    Never a good idea to let the fox watch the hen house!

    My thoughts too C O D Y . How do you get a phone call from ''The Man'' telling you about a fish that has suffered so much in the muck and he neglects to fill you in. Thats the rooster minding the key to the hens chastity belt. Your gonna get scr@wed.

    Let me get this right, are we talking the Mopar Guru, Galen Govier?  Would he really do this?  Doesn't he have a reputation to protect?   He didn't try to mention any of this "little detail" that it was flooded?????  Was it too small a detail that it wasn't worth mentioning?   I'm confused.

    It was Galen ( Mr. Mopar) Govier.   $10,000.00         he did say it was totaly under water but was totaly savable, no mention of fram rot

    just that trunkwas good. did say motor was frozen nothing else, total rebuild.

    I sent e-mail saying $6,000  we'll see, not a penny more.

    I'm with ya on that one,many people have made it in their field by questionable business practices ande most of the time while they may or may not have started off  trying to decieve the public,at one time or another the notorieity went to their head

    I should take a drive up to his place and see just how bad it really is. :D  And MoparNut, you definitely have a point on why he wouldn't want to restore it himself if it is such a salvagable car. ::)
