Re: Mecum Auction Hemi Fest
I dont own the car anymore so if it sells for a dollar or a million I really dont care.. I am friends with the current owner but to say the ad is misleading and especially fraudulent get real!
How is this not a real deal car with matching body numbers?? The car is 100% a REAL 1971 HEMI CAR and Correct me if Im wrong but in the Mopar world matching body numbers mean original COWL, RADIATOR SUPPORT AND VIN TAG (all are stamped with the vin..( at least thats what Ive always been told and from the 10 or so HIGH end Mopar collectors I know they all say the same) all of which clearly this car has. So where is the lying coming in?
Say a Camaro on the Zl1 list is found and it has all its original hidden vins and original vin on the car is it real? Case in point the Green ZL1 that was found in California dressed as a Z28 with a small block.. restored to original with correct parts.. Nice write up about the car and sold for fair money.. Was that car not REAL? Because Id sure like to have it! Not a numbers car but didnt sell for numbers money either just like this Cuda will.
Im just confused NO where does that Hemi car say its NUMBERS MATCHING CAR, it just says matching body numbers to let people know its not a rebody because there are a couple floating around.
I personally dont see anything misleading thing with the ad, most people spending that kind of coin ask questions too. There is a ton of PROOF it is a Hemi car, Good docs, Galen made the tags and doc'd the car (most take his word as being good) it has had a very nice nut and bolt resto?? Im sure Galen will be on site at the auction, and his report will be available on the car..so what gives? The car is what it is and wont bring Numbers Matching money.. Infact I bet the owner will lose money on this car because the Mopar market has taken such a BIG BIG HIT.
Should the ad read old 1971 Cuda with trunk pan replaced and upper valance, body numbers are present and match but look for yourself, found in Florida by a couple Mopar guys, have some papers that are in a book, some guy from Wisconsin looked at it and said its real, looks good it has been worked on.
Do you think the owner is trying to hide something?? I pretty sure if he was Greg and Toms names wouldnt have been mentioned because most Mopar guys know the car as the Barber Shop car that was in the magazines back in the early 90's.
The car has a correct dated Hemi out a late 1970 Hemi Cuda, most parts are correct dated, it has a Dana 60, Hemi 4 Speed and restored back what Galen has stated it was. I guess if someone is a fraud it would he him then?? pretty sure most Mopars guy wouldnt agree with you on that one. Im not saying Galen is God but when it comes to a Mopar I myself trust him more than any other guy 100%.
Im not trying to start a war just curious why a legit Hemi car is getting questioned? And why the same fraudulent charges havent been made about 70% of the other cars out there that we all know about?
P.S. Yes Marlin those pics bring back great memories.. It was just like that!
