Wow, a sad turn of communication and I apologize for posting the link to the sale if it has created more misery than help.
My communication with the seller clearly indicated that he was neither a car guy nor an internet guy (no disrespect Dale)and it was only my intention to help get the word out on this significant piece of history. Those in the know and in a position to buy have already done their due diligence in regards to this automobile. I myself made a few phone calls even though I am not a buyer.
I am in complete bewilderment as to how a sibling of mine would handle the care of my children if my wife and I were to pass tragically. The fact that I would also leave additional assorted vehicles of unknown value and no use to them except for the maximum available dollar would just complicate the primary care mission that was thrust upon them.
I am not going to pass judgment on anyone's comments especially if they have legit questions, but there is a phone number listed on the auction for answers. Give this guy a break for Gods sake!! I would never want to be in his shoes. Good Luck Dale.
