WILL HAVE TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES. I LIKE HOW YOU DETERMINE THAT I OWE A REFUND. ALL $'S ARE BETWEEN GORD AND I, NOT YENKO.COM AND I. KNOWONE PUT A GUN TO THIS GUYS HEAD, HE CALLED US AND MADE A GOOD OFFER. HE HAD 7 DAYS OF AUCTION TO HIRE AN INSPECTION COMPANY OR FIND SOMEONE OR FLY IN TO BOSTON HIMSELF. HE DESIDED TO FORWARD A DEPOSIT AND HAVE ME END THE AUCTION EARLY. SM



CHARLIE, DID YOU READ THE LINE THAT SAID ?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

BUY THE WAY CHARLY, HOWS YOUR RESTAMPED L89?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

Still restamped and I got about the same lame answer you gave. Do us all a favor and press the CAPS LOCK button on your keyboard.

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

IM SURE YOU INSPECTED A CAR THAT MAGNITUDE PRIOR TO PURCHASE RIGHT? CANT SEEM TO FIND THAT BUTTON YOUR TALKING ABOUT.

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
 

Nope... I went on the dealers word. I buy many cars sight unseen based upon someones word. I try to deal with people that stand behind what they sell and it usually works out great. As I recall, the vin on the Z28 in question is supposed to be down by the oil filter. Maybe Grusum can now check down there for a vin.
