Solo Vette

Believe me I know how you feel. I had no idea of those issues or I wouldn't have sold it. Oh and I know you are not blaming Rob. The whole thing sucks.

First, the rust spot I spoke of that I told you about was when I said there was a soft spot close to the seam up near the front. Now you are correct that Rob was doing the work I asked him to do and paid him for. We had a conversation as to the frame rails, and as you found out you couldn't see it with the motor in the car. Hell Rob did the wiretuck and I am POSITIVE if he had seen something that was an issue he would have made me aware of it. Like I said, we didn't see it. Now I would agree as I stated earlier, I would be upset about the motor HAD WE NOT HAD THE phone conversations that we did. As a matter of fact in that meeting at Oreilly you even commented on how the guy seemed well less than knowledgable. As for the Powerdyne arguement, like I told you it would not have been my first choice, but I work with what I have and it was on the car. As for the dick move at Oreilly, I am bad with faces unless on a regular basis. Anyone that knows me knows I cannot hear shit, however when I realized what the hell, we stood there and had a conversation. You think I intentionally did that, no I didn't. That big of a dick move would have been followed by the same thing. End all is this, I said on the phone, I had no clue about the motor, and told you I had not verified the internals. So I guess if taking someones word and info that was in print is being a crook, then I guess I am because I took that guys word ffor it and passed the car along with that info. Again, I think the whole mess sucks, but acting like I puposely deceived you is kind of irritating. DISCLAIMER- I do not find anyone that I had look at the car responsible for not seeing the rust. Putting that in there so noone can twist it.

Ok Mike I have heard enough. When we spoke, I told you that the info I posted and the info I told you was going on the info I received from Schultz from whom I bought the car. I even told you I had my doubts which is why I was going to build another motor that I knew what it was. Now maybe I should have said, was told it was a 306 in my listing, however for all you asshats that talk shit about a Powerdyne, guess that thing must have been making some power. Now several things I am going to get out in the open. First I asked you; Have you looked at the car, have you looked it over, your reply was "yes I looked at it while it was at Gearheadz" Next....Regarding the floorboard issue. I clearly stated there was a soft spot at the front, you replied "Not a big issue" A week or so after you bought the car apparently you were at O Reilly saying that I didn't have a clue what I was doing and the parts on the car were all wrong. Well I refer you back to the Powerdyne arguement then. No ported heads, no 306, yet it made how much horsepower? Ok it was the Gearheadz sticker that did it all. Next I ran into you at Oreilly and you told me about the hole under the driver side of the car, but you did not indicate that was a big deal. When I bought that car, I had my body guy look at it and he saw nothing that was of any concern. When it hit Rob's again I said hey check it out I do not want to go putting a ton of money into a car that only looks good I need it to be solid. Do you honestly think I would have paid 5300 for it then put all the money I did into it if I thought it was a heap? If I had known about the rust beneath the shock towers I would have had that fixed first. Like I said I did tell you about the soft spot on the floorboard. Just like the engine, I told you up front....This is what I was told. Now yes I can see your point about the ad, like I said my mistake for not stating I was told a 306. Look I bought it with the intentions of using it for SCCA, then my idea changed and I spoke to enough people about using a t top Mustang and they all frowned on the idea. I also told you I did not need to sell it. Do you honestly think I would have had it at Rob's being worked on when you bought it if I had known these issues? Seriously? Now you think in your opinion that I should have removed every nut and bolt and told you all about it? Come on. You post this on here as though I went to your house and robbed you? Yet you do not tell people of the information I gave you over the phone about the floor and about the fact I had no info about the bottom end, and that I was going off of what the guy I bought it from told me. You told me you were buying it for a driver, I said it would only need aa couple of things to make a decent driver. You chose to tear it apart, and hey that is your business, but do not get on here and insinuate that I flat out lied. I tried to be as honest as I could with info gained from sources I deemed reliable. As for the previous owner I told you then as you have found out after meeting him and I will say it now, I had doubts as to what he told me. Also, you knew I only had the car a short time, once again was I supposed to pull the engine and give the frame rails a cat scan? OK so I guess I got taken. I did a visual on the car and found nothing that concerned me, I never saw anything on the frame rails. I doubt Caleb Schultz knew about it. Now you kept telling me Rob had a head off, Rob had a head off. I said not that I know of, you said you saw it over there with a head off, well I never had him remove one, nor did he ever charge me for such. If he HAD taken a head off and we knew shit wasn't done, then I certainly would have modified my listing. I am also certain if you had conversations with Rob before purchasing the car, he would have told you pretty much the same things I did. I told you that he thought he saw port work, and two people were there and saw what he did. Sorry but on the phone I mentioned all of this. Just my .02

Paul, let me know. I haven't been boarding in forever. Nevermind, i couldn't fix my car, I am sure I will fail at boarding too.

Looking for something to drive, do not have time for a project, referring to the roller. I am looking for something even as far as trade. That Nova is badass, however I am limited on time to drive what I have so I'm not in a position to spend more.

Also interested in trades, preferably not a Fox. Anybody interested let me know.

Bump any offers? And before you get to it Rob, $500.00 is not an offer I will accept haha.

