Frank -- Keep it all "Pontiac" -- put an LS GTO take out in it!

LOL

They'd still hate it - AND now you know why I quit the NCRS!!

oh god Greg where you in NCRS? I have owned a bunch of Corvettes and used to belong to a few local Corvette clubs and had to deal with NCRS a bit. I'm happy you recovered.
:unibrow:

I don't drink - don't smoke - and don't do NCRS.... I overdid all of them.

:woot:

the NCRS guys practically drove me out of the corvette hobby. I couldn't stand them.

The guy that bid on Empty Nest in Vegas would of got a much better deal this time around.

I think it is pretty amazing that BJ would take a car back because the buyer can't emission it in the state he lives. I think that should be up to the buyer before he buys something to check that out.

i loved the car and thought the theme was dead nuts. very nice:thumbsup:

Tonny -

Silver auctions warns people REPEATEDLY that if you are a NEVADA resident - to NOT bid on a car that didn't SMOG... So either BJ is a complete newb at this and didn't warn the bidders -- or the bidder wasn't paying attention...

When you sign over your title at BJ no reserve auction - THEY are the seller - and when they hammer it SOLD IT SOLD IT SOLD IT... it's THEIR problem. They did the right thing by asking Frank if he'd rather try again at Scottsdale -- or they'd pay him the selling price. Very nice and proper of them in my opinion. Who knows - Frank may have been unhappy with the price - or wanted to gamble that maybe he'd get more at Scottsdale... but that was for him to decide. As it happens - he gambled correctly and is happy.

Especially when he looks in that fun house mirror....:rofl:

New owner called today, he is pretty damn excited. BJ told him someone in California had it and was playing with it until a couple weeks ago. BJ also showed him their notes, they expected $155K for it!

I guess the console is crushed, maybe someone sat on it? He asked if there was anything I would do to it, I explained I would tame the engine down, change the camshaft (smaller). It might very well be coming home to Florida.

He says he has 20 cars, shows them, drives them all a little. He is not going to beat on this one. I was real up front about a car with a pearl white engine compartment gets pretty heat stained when driven a lot (I know). He realizes it is a show piece and promises to keep it 100% perfect forever. It even sounds like I might have acsess to it or he may show up at places we go. Would that not be cool. This is interesting to say the least.

Just goes to show u Frank that good things happen to GOOD PEOPLE (that's U Frank!!! ) lol ---- Love that car --jim :D
