Default Re: Gave Up on the Z and Bought a Chevelle

Thank you all for the well wishes and now all my questions will be chevelle oriented

I talked to the dealer in tarpon springs 3 or 4 times i just didnt get a very good feeling on the phone nothing i can put my finger on just bad vibes. the dealer i went to see was in Mt Dora www.classicdreamcars.com the Z he had was a nice car 1 floor pan was replaced both rear quarters but a very nice frame off job he had the stripes recently painted on and there was overspray on both windshield posts which i thought was rather slip shod the car had a 4:56 rear which made for a terrible ride and the motor and tranny were supposedly fresh rebuilds but something didnt quite feel right in the drivetrain a vibration that shouldnt be there but i kept my doubts to myself and politely told Mr Bogard that the car was not for me. Followed up with an email thanking him for his time ect. He responded with an extremely nasty email about how i wasted his time and how anyone that takes the time to fly to FL to see his cars buys them cuz hes such an honest guy and then proceeded to tell me how any car i would find in NY would be nothing but a "Bondo Bucket" I dont think i have ever been so insulted in my entire life.
So that was my experience flying to Florida to see a Z.

Thanks again everyone
FrankieZ (the "Z" is for Zappa)
