1969 COPO engine

[iluv69s]

I guess I am wrong, but I thought the sight allowed in the past one time FOR SALE posts without membership for just this situation ?

I guess we should probably be thankful that the guy skirted the rules and posted anyway. Another COPO car my get it’s original engine.

I think we may miss out on some rare cars/parts if the site does not allow one time posts.

The post is still up correct? As I stated previously if the owner of car needs contact info I will provide. You can post in any forum except classified. The owner of the car was contacted via this site. If Greg just posted he had a copo engine and would love to reunite that wouldn't be an issue. when he put it for sale at $48k and made a few snarky coments refusing to become a paid member, that is crossing the line.

I realize you allowed his post. Kind of proves my point. These rare cars and parts posted here for us is more important than a one time payment of $30 for the site.

Guy did offer to make $100 Dollar donation if sold. He is only a middle man helping an elderly seller. Seemed fair.

I wonder how many folks would have posted thier rare car/part here for sale but could not, só they sold it else where. And we here lost the opportunity.

This site is not as ‘exclusive’ as it used to be. All the Yenko VINS are public for years now. Seller would most likely have gotten the same result if he posted on FB. Many of the ‘in the know’ folks are there also. I see Kurt S on FB all the time helping with info.

I’d bet that some of the sellers from FB that ended up with thier posts eventually copied here, may have tried to sell here first… so we lost the opportunity to buy first.

BTW, I think it was great when you ( the site) added the “FB and other for sale category!!

I respectfully think you should rethink the “No want ad posts at all if not a member” policy .

Appreciate all you do and this site !! Cheers
