greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

greensboro had its 1st muscle car show and drag car show. it was great, a larger crowd than vettefest, a lot of drag cars and some musclecars. it was packed all day elbow to elbow. lapata and volpicelli even came. tim got and interview with big daddy don garlits on his funny car which lasted about 10 minutes and will be on ESPN and speed vision. big daddy loved the car and vowed to help find out its history.
then came my surprise, big daddy approached me and said can we interview you on your Sox and Martin 68 cuda and was amazed at its original state 14,000 miles and condition. he knew the car and couldn't believe the condition. the camera guy talked to me for 10 minutes after he shot the car and interviewed me with big daddy! i was in awe. i had the car for sale, and since have considered not selling it. that car got more attention than any car at the show as we are only 20 minutes from burlington, nc, where the car is from. it's only 20 minutes from it original home. it was driven to the west coast twice and ohio once as it raced in the superstock division and came in 2nd at the 68 winternationals. it has 2 build sheets, letters from ronnie sox and gas slips where he purchased gas in los angeles before heading to pomona. it has been featured in 15-20 magazines and currently has a mopar small block bored to 415 ci. and pushes 575hp. original sheet meteal and interior except carpet. engine compartment brand new and body in excellent condition, paint extra nice!
AND THE BEST PART IS THAT IT WILL BE ON ESPN AND SPEEDVISION AS WELL! well its nothing like getting a pat on the back and stroked by the big daddy himnself! it was a great show, i hope it will bring in even more of a crowd next year, make plans to go if it does. sorry to bore you guys , but , it was blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Kevin,
Make sure to post the time when it will be shown!

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

ESPN & ESPN2 both have o their web sites when different shows will be shown. It took about a month and a half to get the SuperChevy LV show aired so everyone should be able to find out whe. Be ready for replays late at night or early mornings

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Great! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] Now the price of your shirts are going up and I will have to make an appointment to talk with you the next time we are at a show together! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Nice going.........."Mr." Hand.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Congrats, Kevin, can't beat gettin' chummy with Big Daddy [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] It was thoughtful of Chrysler to put a 150 mph speedo in that 'Cuda [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Bill,
Look again. It's only a 15 MPH speedo. That accounts for the low mileage. It took forever to get 14K on that car at 15 MPH. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Congratulations Kevin. Did you get any pix of Big with the car? Must feel pretty good to have Big Daddy come looking for you. Be sure to keep us posted about the airing of the interview. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

they are to inform me of when it will air. maybe espn or espn2, possibly speedvision. i would think most likely speedvision. they will send me a copy of the tape and when it is suppose to run. it sure made my day! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

should be ESPN2 on the Mothers Polish Car Show. At least thats where Big Daddy does his show and interviews on.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

when does that normally air? certain time of day or certain evening? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

They could air it anytime, you got to keep a good eye on your TV guide!

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Cool car Kevin. I think BIG may have been mistaken that your car ran in S/S though. I think it ran E/S with a 340 c.i. engine. I have seen the S/S Hemi car and heard it run (wish I had earplugs).It lives next to another mildly famous Hemi car here in the icy Chicago area ! Gee,who could that be ? Next time I will ask for earplugs ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Looks like the "infomercial" above paid off.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

bluff bidder, did not meet reserve which was considerably higher! the reserve was $100,000 ,the bidder put in a bid of $101,210 which made it meet the reserve. i hate ebay auctions, last time i'll ever list a car there. a lot of flakes playing games. 1 of 1 made , original sheet metal, i don't think so! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

I'm confused. Auction ended, listing said the reserve was met and the car rightly sold for 52K plus change to the highest bidder-whoever that may be. Therefore the high bidder gets the car right?. How can you reset the reserve at 100K after auction ended when according to Ebay the reserve was met at 50K and the high bidder won? Even at 52K your making a profit from what I remember you bought the car on Ebay for a few months ago.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

That is the "privecy act 101 " 2003 edition you did not read that?" mmm [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

I see there is NO bid retraction/cancellation history on the auction, so who is the "flake bidder" at 101210.00 ???And id love to know how in the world a seller knows how much over reserve the buyer went???? If bidder bid 101210.00 and the reserve WAS 100k,bid would have stopped at 100k..... Ill bet the bidder is going to hate ebay auctions after this too...

