I'm confused????

You say "The car is original. Now let’s add the fact that it’s a COPO with complete owner history from day one. That isn’t something that is seen very often these days."!

Yet on page 8 Sean says "I will not go into specifics but I was asked about the car and had a lengthy conversation with a potential buyer. No paper, many unknowns to throw down 6 figures. I asked several questions and they could not be verified. Enough for me that I would walk."

Also look at his cars Sean has 3 are COPO's.

Yes, Sean needs to explain himself. I know who the "Potential Buyer" is because A father and son are the only people who have looked at this car and they heard about it thru their work place. It wasn't advertised for sale. The one who was interested in this car never checked any Numbers, Dates, or Codes of the car. So, Since it's said by Copo Cartel that the owner works at Marathon, Then I'll say the "Potential Buyer" has a connection with Marathon too. Sean needs to explain whats wrong with this car. As someone who has seen it a lot you don't find much better. Sean, did you ever think that the reason He couldn't verify anything is because He don't know nothing because he didn't check it out?

Did the appraiser value it at anywhere near the supposed 40 sales price ? If so I think I would go after the appraiser.

If the current owner keeps the car, I'd wager you won't see or hear much more from him about the car on this site, and that's unfortunate

Would you really blame him for not sharing it with the site? Hes been called every name in the book, the car has been said to have rusty quarters and needing restoration when one of the only people that claims to know the car well says it isnt so.....sounds to me like a few people here that gloat and welcome all the praise when they find a similar car are just upset they didnt get this one,and feel the need to discredit this great find to ease thier pain of not finding it themselves ,and that is the real shame ....I would have loved to find it myself,but I'm still excited for the new owner unless he bought the car from the seller under duress or force or if an appraiser was in cahoots with the buyer .....

someone shared pics of the car on facebook of it being detailed and whoever was polishing it it sure looked damn good to me
