Re: T rant
I saw an authentic 1930s supe job on Ebay for sale; the guy wanted $27,000 for his queen. I wanted the car too, but not knowing anything about it I wasn't about to agree to an outrageous price. His ad said he would respond to all questions.
So I sent him a few questions about the car; and he had no answers, said all my questions were over his head, suggested I come look at the car (1000 miles from the house).
I studied the car thoroughly and sent him a build sheet based on the photographs, down to the carbs, and minute mechanical options. Then I offered him $2,000 more than the car was really worth (about $19,000). He insisted the car was worth his asking price.
Obviously, he still owns the car.
