Default Re: 1970 Nova SS 396 on Ebay

Me a $hit-disturber???.

Although exceptions, I feel most of the scrutiny ever seen here is usually like-minded enthusiasts helping each other determine what to look for and see (or not to see) with GENUINE-ORIGINAL Hi-Performance musclecars also the sharing and scrutiny of the facts and details that help in the identification, preservation and restoration of these cars also their unique components..

No, outright bashing isn't good as perhaps that Hemmings car thread was a good example of...but if something is for sale and scrutiny helps another enthusiast realize what it truly is or helps them feel comfortable enough with what they see and know to pull the trigger, that's a good thing for everyone...including a seller!.
If there seems to be a fraudulent side of things, is it wrong in being pointed out before someone makes a major move when they perhaps shouldn't?.

As Randy already noted, perhaps he took more offence in this case as his knowing the subject car also owner he already felt the comfort of the situation and stated facts?.
Personally I don't feel anyone here was too critical as the postings all seemed to be in mentioning minor points of the car itself and/or responses to statements made in the seller's description?. Overall I think everyone here likes the car, loves the color and wasn't disputing it being a genuine L78 car...all good things!?.

No matter if it's big or small, I learn something here each and every day and appreciate the way others share their combined knowledge here freely...that's one of the best and most amazing thing about this site!.
