Restamping blocks??????????????

My rule of thumb in that situation is, if they ask, I tell them. If they don't ask, I keep my mouth shut. Even when they ask I have been met with some rather hostile people before. $182k paid for a Shadow Grey LS6 that used to be a Malibu. He was NOT happy but between Chris and I we got $120k of his money back from the seller so all ended well. Rick Hendrick being told two of his cars were fake. NOT HAPPY! Sad thing is, his two cars inspections were freebies and I still was the bad guy! Go figure! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

A few weeks ago I was hired to inspect and consign a 1970 Challenger R/T SE 440 U-code car. He bought the car thinking it had the &quot;Born with drive train&quot; after I went under the car I told him the bad news that the Tranny was a Blank Pad service replacement 833 unit and the motor all though date code correct came from a whole different plant and car then the car it was in.
He was so pissed off he did not even want to talk to me anymore and I told him that I was just doing what he paid for.
That car went from being worth an ex amount of money that he paid out to almost half of what it's worth now.
Some guys should spend the money for an inspection before they buy a car not after they buy the car.
This also happened a few years back as a friend of mine bought an LS6 70 Chevelle SS and called me to inspect it after it was paid for and delivered to his home. Car had a fake build sheet non original drive train etc.... I told him he should have had me look at the car before he bought it.
Sellers look for people like these 2 examples but at the same time some buyers cheap out on a simple inspection that would have saved them Thousands of dollars for the small fee.
