Yenko Chevelle in newest Musclecar Enthusiast

farone · #1 09-09-2003, 12:57 PM

The recent issue of MCE has a spread on James Berry's Yenko Chevelle. Is this the same car that board member Mark Hassett was ran around on and lost his deposit money on? The article is interesting to say the least. According to the story, "He says he'll never sell it". Must be true, since the deposit was never returned or all the money spent to see the car. Hassett is to nice of a guy for this... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Hello, this is James Berry. Yes, this is my Yenko Chevelle in Musclecar Enthusiast Magazine. Yes, Mark Hassett did look at my car to purchase at one time. No, I did not sell it to him. NO, he did not lose any deposit money on the car. I am tired of hearing the gossip on this issue. This sight, in my opinion, is supposed to be for the preservation of the cars, not to bash the owners of the cars. It is important that you have your facts straight before you post information. By spreading unjust rumors, you destroy the integrity of this club. I will NOT have any further discussions on this issue.
Thanks, James

"I will NOT have any further discussions on this issue.
Thanks, James "

Do you have a choice? I don't think you can prevent 'further discussions' about anything!

I don't think we should jump the conclusions on this! It may well have been a misunderstanding! I can see where this is going! It looks like the moderator will end up yanking this thread! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

James,

Since we are all "Club" members here would you mind posting a canceled check or wire transfer receipt showing that the deposit funds were returned.

This in my opinion would go a long way to clearing up the "gossip".

Just my humble opinion on a simple way to have the buck stop here.

Wow. That's one heck of an idea.

James, you are leaving about 90% of the story OUT--It is OVER and I have since gotten (2) BETTER CARS--ESPECIALLY a '68 MOTION PHASE III Camaro. I want to let ALL the Members know that YES I did NOT loose My Deposit!!! Let's just END this NOW.....MARK

Mark,

With all due respect I think you are being a bit easy here. I was with you on the pre-purchace inspection of the chevelle.

I watched you write a check to James. He simply has not cashed the check as of yet. I am sure you stopped payment right? If not he still has access to a good check and your money.

I wasted quite a bit of my time also in this matter. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

You are right James, best not to respond..... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

James B.
I don't know the story behind this Chevelle.
But I wish I knew about it earlier.Being from Illinois too.[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Was this Chevelle scheduled to be at Collinsville?
It looks very nicely restored,but how bad was it before the resto?
Where was it found?
Does it retain it's original Engine-Trans.-Rearend?
What kind of pix and papers did you get with it?
I see you have the Plastic Cowl grilles installed,do you believe this to be as delivered?
What is the OK designation on your windshield?

Looks similar to your Chevelle.....I mean your previous Chevelle... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Rick if im not mistaking I owned the motor to this Chevelle at one time. I did several title traces on it since the vin was still on the block there were some crazy adventures trying to find this car I stopped looking because of a story I heard, which obviosly wasnt true.. I thought the original title was under a girls name who lived on the gold coast. This was back in the late 80s early 90s. The car was found in the early 90s and reunited with the original engine. If this is the same car, it was then sold to Gary Dyer. I believe its the same car because it was a Jack Douglas car with the same color combo. It had a Buick interior in it back then. After that I lost track of it.
