Nice car, but so much wrong

[Belair62]

...I don't think anyone holds back their criticism of anyone in particular...I have no idea what peoples net worth is around here but if their car has issues I'm sure people wouldn't hesitate to call them out. These E Bay ads seems to give folks something to gripe about no matter who owns the car and no matter how nice it is. When I saw my 70 Z on E Bay there were a few negative comments...and that was before I bought it off e-bay...there are really a lot of people who know their stuff here so you have to expect them to find stuff wrong with just about any car restored to any level. I don't have a car that would hold up to the "absolutely correct in every detail" microscope either. I have to give credit to the guys who eat,sleep and breathe these cars...it's hard to sugar coat things that are wrong without coming out and saying...it's wrong. Most people are glad to learn this stuff but the majority of folks probably don't strive to get a car down to an infinite level of detail either...some do...some don't...I admire both flawless correct restorations and extremely nice and damn close ones too...bottom line to me is with the value of these types of cars escalating...the more info the better...(sometimes stuff you don't want to know)that info allows people to decide what value they personally would place on a particular car...that being said....folks should stick to facts...and never let it get personal.
