Re: Nice car, but so much wrong
Put me down for one that Calls em like I sees em.. WHEN THEY ARE FOR SALE....I like to think that for everyone who replies to such a post, there are many more who just use the information as a SPONGE and are getting that Free Education. I don't think anyone wants to intentionally HURT somebody's feelings when they point out an incorrect restoration item.. but if not said, it perpetuates the problem and the next guy makes the same mistake b/c he saw that other car that had it... and FWIW.. I have seen many HIGH DOLLAR so called professional restorations with mistakes ... things that would not take much research to have been made right.
Of course it all depends on how the add is written.. if it is obviously a driver, no need to point out restoration correct items, but if Marketed as a Numbers Matching, Frame Off, Nut and Bolt, Yada Yada rare car... put on the Vest!
I have no problem with it, as long as said car is FOR SALE, be it on Ebay, here, at Team Chevelle, an auction or at a car show... I wouldn't expect anyone to critique anyone's car in an open forum if it was not for sale though.
