When I came to the Burger King manager was directing traffic around the mess. Yes PaulWannafly is nothing short of an artist - I am so glad to see some of the legendary forum cars get a new lease on life like TripleBlack's car and Jackfit's car.... And yes, even my lowly base motor split window. |

Frank, that saddle/saddle 63 SWC I looked at 2 years ago....the one with the crate base engine repainted blue with black interior that the guy bought out of 40 years of storage and got running/driving again....he sold it a few months ago for 92k. It was a good driving and running car, but had been hit on all 4 corners and repaired and repainted in the 60's or early 70's to 'industry standards'. If you recall, I tried to buy it at about 55k at the time and he was on the fence, as was I due to the previous damage, but he was wise to wait a couple of years!

I do remember that car Jeff - and he did well because straightenng out the "industry standard" repairs of bygone decades would be some bucks... There is a video somewhere of GM back in the day showing how easy fiberglass repairs are on Corvettes and the results from those techniques would not be acceptable by today's standards.
BTW - some poor guy on the CF had his '67 hit in the rear end by a kid running a stop sign and he is getting some really bad advice and making comments that will hurt his case if they come to light in litigation. I could straighten him out but its just too bad I guess. Those moderators could care less if members get steered in the wrong directon rather than let somebody that hurt their egos remain active. |

I've been following that thread, Frank, and was thinking about your accident. If you had taken the advice some are offering and knocked the kid's teeth out, your situation would have escalated into a much worse situation for you.
Kind of like the machos over there who brandish their firearms online saying they would shoot someone if they messed with their car. Intelligent thinking isn't always on display over on that forum. Take care, Steve |

I read the thread and the car was back-halved, IIRC, during a 2006 frame off restoration. It had been hit hard in the rear previously. So no real 'diminished value' on a no-hit car. It'll get fixed. With the banning of key players over there and the resulting disgust of those who no longer participate, they're on their own. I ALMOST caved in and posted on there today on Plotkin thread (I like Dan a lot) but I resisted. He knows what time it is, but some other folks not so much. They'll figure it out or they won't.

There have been a few posts, fairly late in the thread, suggesting the OP pursue a DV claim. A number of posts in that thread veered off into the weeds, and the thread has since been locked by admin.
Frank's experience with the crash of his SWC illuminates the importance of Agreed Value insurance, and DV claims. Live well, SJW |

I'm surprised that thread got closed, since most of the trouble makers have been executed without a blind fold... The Gestapo tactics started when the PR&C (Politics, Religion & Controversy) forum changed to just P&R. Can't say what the impetus was, legal, CF adminstration change or whatever. That's when the hammer came down and you had moderators like that ChemDawg suddenly show up and if anything a bit conservative made it into a thread the warnings and closures began. I think my death knell was when I said something in an Off Topic thread moderated by ChemDawg like, "...sometimes the moderators here are immoderate" He complained to SAVEWAVE (head honcho) and that was it.
The next morning a lifetime ban. I was offered a chance to get reinstated but the amount ass kissing that I was told was a requirement was more than I could stomach. |

I think the 'C' from PR&C was removed about the same time white people were removed from commercials. It's part of the Big Re-Set Agenda.
Screw anything or anybody who is 'woke'. Useless parasites, the lot of them. |
