Thank You Bartruff1
RodKnock is CLUELESS about what I do and who I am...
But let me set the record STRAIGHT since he decided to question my integrity in public.
I purchased ERA 717 last year for $39.5K from the original owner off an ad on craigslist. After owning it for a while I noticed the car using
oil....I made an appointment at ERA for them to do a few things to the car and determine why it was using
oil. ERA told me they thought it needed rings. They added a set of their quiet pipes and I spent about $2600 total. Pete at ERA said the car was one of the nicest driving 427's he had been in. (Pete took the car for the weekend because at first we thought it might just need intake gaskets)
So.....Here's what a DIRT BAG I AM.
I disclosed EVERYTHING about the car when I decided to sell it. PLEASE READ THE AD on Cobra Country...It's still there.
I placed the car on Cobra Country for $42K...what I had into it.
Bill (Mr. Mustang) called me within hours of the car going online and offered me a lowball number (HIS words not mine...I guess HE was TRYING TO PREY ON THE DESPERATE and VULNERABLE TOO!!!) I had 5 other people interested at this point. Bill called back a little while later and offered FULL ASKING price. This was on a Friday. I told him I had a lot of people interested. He told me he would overnight payment for the car. I had 4 other offers on the car over the weekend....ALL of them OVER BILLS OFFER!! AND.....Bills check wouldn't arrive until MONDAY AFTERNOON.....Plenty of time to take ANY of the OVER ASKING offers I had on the car.
But being the DIRT BAG I am.....I sold the car to BILL for $42K......How many CAR DEALERS (people who sell cars for a LIVING would do this?)
Rodknock.....You sir are a piece of S**T!!!!
As to me being a Car Dealer....That is UNTRUE.....I own numerous commercial properties....ONE of them has a dealers license. I have NOTHING to do with that business other than the license must be held in the property owners name. I sold ONE CAR this year....It was the 427 Cobra Bill purchased from me.....MY OWN CAR.
This is what happens when a MORON gets a little bit of information instead of the WHOLE STORY!!!!!
Check the ad on Cobra Country....Ask Mr Mustang.....He KNOWS I had offers over his....They came from PEOPLE HERE....But he ended up with the car because I pride myself in doing what I tell people I will do. Also NOTE the ad on Cobra Country said $42K OBO....If I wanted to I could have sent Mr. Mustang's check right back to him the day it got here and there wouldn't have been a THING he could have done about it....WE had NOTHING in writing.....But I did what I told him I would do. Because he did what he said he would do....Great guy, easy transaction. End of story. Again, How many CAR DEALERS would do this???
AND.....Once he gets that engine squared away HE can make MONEY on that car.....He told me he's had 24 COBRAS over the years....I guess according to RODKNOCK....He's must be a DIRT BAG CAR DEALER TOO!!!! Imagine all the VULNERABLE people he's PREYED on over the years.
And god forbid he sells that car for a PROFIT??? What a dirtbag he'd be then!!!
Rodknock......GET A LIFE!!!
I'm looking for a CAV GT40.....Rodknock is the only one here who apparently has a problem with someone trying to find a great deal on a car...You know....Like MR. MUSTANG FOUND.....From ME...The car dealer....You can't make this sh*t up.
Here's the BEST part.....I've been around cars my entire life....Do you have any idea how EASY it would have been to sell that car WITHOUT disclosing ANYTHING about that Engine and get $50K for it??? Some heavy weight
oil in that crank case and no more smoking...That car would have been GONE on day one at $50K and I could have made money on it....But that's bullish*t.....I believe in what goes around comes around...SO....The car went to a guy that knows whats wrong with it, knows how to fix it, and he got a great deal on it...
If that's PREYING on the Desperate and Vulnerable......I guess MR. MUSTANG IS GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!
SO....
I ENCOURAGE anyone looking to sell their CAV GT40 to check EVERY SINGLE WORD I have typed here for accuracy....Look at the history on this site and you'll see my posts asking about oil consumption...READ the ad for the car.....and LOOK at Mr. Mustangs new post titled OUT with the OLD, IN with the NEW....That's my old car in the picture..
If you want to deal with an HONEST PERSON that has the CASH ready to buy your car with NO BS....Just drop me a line and move on with whatever you want to buy with the GT40 money!!!
Thanks Rodknock....By questioning my integrity you gave me a great opportunity to give potential GT40 sellers detailed information about what type of person they'll be dealing with....My guess is, based on the PICTURES I have coming in of GT40's for sale....YOU put me over the top!!!
