Ralph.....What if we tried to sell you a R model Fairlane but when you asked for the vin we ignore your request. You have been asked several times to just show pics of what we would consider the "R" but you have ignored us. You can consider it bashing but you really bring it on yourself. It is OK to be wrong. Your response always seems to be to take the offensive instead of just showing us the "R" and sorting out what your car really is. Now you want to meet up with the bashers and they will have their hands full ? Are you like 14 years old ? We have bent over backwards but it won't last much longer. You have been cut alot of slack because you are not just someone coming to the site to peddle cars. If you were a outsider that came here trying to sell your car the way you have you would be long gone by now.

It must be L89 week, ive seen 5/6 cars for sale this week alone,and about 40 references to heads and parts being on only 311 cars and L89 specific . I guess one jerk pays too much for his car on ebay last month and this is the result

Here's an email I sent the seller:

"Nice Camaro. Are you saying that it (IS) one of the 311 L78's made in 69 or that it is (like) one of the 311. If it is one of the 311 can you send a picture of the block pad to [email protected] . Also, what documentation do you have on the car."

Here's the response:

"ALL THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDED WAS TOLD TO US BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IF THERE IS INFO THAT YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT HELP US PLEASE LET US KNOW. THANKS"

It's always the same with sellers like that. Plausible deniability.

"LOL..It just dawned on me who that jerk was"......Yes, that "jerk" would be yours truly

Lets see, I have been a Chevy guy all my life. And if I came across a RARE Ford, I think I would have done some research before shooting of my mouth. And shame on Marlin for not jumping to your aid when he has own life to live. Maybe, JUST MAYBE he had more important things on his mind like his own life. People like this just kill me that you should jump when they tell or ask us. The bottom line, do your own homework before you put a car up FOR SALE.

This guy's unbelievable...if Marlin ends up in the trunk of an R-Code Fairlane we'll know why....

HA

Now this is getting good!

My wife calls me two weeks ago and says this guy Ralph so-n-so called, and I'm to call him back. I ask what about, but Ralph didn't say. I don't call him back then, sounds like a telemarketer to me. The next time you call wanting something, leave a message if it's a Nova question.

This thread has gone very smoothly, the only requests are for you to show the pics of the tach (reportedly a low redline, indicating an L34 or L48), core support (appears to missing a vital nut specific to BB cars), and the engine stamp (reportedly boogered up, and might be a rehit). If you could oblige the requests, you just might enjoy this experience!

BTW, don't threaten people - that will get you booted off of this site, and you will 'sleep with the rabbits'.

Damn I am glad I don't know enough about any cars to get into discussions like this! It has been FUNNY THOUGH! I guess when GM comes out with all the NUMBERS for everyone! Is that going to be like when the stock market CRASHED many years ago! How many people you figure will be RUN OVER by that BUS!I have a 67 chevelle SS with aluminum heads does that mean it is a L89! So I bought them frome EDELBROCK does that really matter!I had them stored in the trunk of the car for 2 months before I gathered all the internals for the engine!I do have the paperwork on them and the old 396 steel heads to boot! OK I will behave now just funning everyone a little!
