Yenko Deuce For Sale

[SS427]

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!

You know...I don't think anyone knows what Clints motivations were....why post speculation ??? Man we need to slow down around here.

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

Like KP I don't often get involved in the serious debates, though I will add my views if it seems appropriate. This is one of those times. The collector car hobby is out of control! What started as a labor of love for the average guy has turned into "Big Business". Just look at all the nonsense going on with E-bay; all the fake cars, the clones, price gougers, it's terrilble. We need to reel this in before it explodes. Sure the cars are valuable, and some are darn near priceless, but they are still just cars. Let's not forget one simple fact "They Don't Drive Themselves", it takes people to do that! To me this hobby is really about the people and always has been. The cars are merely the thing that brings us all together. Let's all be friends, deal honestly and fairly and help each other whenever we can. The hobby will be better for it and so will we.

Clint seems to have a problem with my post.I thought that I expressed my feelings clearly.So I thought that Kenny explained PERFECTLY.I could care less about Clint or what his intensions were with the Deuce.He has every right to do what he wants with the deuce.I just feel that some sort of graditude should go to thoughs who dedicate so much to this hobby.Iam glad that Clint found a NEW home at the "other site".I think he should stay on the "other site". Just my OPINION.
