Kinda long but worth the watch. Lots of good stuff. 18-splines, Danas, etc...Not sure what his prices look like. Im too broke to call and tempt myself right now.
From the video he has some great things, and things to use your term tainted and barely worth buying. You buy from those people by bundling several of the lesser items with what you really want. That way he is trying to figure if he is getting what he wants for the good piece and you have other items to lower the cost of what you want.I have been to this guys house.. He's legit however hard to deal with. His **** is the best and yours is tainted and barely worth him buying... Ya know that kinda guy.
Been there done that. A number of years ago I drove to south Georgia in the middle of nowhere to pick up what looked like (in the pictures) a great 71 RR body. I pulled up trailer and all and talked with him for a few minutes. He pointed the car out below the hill. I'm walking down the hill looking and thinking this is a great find. I get to it and it is looking great until I go around to the other side. It was completely wiped out down the driver's side. This guy never indicated damage in the pictures or in talking to him. I have driven over 400 miles with a trailer, so I go up the hill to my truck, get in and leave with him standing there. I didn't say anything to him at all. I don't know what he was thinking and really don't care. At the point of seeing the car all around there was no need for further conversation as we were way to far apart on value.What I mean by that is I had a nice set of original 69 HP exhaust manifolds He tried to tell me they aren't worth 350 dollars.. He has a pile of them and I'm sure he can pick them up for 200.00 but mine were really nice and in perfect shape. Anyhow I forget what all I sold to him but I ended up getting really close to my price. This is the guy I drove up to look at that 67 Belvedere.. With steel wheels and dog dish caps.. Well in the picture he sent yup they were on it on one side. The floor pan was completely gone. I made hi an offer on the car... He pondered on it for a few then went over and started taking the clutch peddle assembly out.. I'm like what's up with that? He says for your price I'll keep these. I was like naa don't waste your time. I'm not buying it.
