I looked at this car for years and spoke the woman many times. never interested in selling. Just down the road from Atco Dragway.

[scuncio]

Pretty hardcore rant, but it sure sucks to get burned on a car like that....

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Hmmm.... not sure how he feels about it..... seems I've heard that rant before though..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[MultiMopars]

A case of both sour grapes and an example of NOT tying up the deal. ALWAYS give a deposit with a bill of sales showing the V.I.N., balance due, time frame for balance due, sellers name, address, buyers name address, and if possible a notory. This creates a contract that is enforceable.

[Tarrytown SS427s]

Does anybody have any good pictures/other info on this car? It sure looks neat and I'm sure there's one hell of a story behind it!

[owners2]

That's one hell of a pissed of man there.but he sounds like he's pissed because he couldn't get the car for a lowball steal. Should alway's bring cash & be ready to take it on the spot if needed. He sounds like he's a 1/2 A--hole to me.

Here you go, I copied it, figured it would get flagged. I cleaned up the language a bit so I wouldn't get blamed for the offensive language

Link still works for me. Dude is pissed thats for sure however as stated above he should have stepped up to the plate/paid more and then he would probably own it.

[gb70]

Gee, I wonder how he really feels.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fast67VelleN2O]

It sounds like he had a chace for the car at 5k and snoozed to get his "restoration shop and rollback" secured. I would have never let that car out of my sight if they agreed to 5k.

[Don_Lightfoot]

Ya, this dude needs a better sense of direction. Why be mad at the guy who stepped up to the plate and bought the car while he was snoozing http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

He doesn't say that a deal was in place with the Black family. If it was, then his anger should be directed at them http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[SuperNovaSS]

I hope the seller is OK. He should have sucked it up and called a tow truck on the spot and rented a storage space if necessary. Looks like a sweet project vette.

That guy has some anger management issues to take care off.

Wonder what he will do when he find that buyer...

No kidding. I would have showed up with the 5 grand and a duffel bag and lived in it until the truck got there.

Not even worth messing with. That posting is the sign of a mentally unstable individual that you don't want to antagonize, whether or not you can kick his ass.

A similar situation locally a couple of years back ended with the guy who got sniped on a car showing up at the buyer's house in the middle of the night with a gun. If someone like that shows up on my doorstep, I'm locking the front door, locking the kids in their rooms, loading my gun, and calling the cops. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

[clopo]

Your gun should already be loaded. It is an angry world we live in today.

[Dog427435]

Working in Hunt’s Point for 10 years I learned if you’re not loaded and chambered you might as well have a stick! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[Fast67VelleN2O]

I never make it on the other side of Atco ever.

[ddmrk]

as many time that I have gone to Atco and down the side roads never noticed the car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Your point? At $20,000 its a great deal regardless if original or not.

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Oh I know. I would have given 20k all day for that, small or big block.

[ctbZ]

So this guy is pissed off because he was going to steal this thing from "the old Black Family" first for less than $20,000?

[427TJ]

Yep, that sounds line sour grapes. Probably low-balled the owner(s) for years and then someone with a real offer got the car.

[67 GTO]

This guy must have been ecstatic when he thought he was getting the car.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to 'stealing' deals, but 5K??? Tough luck, cheapskate.

Absolutely visible. Sat next to the house. The car sat on Ellwood Ave. two houses in from Jackson Rd. For those local to the area, this is the street that comes in diagonally behind the old Wawa on Jackson Rd.

[al8apex]

so the ~ street address for us wanting to google it would be ... ?

[DannyD]

no idea what the address is. Can't you search the street?

[Xplantdad]

I see a red car next to the house three houses from Ellwood ave?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/xplantdad/ellwood.jpg

[DannyD]

Actually it is (was) the car parked next to the 2nd house. It had a plastic tarp on it for a while covering it partially. The driver door was hanging open for around 5 years.

There ought to be laws against crazy car stalkers like us.I feel creepy just looking at those pictures.Some guy leaves a foul rant on Craigslist because he got outbidded on the car he tried to buy and they guys who are calling him crazy are the ones posting satillite images of the car in question.

[markjohnson]

Well, I feel symphathy for the guy and I hope he runs into the car someday with the owner that weasel'ed it out from underneath him. I have no use for people like that either and he'd better hope that I would never run into him or that car at a car show. For those that are calling him a cheapskate.....if someone told you to make an offer on a car that sat with it's door open for years, would you automatically jump all the way up to $20,000? I didn't think so. You'd offer $5,000 first. When somebody tells me something is sold, I back off. Shame on the Black family too for not honoring the original deal. They put a price on their "word" thus making it worthless.

I call http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif Does anyone know for a fact that the weasel had it bought for 5 grand??

[snydes]

I think bottom line the owners of the car should have made a quick phone call to the guy offering 5k and give him a chance at it and the new price, although I have to admit if it were me and someone came up and offered me 15k more on the spot, it would be hard to say anything other than "take it away".

[njsteve]

The lesson is this: whenever you think you have a deal make darn sure you leave a deposit with the seller, no matter what the person says about holding it for you. Just tell them that you feel better about it and that they can do whatever they like with the deposit, hold it, cash it, deposit it, whatever, but at least you have more than someone's word they'll hold it for you.

To most laymen out there, they consider themselves contractually obligated to sell the car to someone if they have $$$ in hand, anything else and they feel they can change their mind.

Sadly, these days, a person's word is worth as much as the paper it's written on. With very few exceptions, the days of a handshake deal are long gone.

[sYc]

Before I got too critical of the buyer and seller, I would want to hear both sides of the story. By reading the rant on Craig's list, I am not for sure if that is the type of individual that would post all of the facts, or the truth for that matter. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[njsteve]

Absolutely. Probably was a guy who's been bugging the owner for years but never bothered to put up any real cash, and now is pissed because someone else did.

We don't know any facts,did the guy say he would give $5k then not show up for a month,etc, did he leave a deposit,stay in contact w/seller,I doubt that he went to get a tow truck then the car was gone in 2 hours,I sell equip. for a living and get lied to everyday by people who say they will take it,then won,t give a deposit,won't answer their phone when called, won't return messages,if a buyer isn't serious people won,t wait,we need more facts.

If they ever really existed. You may have made handshake deals Steve, as others no doubt have, but ask any serious businessman and he'll tell you his first rule is "trust no one." Money talks and bull$hit walks. If you want to score a "yard find" '66 427 Corvette you'd better step-up fast with real cash in your hand. Otherwise a faster, more serious shark with cash in-hand (in his bloody teeth!) is gonna' make the deal. Handshake deals are okay but with strangers I'll bet you moved quickly so as to make sure the other guy honored his end of the handshake.

I'll bet that one fact is that the Corvette's owner(s) knew what they had, otherwise it would have been snatched up a long time ago. Dozens, at least dozens, of hungry sharks probably tried to pry that Corvette away from its owners over the years and it kept on sitting there. The right money--for that very moment--finally showed up and away it went.
