Asking for information from Chris and not divulging information from the current owner is more than enough reason for him not to take the offer. Chris has provided free photo's and history which will only add value to this Yenko Chevelle. For people to be chastising him for not "taking the deal" is asinine.If the current owner would provide even half as much information as opposed to what Chris has disclosed in relation to his father's ownership history than it would be a fair offer.
Instead all assertions seem to indicate that the current owner is circling the wagons. If the current owner is so confident in their ownership records than why the statement about the ownership history being attempted "without your involvement"? And I find it mindbogglingly strange that "private" owner of a 69 Yenko Chevelle is only now looking fully into the ownership history of such a prominent car. It's rather easy to assimilate that the reason this Chevelle has flown under the radar is because it has a dark history.
I've never met Chris, but as a younger man (like myself) in the collector car hobby, it can be a daunting task trying to communicate and converse with people who own elite american muscle cars. I've found that these people often don't have time for us younger collectors and enthusiasts. Chris should be commended for how he's handled this to date. He's brand new here and in every post he seems to be apologizing. No wonder there's so few of us 40 and under guys in the hobby. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bkhpah</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> It would seem that the current owner, and all of the past owner history is very clear, at least back for 25+ years not to mention original owner input. Also from what I read here, it would seem the current owner with Charlies help, are more than willing to also get to the bottom if this mystery. If I had that offer I would put my cards on the table and finish this once and for all. It would seem you have the most to gain here. I see no real reason for the current owner to even try and help you out here, yet the offer was made. The current owner, to the best of my knowledge owns, the car with proper documentation and a clear and free title in hand...BKH </div></div>
