Please excuse my anger!

First off please excuse my anger. If this post offends anyone, again I am sorry. The story: I have been chasing an all original 1969 Chevelle for 3 months now. The cars has its original owner, paint, interior, engine, tires, . . .ect. The car also has every piece of documentation to back up its authenticity. The seller of this car is doing his 75 year old neighbors a favor and clearly has NO clue how to sell a car and needless to say this guy is as smart as the rock wall in my backyard. I have been calling him on an average of once a week trying to squeeze some extra pictures and comments out about the car. Finally after a month and 4 calls, he agreed to send me a copy of the documentation folder he has along with a few pictures of the engine pad and cowl tag. A day later I got an e-mail back asking "what is an engine pad"? I explained it to him, and then he said he has never heard anything about an engine pad, and he wants an apology for the confusion. So I apologized and he agreed to get the pictures out. I am figuring everything is going fine now, and I have my finger crossed this car is everything this guy has said it is? Just as everything seems to be going well, I get an e-mail from this guy stating that taking more pictures is a "hassle" and the car is "no longer available." I was FLOORED! This guy had the nerve to say something like that after he has driven me wild while all I want is his neighbor's car. So, I took a deep breath, told him the not to worry about the pictures and to please rethink what he just told me. If he were not in AZ, (only an $1,800 trip) I would have had seen the car by now. I am going to have my closet friend inquire about the car. Then plan "B" is if the car is good, he will buy it, and I will buy it from him. Does anyone have any recommendations?

MosportGreen66,
Really Sorry--Have your friend inquire first if the car is for sale to him before you waste your money and time ,if it is still for sale ,but not to you then-I would think if your really set on this car---Someone should go to Arizona to close the deal IMO---- of course, there are members on the board with more experience than me in buying cars across the country------JoeG------Maybe he got a better offer????--

Dan,
Where in AZ is the car? If the guy agrees I might be able to swing by and take a look and get some digital pictures. I am in the Phoenix area, so if it isn't to far from me I may be able to help you out. Let me know.

Great Help guys! I think he is rather far away from you though. He said he is about 2 hours away from Las Vegas. I can check out his area code a little later.

Well, two hours from vegas I don't believe is in Arizona. I will be up in the north west area in a week or so to see my folks who live up there. drop me a note and if its in the area I am going I would be happy to stop in to see it and get the details if possible..

How about you PM me his phone # with area code? Quite likely I can get you his street address, name and phone # of his neighbours, driving directions, and even an aerial photo of the place. Don't ask how I do it, I may have to kill you.

Denis,
That's great, but just make sure none of the Smart-Bombs hit the Chevelle!--- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Could be Kingman, Bullhead City, or Lake Havasu, Arizona. They're all a couple hours south of Las Vegas. Stuart Adams owns most of the cool muscle cars in that neighborhood. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This guy told me to fly into Bull City Airport or Las Vegas Airport. I will e-mail you his phone number. Please send one of those smart bombs over to scare him. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Found him. Shawn White lives in Kingman with his significant other Eleanor. The phone # he gave Dan appears to be an unlisted cell phone number in the Las Vegas exchange. I found at least one posting of his where he advertised several el-cheapo musclecars for sale. Possibly a used car dealer, obviously a liar.