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

THIS EBAY THING....................has become a joke!.. everyone is using it as a testing field for price! LIST YOUR ITEM FOR WHAT IS FAIR not what you can get! c'mon think!!!!!!!!!!! the entire hobby is going for SHIZZNET!!!! Help the hobbie!!!! don"t hurt it!!!! $$$$$$$$ money money money!!!!!!!! WTF [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] THINK GUYS!!!

<font color="blue">Even at 52K your making a profit from what I remember you bought the car on Ebay for a few months ago. </font color>

whitetop, does it matter what he paid for the car and how much profit he makes? He wants $100k for a documented drag car driven by probably the most popular name in racing besides Petty &amp; Earnhardt. What I don't understand is the thinking that people have towards what people should be allowed to make on a car. If I buy a car that is worth $200k on the open market and give only $50k for it what is a fair price? $75k? I don't think so! A fair price is $200k, why would I want to sell for less? Should it matter that I clear $150k? No. Now lets say I bought the same car for $160k and sell it for $200k, is that a better deal since I would make less money?

You buy and sell parts just like I do, sometimes you pay only $100 for a rack of gauges that is worth $450. Why don't you sell them for $250.00 instead and make only $150 over what you paid and pass that $200 savings onto the person you sell them to? Now you may do that for someone you know, and you have done that, but when it is on Ebay or at a swap meet you sell them for all that you can get just like I do. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Now this post is not to degrade you, but to degrade the statement you made. I have heard the same type of statement from other guys on this board about other cars for sale and this thinking is wrong. If the seller wants $200k and takes $160k and still makes $110k profit it should not matter as the buyer got a 20% discount on the market value of the car. So when he goes to sell it there is still room for profit for him to make, maybe not as much, but it is still a profit.

Right or wrong, another car bashed unjustly!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

A person has a right to ask whatever they want on a part or car,if someone doesnt like it they dont have to bid.I guess nice guys are the ones that give thier stuff away or sell it cheap. But that is NOT the point here at all.The point is it appears by the auction results and bid history that the buyer legally won the car and the seller seems to be reluctant in selling it now,and wants more money after the auction ended .I thought i saw a post recently on sellers getting slammed for backing out of deals, or selling cars out from under buyers to others for more money[and these were over handshakes,not legal binding contracts]..it didnt go over well with most here to say the least,perhaps this case is different?..... I still want to know who the phantom bidder of 101k was,he didnt retract his bid according to Ebay records on the auction..

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Yountto, perfectly said about backing out of deals. Could not have said it better. I'll respond later tonight or tomorrow. I'm preparing my response like Collin Powell before the UN.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Kloneco, In a auction, it is the bidder who sets the price. Sometimes I pay too much for something on ebay, but I don't blame the seller.
In this case, it looks like there is a "LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT!" at 52k

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Wow! I need to take lessons from you guys! All this time I thought you were supposed to sell cars at less than you paid for them so the next guy can make a profit (sour grapes)! Also if anyone wants to know which stock to buy, call me and then wait 2 days after I buy it, it will guaranteed be lower.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

"right or wrong,another car bashed unjustly" was quoted by a member...i thought unjust meant wrong only[can you be right and unjust???]...and since when is backing out of a deal right??????? no ones bashing the car,only the sellers behavoir if he doesnt sell the car to the high bidder...us little people would be ripped apart if we were the seller right now,agreed???

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

car is sold, end of story, no more shots needed, thanks for those positive post! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] no more need to guestimate personal transactions [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Great car sold at a great price IMO, I hope the new owner takes it to the 2003 Reunion for a little fun on the track.

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

I didn't see any car bashing myself.Hope it went to a good home and gets the snot beat out of it.

You really know how to make me laugh. What's next?? I suppose I could list my 1983 AMC Renault Alliance on the bottom too! lol

Kevin did I ever tell you I was a spin doctor in a previous life ? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

Hey Kevin,
Us NOVA guys have to stick together. Your 1969 Nova can kick both of mine's butts. LOL I like my current paint job better though. It blinds people as you drive by. The shock wave from your car as it passes kind of has the same effect.

This is a very good site for many reasons....if "popular" members were held to the same standards as everyone else in the hobby it would be upgraded to an outstanding site....

Re: greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
 

When you bash a owner, you bash the car. Thats a fact. All I know is you seem to be policing a transaction you aren't involved in. What is a "little people"?
