From your earlier post, I also find it strange to NOT accept cash. If all is legit, I'm sure there's a reason, but it doesn't seem right to implicitly state: NO CASH.

I guess the PHS and build sheet are lying.

Based on his PY presence muscle collector seems like a good guy IMO.

Seller is a long time and active member on PY.
Has a HUGE collection of MuscleCars from way back. Mostly Pontiacs. Mostly the more prestigious pedigree types. He's been slowly thinning the herd for past couple years. Its a Real JVert. Not pristine tho. And a real auction by the real owner. I agree with the spoiler being a hardtop version. But looks like it has been on there since before he bought it. Car is unchanged since he dragged it out of the northeast many years ago. Ram3 JVerts - even in this economy era - bring 125-175 everytime if restored nice. Some ask/expect even way more. Up to a certain point of entry - its worthy of full resto. |

If you can't restore this car and still have profit in it at this price you're doing it wrong!

Fair enough- your car, your rules. You can understand my caution though, having been targeted in an eBay scam.

I did no such thing. Perhaps you should go back and read what I wrote. I simply said that I would need some verification to make sure it was a legitimate listing before I handed over any money. I've been in the business long enough to know where to stop short of slander. Perhaps you should extend the same level of caution.

Don of course you couldn't have known who it was in real life; and maybe you still don't, that is why it was so funny.
I can't blame you for not back reading the link in post #2 because I certainly don't do that all the time myself; not that it would have helped you identify the seller. I was just talking to musclecar_collector on the way home tonight on the phone about our ID's on here and why so few of us use our real names; but as discussed with him in the early forum years so many of us didn't really give a serious thought to an ID, we were just horsing around on the internet and probably never conceived it would turn into all this. If you don’t know who he is yet; maybe he will tell you, and maybe that still won’t mean anything to you. But you state to have been in this business a long time; so chances are you do know. I knew this car was being brought out of storage for sell several weeks ago; so I had insight the general public did not know, not that it’s a great secret or anything Now let me clear some things up for you. The seller in his selling details is in fact being as careful as he possibly can to protect himself against the exact scoundrels you referred to. If you were to take reference from Milt, Kevin, or any of the other thousands of car enthusiast musclecar_collector has done business with over the last four decades I think you would be hard pressed to find one negative review. For the car, well it is an ugly rolling tub of nasty blue!!! I am not even sure I have seen an uglier Judge in my decades of fooling around with these cars; I thought that the very first time I saw it and still do. BUT I am having a hard time understanding why so many are talking negative about its condition as I have seen far worse restored many times! This thing doesn’t even need a trunk pan and that is the first thing to go on these cars 9 of 10 times. And aside from the heater core leak rust (probable cause anyway), there seems to be little structure damage. And the frame! Holly cow I bet a thousand restored muscle cars could only dream of having such a solid frame; but hey that’s just my opinion. So take a seat and let’s see if it gets a good home. |

Being from Upstate New York, I have seen cars much worse get top-notch restorations, so the condition wasn't a big deal for me. I understand the need for caution- I have done sales with PayPal as a down payment and a wire transfer for the balance and that worked out fine. PayPal works fine up to $2,000 but gets less efficient to use above that figure. I do hope it goes to a good home and gets restored. Thank you for the clarification- it is appreciated! :-)

You check the breakdown between the 4-speed and 3-speed?
Guess you kind of missed the point in the money paid and the condition of the supposd rare car.

....and you're missing the reality here - it costs the same to restore two convertibles, a 69 & a 71. If the 71 will get you 30k restored numbers matching and the 69 will get you between 125 & 190k restored with a NOM motor, which one is worth more unrestored?
