Thanks Joey. I met ole red alert on an airplane on the way to scottsdale a few years ago. Surprised at his negative comment. Oh well I guess I could have a few negatives about ol red also. I think this is an honest no excuse car otherwise I wouldnt own it..Especially wouldnt put it on this site where all the pro's are in tune!

Bob..For a no excuse car it has the wrong color grill, wrong leaf springs, rattle can black brake booster, inside out cowl induction seal, sits like a 4 wheel drive and there are close up pics of the trim tag, carb and seat belt tag but no pic of the engine pad stamping. Decent car but calling it a no excuses car is a bit of a stretch.

Thanks I like the stance also! If it was summer here in Chicago it would be one of my

drivers. Having fun is the name of the game. Now if the Bears won the bowl you would really hear from me. Thanks for the input! No worries Bill you are good people!

I've never met you Bob but I like the way you handle yourself. You seem to have something we all could use.....a thick skin and a lack of whining. You didn't quit and take your ball home but hung around for some constructive (at least so far)criticism.

Now, Go get us some more pledges!

We all love critiquing someone elses cars, don't we Charley. I myself looked over a Rally Green 69 Z/28 that was sold into Alberta from California a few years ago and found a few things with that one. Even more when I witnessed that "original" engine and "transmission" being torn down. But I guess I won't ignite that flame since that former seller did not load pictures of it here for me to hammer away at.

I wonder if I should look for the pictures of that car since I know I have them here? I guess if someone else coincidentally acquires those pictures and posts them here on SYC, I can flame away at that car regardless of who owned it and how they represented that car and it's sale right Charley?

Just curious about that one since no seller is perfect, and neither are many of these "no excuse" types of cars. Don't forget Charley, not every seller or builder has a thousand point benchmark car sitting in a stable of collector items like we do, and what many would consider a no excuse car to them (and thousands of others) might not be a no excuse car to either of us.

I guess it just pisses me off that each and every time i'm looking at something on this site, there's always someone flaming a seller, a car, an ad, or in this case, just a seller that used the words "No Excuse Car" in an ad. I guess that's what ignites a flame now days, is when someone describes and ad with a few verbs to help attract the buying public. Laughing my ass off at this one! Although not perfect, a nice car Bob. Good luck with the sale of it, and yes,it's nice to see you have thicker skin than some on here. You're OK with me.

Tom...

mister-copo...just what are you trying to say ? Are you referring to a Rally green Z I had a few years ago that I sold in primer ?

I have no idea what you own but I have no "no excuse" cars and I certainly have no 1000 point benchmark cars.
Why does Supersports Z28 have a electric fan in addition to the stock fan ? Cooling problem ? I would like to know the excuse. Oh wait...It's a no excuse car.

And his "no excuses" comment I was referring to was in this thread, not his ad so I don't see it as just auction ad fluff.
