Default Re: LS-6 on Ebay

I can say Rick has saved me a bundle from getting scammed and never charged me a dime for checking things out on the LS6 cars I have. Brokers claim alot kind of like BJ auction and come to fin out they are full of well you know the rest.

I just read the threads and I didn't get the impression that you authenticated or endorsed the car anywhere.

He didnt, and I dont believe I implied he did. Does Rick Nelson think he is the only one with information on cars?! Am I missing something? The car is what it is and described as such.

Personally I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and considering this LS6 as possibly an undocumented but genuine car...but seeing you now including this kind of statement, especially when Rick has tried to help you SUCKS and could make the true enthusiast, helpful guy he is perhaps reconsider what he's been offering anyone for free?.


So thanks a lot SS...merchandise your cars whatever way you want but I wouldn't be surprised if the true result is biting the rest of us here in the butt when we need and seek his help in the future?!.

Bob, I am far from it and there are MANY more people on this web site who know a lot more about these cars then I ever will and I certainly hope that I never come across like I think I do. This is one of the reasons I seldom respond to LS-6 posts anymore. Just because I comment on a car or some parts certainly does not mean I know it all or that I am correct (like 064 vs 772 fans). Many times Chris White straightens me out and on some days I argue with him. I was also not trying to throw a stick at you, only trying to clear the air based on e-mails sent to me.

I only started this registry as I was voluntered for it and since I was already doing it for the purpose of bettering my restorations I accepted. However, my name is used all the time as "he authenticated the car" and before this happened again with this car I wanted to clear the air as people were already stating that off line.

In answer to Charley's comment, it was due to the dozens of e-mails I received from people here and over at Team Chevelle wondering what information I had that I was able to confirm it being the earliest Lakewood car. This based soley on the other thread started here where I commented that I sent him an e-mail and he responded that the car was on it's way. I responded to Bob's requests to me offline in an effort to not start just this very thing and it did anyway. I was in no way saying that Bob was in fact using my name to authenticate the car but that was what several people who sent me e-mails thought I did.

To be honest, I have not even taken a very close look at this Gold car other then to look at some of the underhood errors. I have several cars to restore that pay the bills but help people every day on their cars in an effort to make their restorations better. I don't get paid for that help and do it because I enjoy it. I just didn't want my name pulled into something that I had nothing to do with as this car somehow did. Exactly what I tried to avoid in the beginning. Nuff said, the car is what it is and hopefully goes to a good home.
Rick

i think it would be best for everyone to just take a deep breath.......

lets not lump all brokers/ dealers together as being bad guys.....

many times in the aquisition, sale, trading of cars information might be supplied and relied on by others as true, when it might not be.

i have had personal dealings with rick and found him to be very helpful, knowledgeable and willing to assist site members in any way he can

i have never purchased any cars from supersport, but feel that he should not be judged as being less than forthcomming when all of the facts may not be known.

better communication usually helps avoid misunderstanding.

I think some of you people have a better time calling peoples cars questionable more then anything. You sit back and question every little detail, and if someone is not in your "click" then you doubt them.

We would not be having this discussion if the car had documentation. If its not availiable then its a real nice clone.

It's best not to generalize...if it can be at all avoided...
