Well said Carley....

Don't get me wrong Charley, I totally agree with the idea a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. However, I also can see why several of our regular members would question such money for what is merely a "nice" car.

Reality 101... the collector car market has gotten so crazy that people have stooped to several dishonest practices from shill bidding on eBay to trying to pass of clones as the real thing. As collectors and enthusiasts it is our right to question everything until proven otherwise. Unlike the court of law, in the court of collector cars its guilty until proven innocent (or proven by documentation). Thus explains why so many of us are skeptical of every "sweet" deal that comes down the pipe. We might not get all the great bargins others get by being skeptical; however we also get crapped-on far less.

I'm not saying Mav, or the seller fit into this category. However as some of us don't know either gentleman, one should expect naysayers to be skeptical, or at the least voice their opinions.

I would also add that what info and or crititizsm they get here is worth big $$$ to a "smart investor" of special interest cars. I sure hope those involved and or potential buyers, will use the negatives expressed on here to their advantage. I am sure that none are meant to denigrate the posters involved.

The total sum of the knowledge of the members on here are something, I feel that is one of the main reasons that they take the time to look in on us and our posts.

I know I relied on what was available about the L-78 Nova I purchaced lately. I feel I paid about $4 grand more for it than I should but how often do you get a chance to pick up a 7,000 mi '69 model car?

I took advantage of the good and the bad with out letting it anger me but most importantly I used what I could learn on here as a "Tool" to add to my own knowledge and it did help make the decision easier for me to make the purchase before someone on here beat me to it.

Good luck to those involved with this car. Please come back and share what you find out about it. Good or Bad. I know I sure would like to have that motor...!!!

You know Larry, you may have paid a little more for the car upfront, but if you follow this car through to completion using your own skills to do the work as you want to do and then enjoy the car awhile.. you'll have a lot less $$ in the finished product than the next guy would have who farms out all the work. Know what I mean? You did ok on that one.

I tried to do this on Saturday, but was unable for some reason. But, I want to apologize to the seller of this car in front of everyone. My goal was only to have the description clarified, which he did within a day. At that point, he had done what was right. There was no way for anyone to be misled at that point. For some reason, the whole situation got the best of me and I didn't let it drop. So, I apologize for my last post....the seller DID DO WHAT WAS RIGHT and in hindsight I would have NO PROBLEM purchasing anything from him. Sometimes I get my thoughts clouded and need to step back and evaluate. Sorry guys.

I'd say we give Gary credit for posting a reply to all that contained no 's, 's or expletives as I think he probably had the right to after the comments made.

Welcome aboard Gary.
