Taylor Toledo,
Oh Richard,
I would love to hear aboout your cars. I love the Larry Blomberg story on the
website. That car is exactly like the one my dopey friends and I used to make
fun of back in the late 70's. My only lifes regret is not knocking on that
grandma's door and offering to buy that car. Hindsight is truly 20/20. -----

unlikely that anyone we know will end up with the car. A friend of mine
and myself have been interested in and trying to purchase the car for the
past week. The car has been sold twice now and the owner has
renigged both times with cash in hand. You will notice no feedback as he
is now trying ebay for the first time. I can certainly understand his
wanting to get as much money as possible but his dealings have been
unscrupulous. He is now trying his luck on ebay and is going to let
it ride. It is a total mess suffering a broken window, rear quarter
rust, and years of outdoor storage. The interior was redone about
six years ago but I am told it is now rotted and covered in mold. The ad
says it runs good, it doesn't, just look at the battery and carburator. I
talked to the owner this morning and his phone has been ringing off the
hook. As of 11 am he had a high offer from another country. I
will not reveal more than that as I may know who it is and I don't want to
interfere. I really was hoping to buy the car but knew it was lost the
moment it turned up on ebay. I shouldn't get so invested in these things,
but I do, and it was a big dissapointment. Aparently it has been in the
Atlanta area for a number of years its wherabouts unknown. We were really
hoping we could keep it local. The first buyer who was screwed was in
Sweden. Then, my friends' deal fell through and I was going to make a last
ditch try before it went to ebay. I think the list of frustrated buyers
is going to get longer before it's over. All of us here are hoping
that the car finds a caring new owner to take on this project. Best of
luck. Richard

goodness everyone, check this out! It looks like it may go to the highest
bidder, and so far it is only up to $2,000. It doesn't look that bad, although
seeing such a fabulous car in pictures being stored outside in the weather is a
real shame. The air cleaner is simply thrown in the back seat like this was
just another old car! What a hoot! I believe it is in Georgia. |
