Default Re: Needing reassurance on purchase

Not to be a party pooper but...GRUSUM are you related to the Bain that these guys all have issues with?

Why even travel down that path?

I think Grusum is a little surprised at the Camaro he bought. I have never bought a car I have not personally inspected myself first. If necessary, I also will bring a professional restorer, judge or mechanic. When I bought my '66 Corvette Convertible original owner car, we brought a NCRS 300 level master Judge, when we bought the Z28, we brought my good friend who owns a restoration shop to ensure the metal was rust free and as described. It is hard to trust people these days when all these muscle cars do is increase in value, seemingly over night…

So you learned LESSON NUMBER ONE really well. Never buy a car without going to see it. Its like buying a new car. Would you spend $42k on a new BMW without driving it or going to the dealer? Absolutely not. The same should be said about classic car purchases as well. We even flew into Chicago to inspect my plane jane '70 Camaro that was viewed and inspected by a big time source from this website. You can NEVER be too careful.
