good news / bad news.....57 sold...not to me

 

Wasn't meant to be...something better will be around the corner.

 

yeap, may be time for me to give in and see what this convertible life is about

 

Is the good news that sucker overpaid?

Btw.. saw this clean roller..

Has a 400 chevy small block with a 4 speed muncie that come with it.
If those are ready to go.. this could be a lightweight build.

 

nah, i think the guy paid right for it. I had talked the guy down to $55K, but was getting cold feet to when I added up the cost to install AC, switch out wheels, put air on the front suspension (only on rear currently). And i wouldn't keep this one long term, so I wouldn't make any money on it. BUt when I called this morning to tell him i'd fly down to look at it tomorrow, he said he had someone interested but was waiting to hear from me. I told him to let it go.

 

Sounds like you want a 67 Camaro SS vert

 

'63 Nova vert

 

no no, i'm not a muscle car guy. Although, the one i have said I'd always do if i do one is a 67 camaro. Thinking more along the lines of a 58-60 impala convertible

 

You already have an impala...go different.

 

67 Camaro would be awesome!

I always wanted to get my dad muscle car from 1968, the year he turned 21.

 

soooo, amazon driver pulled a hit and run. I had just washed it, covered it (put a brand new cover that arrived the day before on). Came home from grabbing dinner for hte fam, noticed the cover was off, figured wind blew it off (even though it hadn't been windy). When i put it on i noticed it was filthy, and then a neighbor came out and said an amazon driver had hit it and ran.

Been dealing iwth amazon, we'll see how they handle it. Found bumper tabs from whatever hit it at the impact site. Also dumbass left his stires serial number on the cover.

 

Amazon drivers are thugs.. they crazy as hell, hire anybody
Damn.. sorry to see this

I heard horror stories when dealing with them on claims like this

 

Hope it all works out well for you.

 

Damn.

I’d be raising hell with Amazon. They are such a shitty company.

 

Are you filing a hit and run police report? I’d be doing that ASAP.

 

Case after case..






So many videos.. just a few
They really hire anybody, treat them like shit, one of the main reasons I don't park on the street

 

Damn that sucks. I would file a report and raise hell with Amazon for sure. Time for some cameras as well.

 

Yea. I'm raising hell. Also have filed a police report. We'll see how this goes.

 

You manage to get anywhere with this yet?

 

Yea, so amazon has taken ownership of it. Dealing with their claim company. Waiting on an adjuster from their end to come look at the car after I got an estimate. Estimate was around $3K, which is 100% labor since no new parts will be needed.

 

Glad to hear they took ownership of it and you are not having to screw around getting them to own it instead. Hopefully the adjuster will agree with your estimate and you can put it all behind you.

 

The fact that the driver just took off would infuriate me but I guess I understand that they were probably afraid and entry level and figured you're probably paid enough to fix it through insurance.
Burns my ass.
Glad I stumbled on this thread...I love all your updates.

 

Wow, sorry to see

 

Sold this one on sunday, put it up, sold it by noon.

I woke up on saturday and realized i just didn't drive it much. Kind of regret




But may have bought two new cars today!

 

still only verbal, but struck a deal on these two. Deal i couldn't pass up. Not keeping the rag (I don't like rags, and have already sold it) but will keep the red one

 

Both nice, but that red

 

Time for more garage space ...

Congrats!

 

 

Dang.

You still have the wagon though, right? Don't break my heart.

 

you are throwing me for loops bro.. that isn't the car we talked about on the phone!!!

 

seriously, i was walking around the house on monday and the wife said....you've got this look like you bought another car


Guy's being dodgy now, hoping he's not backing out

 

i've got severe ADHD. I determined, while I am an asshole, i'm not a mclaren driving asshole

 

wagon, 55, and the porsche won't go anywhere for some time (mainly because i'm into them for wayyyy too much)

 

you're right, we are porsche driving assholes...

 

Don't ever sell the Porsche .. you'd regret it.

Speaking of which, update your thread when you get a moment. I'd love to see the progress / live vicariously through you!

 

he will sell it to you. he is closer to you (location) than i am...

 

I need to get out to WC and see this fleet of yours. I love classics.

 

Wifey would LOVE the idea of a built 996T, especially right now .

 

just buy it and put the car in her name... you bought it for her... problem solved...

 

She's a saint, she won't even have a real problem with it if he tells her he wants it real bad.
PS...
What's the deal on the deal, CL? Did he back out?
