I havent dealt much with anyone in Wisconsin, other than on a 78 TA that was all rusted out, and going to a few swap meets to buy some misc. parts. I have some friends in Wisconsin, but I didnt know of ANY ENIMIES.
Do you have a problem with me because I am in the business of keeping these cars alive and restoring them to the best condition we can. Trying to keep as many cars from getting crushed as I can, and keeping them around for our kids to be able to enjoy!
Yes, I am in business, and just like any other business we have to make money and make it worth our while to stay in business to do what we can. I have customers all over the country, and I make it a point to do the best I can in not only representing myself and any cars I might sell, restore, or consign. Unlike a particular vehicle that I purchased from a gentleman in Wisconsin that failed to represent the multitude of RUST that was in the car.
But hey, we all make mistakes. I took the 78 from WI that I really didnt want with all the body rust (It did run good) and traded it to a friend in town that still has it today, hoping to repair/restore it someday when he has the time and money.
If you have a problem, please let me know what it is about. I am not out to make enimies. Life is too short for that, we are not in High School anymore. The Pontiac community itself is very small, and it is only us that will help keep these cars alive and help restore them to keep them around for the future.
I hope you can get over what ever your problem is.
Take care.
Dave

You are absolutely correct in saying that life is too short to make enemies....however, I am familiar with the transaction you are referring to and the person that sold you the '78 is a friend of mine. I also know that he has sold a lot of cars and parts and goes out of his way to make sure he describes it properly. He is all to aware that there are many people who misrepresent what they sell and he is not one of them. I find it interesting that in your dealing with him, you agreed to a price with him and then when you showed up to pick up the car, suddenly it wasn't worth what you agreed upon. The real kicker is that only hours after buying this car which you described as "that I really didn't want" you took it to the swap meet at Jefferson, put it in the car corral and priced it somewhere around DOUBLE what you just paid for it. I know this because I was at Jefferson and saw the car there with the price and your name on it! I have no problem with someone making a living with what you do, but to beat up a fellow hobbyist over the price just to put a few more dollars in your pocket borders a bit on the unethical side if you ask me.
