I have spoken to the person who has the original M22 and BE rear end from my car . I am trying to buy the parts but there is a person by the name of Doug Perry who is trying to buy them also . The person with the parts indicated he had heard from Mr. Perry today ... I also know the man I bought the car from was getting calls from Doug Perry last week when I had bought the car and told me yesterday he is still getting calls from him.... not sure why someone would want to buy parts for a car that he knows is sold to another person and that person is trying to buy them himself to put back in the car. I would think for the sake of the car he would back out and let me put this together ! ....

I can only think of one reason why someone would do that and all I can say is that I don't like it.

I do not know that for sure PJ but that is the assumption most seem to have given the circumstances. However I don't want to get ahead of myself and want to give Mr. Perry the benfit of the doubt and hope he does the right thing and steps aside.. it may be a misunderstanding and he could be one heck of a guy and I hope he is .I don't know him so even though it is frustrating I don't want to assume he is some bad guy .. in the end I would like to think he is trying to help me but since it is apparent I am trying to put these parts back with the car I am not sure what to think . Maybe someone here knows Doug Perry ? "

Inappropriate post.

I think everyone needs to calm down about this deal because Doug is a member here and he should be giving the right to defend himself before you hang him or throw away the keys. He has known about this car for a while but never could track it down and he has been trying to buy these parts for some time as well. I am personal friends with Doug and he is a stand up guy that I trust. He told me about this car over the Summer and tracked it down to the area but could never close in on the car. He also placed ads in the local papers in the area if anyone knew the whereabouts of this car. So before you jump his As--ss give him a chance to talk. I just talked to Doug on the phone and he is away from a computer but he wanted me to post his phone number if anyone wants to talk about this situation. After the car was sold he stopped calling, hell maybe you should thank him for shaking this one loose. As for the parts, Doug has two 09A COPOs and I amagine these parts would have the same casting dates he is after for his cars??? 614-203-1272 Mark

Lets stop assuming the worst and inappropriate name calling. Lets hope the rear and trans return home real soon.

ChevyThunder · #46 02-19-2009, 06:17 AM

Like I said above I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt... I will call Doug tomorrow to discuss.

Thanks Mark

I agree .. I would like to make this happen but I certainly don't want people getting called names or having negative assumptions to the quality of their character being posted.

Van, congrats on the buy - great story and gut wrenching at best!

Chevy Thunder, please call me tommorrow after 11 AM EST.614-203-1272. There is ALOT more to this story than you know, thank you Doug Perry. As for the armchair quarterbacks that have nothing better to do then HIDE behind your keyboards and call people names feel free to call me as well. Some people on this site need to get a life, instead they decide to always put their noses in other peoples bussiness and try to involve themselves in all the soap operas because they have nothing better to do. This is why some guys on this site will not show photos of their restorations or cars for they fear the IDIOT POLICE. I will not discuss this publicly because it is NONE of their DAMN business, but Chevy Thunder please call me. Thank you. Moderators I am sorry for my outburst, but I will not let someone bash me publicly.

It sure seems like the OP doesn't assume you have a negative agenda:

"However I don't want to get ahead of myself and want to give Mr. Perry the benfit of the doubt and hope he does the right thing and steps aside.. it may be a misunderstanding and he could be one heck of a guy and I hope he is .I don't know him so even though it is frustrating I don't want to assume he is some bad guy .. in the end I would like to think he is trying to help me but since it is apparent I am trying to put these parts back with the car I am not sure what to think . Maybe someone here knows Doug Perry ? "

It is just a bit interesting that you are making calls about parts that go with the COPO. Not to speak for anyone else but I am sure the guys who posted the negative posts were being a bit reactionary.

Hopefully the original parts end up with the COPO!!

Too much bad stuff in the world for a bunch of car guys to have issues about something silly!!
