Re: Unique Shelby Convertible for sale
Hey Racefan,
As the owner of the car in quetion I have no problem with Les correcting my engine info, because I would never knowingly misrepresent a car. Also, even though it is a replacement block, date correct, one has to wonder how many SCJ engines have actually survied in their original cars - I know I would have blown mine up. Obviously, the guy who purchased my car and had the block replced with around 1000 miles did not understand the concept of "break in period."
With regard to the statements by Les that he has specific knowledge of friends buying parts and MCA judges knowing of parts missing, this is another matter. I feel like the preacher who comes home and reads on the front page of the newspaper "Les Has friends Indicating That Preacher Was Seen Drunk At the Appolo Lounge." How does the accussed preacher defend himdelf from that? The most direct and easiest way is to address the specific allegation by contacting the "friends" and see what they actually saw. I have asked Les to contact me by PM, phone, or whatever means and I will try contacting him in private. Furthermore, I will always seek and appreciate guidance about any car I own.
In closing, all I want to do is to ensure the car is as good as it can be, or as good as it was when it was shown and last judged. If that requires me spending money to find NOS parts I will do so, as long as I own the car. But first I need to find out if parts were removed, and Les has indicatd he has specific knowledge that can help me determine that. In the meantime, I would also really like to know what happened between Barrett Jackson and when I bought the car.
