Brian's number on his website in the sponsor section and Dave's number is posted in this thread. Why not take these conversations private. Isn't this how perfectly good cars get horrible reputations?

"And" besides that......As far as I am concerned.....Brian is out of the picture....he explained his involvement in the car......Brian does not own or have any interest in the car.......Dave is the one that has to Shoulder the questions as he is the one who has a vested interest in the Sale.......

Ive been out of the country for a while...so I figured Id check out this thread to see if the piston issue has been resolved....

..with all due respect to Brian, I realize he does not have to respond to any questions here, but by not answering the question about the pistons, it sure leaves a lot of doubt about this car.....

...I have no interest in buying the car, but I think this site is all about preserving the supercars 'and their integrity', correct?...I for one really hope this car is real just because of all the people out there that initially trash a car without even knowing for sure....I have learned to never say never.....How many years I heard that GM never made a Z-28 vert.

and no, Im not gonna call Brian privately...I feel that we all should know...what's the big secret????

Well Brian????

I am sure this will rock a lot of peoples's boat, but I am going to say it anyway.

How about taking the suggestion in the post above yours of MosportGreen66

Why is it that there is always a certain member segment on these forums that feel the need to find something wrong with every car for sale posted? I know, many will tell you that they feel it is their duty to inform any potential buyers of what they THINK might be wrong. Did a potential buyer ASK you for this info?

In all of the pages of this post the head question has not been conclusively determined as to what is correct for this car, and it may never be. But isn't the BLOCK stamped with a code indicating it was an aluminum head engine? If so, what is the big arguement here if the guy has BOTH sets of heads, one normally accepted as correct and the others he says were on the car and thought to be original factory install?

Just because we frequent these forums and some are quite knowledgable, doesn't give us the right to post speculation on a car we have no vested interest in. If it is curosity only then contact the seller and ask you question rather than speculating and asking others to do the same.

As far a I know, no one has been appointed the car police on the Internet so why do some seem to feel they are deputized?

Just as MosportGreen66 said, this is how cars get unjustified reputations that can be hard to overcome and can cost a seller a sale, and a buyer to lose out on a car that they would have bought if they didn't buy into stuff like this that later is proven to untrue.

The bottom line is, if you are not a buyer for the car then don't make a bunch of unfounded speculative statements when one is up for sale unless you can PROVE there is a direct statement of untruth about the subject car that SHOULD be brought to the attention of the www.
