Avoided disaster today

Rich...If you post the vin it might save someone else the time wasted going to look at it.

The owner said he’s going to keep the car for now he seemed pretty upset about it. I think because it was his dads car who bought it under the impression it’s legit. I told him it’s still a cool car someone would like to own just be honest. The build date of the engine was to early too now that I look back at my texts. 2/22 is the date it says it was assembled. Every Chevelle I’ve owned that’s numbers matching the engine is atleast a month earlier than the cars build date not a week prior

Eh it was a nice car regardless of the re stamp the underside was very clean I couldn’t find rust anywhere on the car

Had the same type of deal with a 69 Z recently. I only traveled 45 minutes for that.

I hate the idea of telling someone that something significant is not correct, but it's the right thing to do IMO

I agree with you.

Honestly I have spent my whole life just loving real old honest cars. Early on the internet made it even more fun, but lately it has come to the point where I find little enjoyment even in the type cars I use to find kinship. I just don't even want to make eye contact with them. Maybe it's just me and it's time to move on, its just hard to walk away from something I cared about so much I just don't feel a a part of what going on and I feel sad about it.

I couldn't have said it better. Reason I sold my Chevelle. No one ever thought I would do that. It still tugs at me but the regrets are few.

Totally agree with you.
