I will have to apologize, apparently my typing of words did not come out as well as my mind was processing the info, no flames were intended, just cutting to the basics was the intent. I will stand by my statements as I believe the intent was there, and I think that others can see that as well.
IMHO, anyone that has owned over 20, 50, 100 or more cars of any make / model / etc should know them intimately. They should be an expert in their own right and know right from wrong. If I doubted a car, I would trust my instinct and I would stay away. There would be no reason IN MY MIND to want to buy it. Again, MY viewpoint. All the names you stated above are people that have educated themselves and created businesses around their education and experience. I could get info from Ford <span style="font-weight: bold">if</span> I owned one. Having the copy from Ford would be as good in MY OPINION as anything else. I could care less knowing if my Ford was one of 17 so equipped (or whatever). That being one of 17 so equipped does not make it worth any more. It does not make ME like it any more ... or any less. BUT if I were one of those that NEEDED to know that info to tell stories with, I might want to know and therefore would pay to know and have a piece of paper so I can display with my car so onlookers can marvel at my luck and good fortune. Those that know know. This is not intended to be a flame or sarcastic reply in any stretch, it is merely an explanation of my prior post.

I saw that car also..I wonder about the paperwork he claims to have...Apparently the original paperwork from the real Estes car was stolen from Al M. when he owned the car.
Back to the original thread..any luck with the protecto-plate ??? |

hello all
good grief, i am sorry to have posted on here about certain things, numbers and names and so on. i feel i have brought up something that should have been left buried down deep. the thing is, its like digging a new foundation for a new home, the next thing you know youve dug up something that someone else put there yrs ago and now you get blamed for it because YOU DUG IT UP??? im sorry to all, im sorry to "that guy" im sorry to anyone i offended and if i even did so. this car has always done this anywhere ive taken it. all i wanted was some help and ive dug up seriously hurt feelings in this registry. man i dont know what to do, i guess its my fault ???? i started it so maybe i should end it, i think im going to stay away from here for a while and let things cool off. if i was younger man i would jump right in, but now im alot older and im going to back off guys. this is to much for me. i had a hunch or gut feeling this would happen and i guess the finger is being pointed at me, if not well no harm no foul. i dont know what to do. im not going to post any more photos on here, no more numbers and no pop plate, that is if i get it back, we are still talking and the last time i talked to him we were joking and making fun of each other that we even joked about the point of meeting for dinner and talking it over. thats as far as i got. sometimes i wish i could start over with this car, yet ive wished that so many times with it because this always happens. each and everytime i bring this car up no matter how smooth it starts out, there is usually a fist fight over it or arguiing. it never fails, even after almost 20 yrs in storage. i guess i will bow out and let it be. i also got a call from my sister in kentucky about a guy wanting to "just come and see it" well i turned that down to, then i got yelled at from her over it because its her neighbor???? i cant trust anyone as to where the public storage is that i keep it and i dont even want to show anyone either. i took this thing to a show in my home town years and years ago, i ripped out 2nd place with it and didnt even expect to win anything at all, i didnt even armour all the tires, just drove it in??? guess what i won???? a big bottle of armour all ! ! ! ! then the 2 judges got into a fight over it, because one thought i deserved first placed because of the milage and the original conditon it was in. the one guy jacked the others guys jaw and it was bad enough for a 19 or 20 yr old kid[myself] to say to them "hey hey guys its nothing to fight about". to old guys duking it out over this thing called a car??? i got more to say but im bowing out as of now. thank you for all the nice things and info all on here have given me. i will take it with a grain of salt but, i feel ive drank the whole salt shaker. i guess its my fault [AGAIN]. thank you all redline, maxed out. that is all. |

Redline... what the hell are you talking about?? I hope you stick around... the story on your car has been an interesting one.
Glad you are talking to the guy with your POP. He sounds like he is a decent person... Give him some $$ and call it a day. He seems like he could use a few bucks so you can think of it as helping someone out and getting your POP! Now... enough of the Yenko County Housewives drama .... lets talk about cars!!!!
