dear Ron,
If the buyer of the Carpenter car doesnt have the
information we have collected here, what will the consequences be?
I completely agree that the seller should be held accountable
to his claims, but chances are very good that the buyer won't care and it won't
really matter. This of course annoys me, as do the drivers who don't stop for
red lights, people who brag about cheating on their taxes, etc. Even if the
seller gets the facts sent to him, the chances of him changing his
sales pitch are remote at best.
a negative realist,
RogerH

Maybe this should be forwarded to the guy selling the car so
that he can amend his description.

In answer to all the speculation on the '59 Sport Fury
convert. Richard will be 55 in October. Neither he nor his
father was the original owner of the car. He bought it about '80 and I
think it came from Tennessee. It was restored "ecconomically" by
'83 Was a body off frame, but had rust in all the normal places in
fenders, quarters, etc. and I do mean all of them. "Ecconomical" way at the
time was to fiberglass all these areas-cloth and resin. All the body work
has held up real well, but it has just sat in a warehouse all these
years. It's a real nice looking and running car and is a genuine Sport
Fury. Worth the opening bid? Probably. Worth lots
more. Probably not. Gary
