Re: Possible COPO on ebay
I think the point was that broadcasting this and letting the cat-out-of-the-bag may put the car out of reach of the ordinary Joe that would like to have it. A guy that would do his own work, etc...
This will probably go to a "more money than sense" guy regardless of your post anyway; someone that can gamble on what he is or isn't getting, and pay more than it's worth in order to take the car from others that may have limited funding.
Don't get me wrong-- I'm not complaining. That's life, that's business, that's the way it goes.
Being originally from Ohio, rare cars could be had in dilapidated condidion all over the place-- Not all that uncommon. I've posted about the cars I passed up and/or personally witnessed being destroyed before. Because of the internet, the days of barn finds or diamonds in the rough are over. I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- Clones, clones... Who can blame people?
And maybe the Honda fart-pipe kids are all-right after all-- They just want what they can't afford, and do hot-rodding with what they have to work with. I guarantee if Civic hatchbacks were more expensive that complete POS, terd-with-corns-in-it basket case F-bodies, they'd be figuring out how to weld and get parts for the '69.
Just my $.02...
Peace out.
