Frank, my reference to an apoligy was for name calling, "jackass" in this case. Regardless how we may differ in opinions on this board, there is NO place for that. PERIOD! Whether you, me or whoever.

I guess the old adage about there still being cars out there to find is true. However, personally I think it really isn't that good of a deal in the first place. Here is an interesting point that might not have been thought of. It appears that the car will need a restoration that will cost what the car is basically worth. Since the condition of the car and its' lack of the "pertinent" equip (BE rear, engine, all the COPO parts, trans, etc..) are going to have to be found, why would someone pay top dollar for the car in the first place when it is finished. I'm sure for the eventual possible asking price if the car is ever re-sold another more "complete" (read..more of that particulars cars VIN numbered/original components car can be had). My point is everyone will know the car is an "assembled," car either through scrounging the parts or ordering them from vendors. I sincerely doubt anyone in their right mind would do a complete NOS frameoff on this car, therefore it is going to be a "parts book" restoration. The purchaser can't re-list the car for sale without the people willing to pay 125k for a car knowing this. Therefore is it really a "good deal?" IMHO..."no" Still an interesting example showing "treasures" can still be found.
As an added comment about the auction itself..if Clint is "quickrod" or whatever the high bidder is then fine it is his car..if he isn't (again he hasn't posted he is...) and he realized that Brain was the next high bidder, isn't some integrity involved in not trying to buy the car until ALL ebay parties were contacted? Especially if Clint didn't even bid? Sure maybe for Ebay's purposes the "contract," is only valid with the ultimate "high bidder," but doesn't integrity come into play...If Clint is the high bidder, step up and say you are the person that is listed on Ebay as the winner..that would clear a lot of potential confusion. |

Greg with labor costing what it does I would think that if someone like Brian Henderson who could do it right bought the car he would PROBABLY have the right money in it.

Tom,
Kenny P. and Brian P. are buddies and "jackass" is an endearing term between them [I believe], but you had no way of knowing. Even so, those endearing terms gotta stay off-line for fear of misunderstanding. SS |

Thanks Steve. Come to find out, that was the case with Kingpin as well. But, as I explained to him, and has been proven many times, it is not always possible to post things "tongue in cheek" and everyone view it as such.
