Re: Motion Nova????
Charley, Im not saying anyone here per se is calling it a fake but the overall community consenus is that because lacking paperwork its a fake. In my eyes, given I had the money to buy it with the 427 , I'd beat the hell out of it!!! Just because of the aggrevation and ridicule from others (Syc excluded)that it caused one man. This car as it sits is worth no more than it was new. Sadly, maybe someone out there knows the truth. Maybe a builder or a buyer knows more about this particular car than Dan does. His price seems ok if its real. I would beat it like a running mule!!!!!! Then everyone would say " Oh My God why are you doing that" This is a double edged sword that has cut Dan and made him look bad. My approach is, If anyone out there knows beyond a reasonable doubt that this car is INDEED a fake speak up with the proof. If not ,forever hold your piece and let the man sell his car!! A 68 Nova is an awesome car!! An SS 427 68 Nova is one hell of a ride!! Help him figure it out one way or another! I know of a few collectors that had to take legal action against Joel to prove the provenance of their Motion cars. Should Dan go that route???? Lets hope not.I don't give a rats a$$ if its real or not but when provenance keeps a "Car Guy" from enjoying his car, What is this hobby really worth?? To all MOTION Super Car Gurus and Joel and anyone that may know, Lets put this to bed!!! Its gone on for far too long turned a car guy into a bad guy ( I applaud Dan for standing up for what he believes , Right , Wrong or Indifferent) Its time to either kill the Unicorn for being fake or prove to the world its real. Why is it that people have to fight about this?? If he's wrong prove him so. If hes right help him document it. I absolutely hate how the Car Community can treat a person. Me, my wife and our committee hold a Car Cruise every year to help a family. My son had a stroke at birth and almost died. I try to help a family going through a hardship like we went through and let me tell you some of the people in this hobby are greedy, self indulging worms. They would rather point fingers and say whats wrong with one another cars than help each other and let the knowledge flourish. I hope before my son is old enough to truely appreciate cars this attitude changes. If not, Ill have him follow Joel Rosen and appreciate plastic model airplanes and Naval ships. Maybe he would be better off in the Mini Bike community where theres less staring down ones nose at someone and everyone appreciates each other. Nevertheless, how can anyone question Dan unless they have the hard cold proof his car is BS??? He does however have a "Maybe" letter but thats worth no more than the paper its printed or the information contained therein or maybe the signature at the bottom. Just my 2 cents.
