<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Charley Lillard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Phil you have been trashing the car by saying the rear floors need replacing and then we see what is in fact pretty nice floors. You say the car had quadrajet fuel lines and then we see a single line. You then go on to say it has a big block heater box that looks new or refinished and we are then shown what does not look like an new or refinished box. At this point I don't think anyone is going to believe whatever you say about this car. Can we stick to facts please and not bring some unknown agenda into this ? I'm about to lock this thread. </div></div>

Amen Brother!!

Have to agree,this is all sounding like sour grapes for the most part.

So Phil you passed on this car because the after market heater core?? I would love to see some pictures of the car when you looked at it the first time, If you say you told the owner what to look for and he made the changes, Please post the pictures.

I Did not pass in it I did not get the chance. I tried to perform the additional due diligence needed in an honest attempt to validate the car. I am left to conclude that I spooked the seller.

Doug has pictures and he has posted them. Doug has located the original owner and the car is a COPO.

If I post pictures the next allegation will be that they are photo shopped. If I am not believable with what I am telling you what would make me believe that posting pictures would change your minds? In review:

Doug introduced the allegation that His car was &quot;Discredited&quot; at post 560292 on page 7 which I read and this opened the discussion for the other side of the story--so and replied to his post on page 7 at post 562096.

Again on page 7 at post 562115 Doug states a different story. I replied on page 7 at post 562136 to correct the record and add additional information.

So if you would have had a chance to get the car would you have pulled the trigger??

I do not know...I never got a price. Guy never called me back. After I looked at the car the first time for three hours on a lift -the car had a massive set of Calvert Racing Cal Tracs on it as well and a healthy 427 in it but the car was badged as a 396.

I do recall that he was asking me why I needed three additional hours to look at the car when I called him back on the phone and he questioned why I felt qualified or needed to make a determination? I recall telling him that I was a blue coat Gold Spinner Judge at Chevy Vettefest and a Member of the SYC Forum here.

This was over 10 years ago now. My how time flies...

Here is the black camaro's engine compartment just before I took it apart to restore it. Does anything in this picture look like he took any ones advice and changed anything to present it as a COPO car???

THIS is a dead horse as far as I am concerned and the last I will say or post about it.....
