Yenko Deuce For Sale

[MotownMadman]

Hey guys, I think this whole thing has gone way off track.I will be the first to agree that Marlin puts forth a lot of dedicated hard work towards this hobby and freely helps those who ask. Possibly though, the car was not what the buyer expected, or possibly after buying it he realized he really couldnt afford it, or maybe he was talked into selling it by say, a broker who wanted to make a quick buck. Point is we dont know the whole story so we shouldnt jump to conclusions. The main thing is though, this car has now been brought into the "Fold" so to speak, from being owned by an outsider to this true hobby, now it has been brought in as I am sure someone from this board or close by will buy it and do the right thing. So, Marlin has done his job, he brought this car to the group of people who apprieciate what it is and will no doubt bring it back to it's true glory.

I was recently asked by an freind to authenticate a car that was close to $100k as he was interested in purchasing it for his private collection. I spent a lot of time in the sale of the car and helping the new owner. The car is now being sold literally months after the purchase for about a 50% profit. No money was ever paid to me for my services nor did I ask as I was helping a friend purchase a car. However, now that I see what his intentions likely were all along even while using me, I feel taken advantage of. Should he be held accountable? No, I offered to help with no strings attached even though he knows what I do. Do I feel taken advantage of by a friend who should have been honest with me? ABSOLUTELY! One things for sure, it WON'T happen again!

I HAD BOUGHT A SS427 IMPALA A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE PRICE WAS A STEAL. THE SELLER TOLD ME HE ONLY WANTED TO SELL IT TO SOMEBODY WHO WOULD RESTORE IT PROPERLY AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I ASSURED HIM I WOULD DO JUST THAT. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS STARING AT DIVORCE PAPERS. I HAD TO SELL THE CAR. I MADE A FEW DOLLARS ON IT HAVING DONE VERY LITTLE TO IT (JUST SOME DISASSEMBLY). I DID NOT WANT TO SELL, BUT HAD NO REAL CHOICE. MY POINT IS, BELAIR62 IS RIGHT, WE SHOULD NOT SPECULATE ON PEOPLES MOTIVES.

I USUALLY DONT PARTICIPATE IN THESE POSTS WITH CONFLICTING INFO BUT I'M GONNA SPEAK UP AND CALL IT AS I SEE IT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER MET MARLIN PERSONALLY, I FEEL HE IS AN ASSET TO THE HOBBY WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE AND CONTACTS WITH THE YENKO NOVAS. I'M CERTAIN HES NOT IN THE HOBBY FOR THE MONEY BUT FOR THE LOVE OF THE CARS. ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW CLINT OR HIS MOTIVE FOR SELLING THE DEUCE, THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF THE CAR GETS SOLD, MARLIN IS ENTITLED TO A COMMISSION FOR HIS LEAD AND KNOWLEDGE. JUST MY OPINION... KP
