Mike, no problem with someone posting factual information about a car that might provide further insight to a buyer about a potential purchase. No problem with posting a recollection like Toolguys and stating an opinion.

Totally different from posting a bunch of groundless supposition inferred from a couple of pictures on the net concerning a car that you haven't even seen, especially when that supposition borders on slander of a seller you don't know dick about. That sort of crap does not serve the buyer, the seller or this board.

My point completely. It's one thing to post a question about the origin of a car you may remember was damaged at one point. It's entirely another the post baseless innuendo like this car is crap because you have no clue how to fix it.

I would really lime to see the quality of the repairs. There have been some very damaged and dismembered cars repaired that at one time in their early life would have been considered a total loss purely based on book value.

You just don’t get it. The seller originally didn’t even mention the car had extensive damage. Let’s assume the repairs were perfect. The buyer still deserves to know the car had an entire front grafted on. I have purchased cars that had been totaled and repaired but the seller was up front and I knew what I was buying and paid accordingly. This seller originally didn’t mention the damage. They update the description probably due to this forum. The potential buyer now has the information to make an educated purchase. FYI there was nothing baseless about the fact the car was trashed before it was repaired.

No I did not get that from the first post or the second one. How many "restored cars" sold on eBay disclose what has been done? How do we know if t h e seller even knows what was done? This car could have changed hands a couple times. I'm just saying someone should check the car out and report back to this thread before we flame a guy selling a restored car.
