Great to see you back on the site, missed your comradely here. I bet it is a real sad day to see the car that you bought that was supposed to be a top class restoration leave. It was really great meeting you last summer and the ice cold refreshments I consumed while drooling over your new purchase. It is unfortunate that the switcher-roo guy (Danny) misrepresented the car to you. I was in Vegas at the time and drove up to see this car and don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic looking car, but so much was not disclosed about the car and only a in person inspection would full disclose what the issues were and we talked about them in length that day.
I could not believe the seller actually swapped out the numbers carb for a POS that was on the car when it arrived at your door. In my opinion, you paid for a number 1 car, but this Danny guy only sent a car rated at a number 2 (solid number 2) , or at the most a 1.8. I read his description of the car before he deleted his posts in an obvious attempt to hide his less than honest transaction. If he had nothing to hide, why did he erase his entire existence on this forum. I sure hope the moderators and the site owner will do something on ads from this point forward, and not let them be wiped from the site as this one was.
Obviously the guy you sold the car to was more than up to speed of the car, as it is loaded up and ready for a road trip. I am sure he is happy with the car and probably has more resources locally where he lives than what is available in St. George.
So, with it all said and done, did you make out all right on the sell. No one, who is a true car guy likes to hear or see about a deal gone south.
If you are still in the market for "nice" survivor, I may be putting my Dealer Promo car up for sale next spring.
Drop in a little more often, if nothing else, just to say hi!!
