Rich,
I am glad you can understand the importance of this topic, many people really are not aware what an agent can go through trying to do an effective professional job so that both buyer and seller are pleased, as well as all the BS cars out there not ending up a dissapointment for someone. While many here are old pros at this hobby, many are also relative newcomers who should have the protection of 35 years of muscle car knowledge to aid in a purchase or sale which in this day and age the financial aspect has surpassed what many real estate agents handle. If I put together a deal I also accept and warranty the authenticity of the car and it's componants taking full liability for any mistakes to be discovered later on the car. As anyone here would know, that is a very time consuming research situation which becomes what I call an enterance into "The Red Zone" after finding out the so called buyer was nothing but BS with no intention of buying anything more then a die cast collection rather then the real thing. I was asked to put together a list of fifteen cars to start, with more to follow. I had the list together in three weeks including owner history on most. The following is a list of what I had assembled:
1 - 68 Z-28 Soft Top
2 - 70 Hemi Cuda Soft Top
3 - 69 Baldwin Camaro
4 - 69 Yenko Nova
5 - 69 Trans Am Soft Top and HT pair
6 - 70 Hemi Cuda 44 miles
7 - 70 Chevelle LS6 Soft top
8 - 68 Hemi Dart
9 - 67 Z-28
10 - 70 Hemi Challenger Talladega Pace Car
11 - 70 Plum Cuda 440 Six Pack
12 - Baldwin Motion Corvette
13 - 70 Hemi Coronet RT soft top
14 - #1 Harrell ZL1
15 - 1968 Hurst Olds
These are all top flight cars, many of which were not even being considered for sale. No doubt these would have been an impressive collection to go from ground zero. Some may still be available, some not. A situation as this just makes it bad for the honest serious buyer or seller, it is beyond me why someone would just waste their time and mine playing wanna be car collector.
Thanks,
Motown