I couldn't agree more. The problem is the laws for what happens to abusers and people that neglect the animals in the state of Ohio are way to vague, and soft. Animal Control Officer is what I am finishing school for, and the way it seems is that Ohio is on the bottom as far as punishment for the offenders. The only way to look at it is, thank God for the selfless people and organizations that are out there looking out for the interest and well being of the animals.

Yeah that is what I thought, hell I have seen very few SN95's hold up well when it comes to the leather, just doesn't seem as forgiving as the stuff they put in the Fox. My buddy said something about the paint on that black one, but like I said I did not see it. On top of that he is one of those guys that wants it perfect, if not he wants to pay $1 for it. Good luck, let me know how it turns out.

http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/1462821670.html That is the ad for the one at Royal Auto, I am not sure where they are. That car is nice. I think now that I have seen it in person. I am almost positive it was a Hummer of Columbus trade in, but I cannot be positive. My curiousity surrounds the steering wheel replacement? No airbag? What happened. Oh and the one you are going to look at I was told is rough. Now everyone elses standards are different. My buddy was going to buy it and trade it for my '86. I did not see it, he just told me it was rough around the edges. As for the belt snapping, well I have my car limited at 5600, I have never pushed my motors, I would rather have one I can drive for 5 years, not rebuild it 5 times in a year. I put the Kevlar replacement belt in my blower, it maybe has 500 miles on it. I talked with the guy at 928 at length and he told me that reliability and ability to service the Powerdyne is why they use them. Hey it was on my car and after truly educating myself with charts, graphs, and multiple people's experience I did not find it worth the cost of upgrading. Look sell it used for 1000, and spend more than twice that for a Paxton, or Vortech, or ATI? For what maybe an additional 10-15 HP over the Powerdyne? Like I said, it was on the car, and it works just great, has the Kevlar belt and the upgraded bearings. Good luck on the Cobra search, and let me know what that one you are looking at tomorrow looks like.

No kidding Rob, and to top it off somewhere I have a copy of the flow comparison. So if the Powerdyne is a failboat design, then if the Vortech and Paxton entry levels flow almost the same, then they too must be failboat. Look everyone can say what they want, however I have had good luck with them in the past. 928 Motorsports uses them exclusively, and they use them for road race applications. Hey I know Brian dislikes them as well as many other people, but mine must be doing something right. Enough thread jacking. Mike, did you see the 94 Cobra at Royal Auto on Craigslist? Looks decent, I have not seen it in person though. I was looking for one of these when I bought the 86 but the few I found were trashed.

Bump $6000.00

Yeah Kellie Pickler has some nice bewbs! I think I will just take a sandwich!

Bump $6300 OBO, with the new fender in primer. There is a delay at the shop.

Stan, good luck on the Christmas shopping! Car is still available. bump

Maybe not like a complete dime store hooker, I might be nice to her, make her buy me a new ZR-1 then dime store hooker treatment! Then afterwards I would be famous and tabloid material, and I would propose to Miley, but still have a fling with Taylor occasionally.

New intake price by chance?

Bump Fender will be painted and on the car next week.

Wow you are dumb. I said in my fenced in back yard . Oh an since you seem to be dense that is not public. So I am ignorant for letting my dog out in my back yard. The point I think we are all wondering is what did this dog do that caused police to shoot? Haze get a clue. There is nothing ignorant about having my dogs in my own fenced yard. I wish the owner the best. No matter why, it sucks to lose a pet.

Are you an idiot? Come on dummy, I said occasionally. When I water my flowerbeds my Jack Russells like to play in the water. Now once we are done I have to remove her collar so that it can dry and she doesn't get a rash. That is owner ignorance? Sure thing. No I was not there, read my post again. I said that they cannot just run around discharging firearms anymore than you or I can legally. Then I followed that by saying that someone must have been in iminent danger for them to have done that. All of my dogs have tags and vaccinations, you want to see the Vet bills? Oh and mine are kept in a fenced in yard that I check daily. Doesnt mean things cannot happen. There are pieces missing here, I would just like more details. I just find it hard to imagine a 7 year old Boxer hurting someone without provocation.

No I did not miss that fact, but occasionally I let my dog out without tags in my fenced yard, So if she gets out what are the police going to do shoot my Jack Russell because she has no tags? Come on, seriously. This is why you call the police, and they have animal control come out. The douchebag police cannot go around randomly discharging a gun anymore than you or I can legally. Ok so a dog has no tags, look Officer Fife cap that mofo. Really? Then why have animal control. Now if somone was in iminent danger then yes the officers were justified. Just my $.02

I agree there seems to be something missing, but a 7 year old boxer, what the hell could it have done to get shot? Piss on a cruisers tire? I mean seriously. I have seen animal control deal with some pretty mean animals so what did this 7 year old animal do that threatened the general public???? I doubt the dog was mean or the guy wuld not have just let it out.

That sucks, I recently put mine down after 15yrs. Sorry to hear it. Nothing can really be said, just f ing sucks. Very sorry

Clay, go to the O Reilly, drive the Vette, let Derrick admire it! Great deals, great service, and outstanding knowledge from Derrick, Dave, or Mike. Dave is a great guy gave me a good deal on a motor, and is always pleasant and helpful on the phone.

Kurt, no I have not listed it anywhere else as of now. Thank you for you assistance, much appreciated.
