I was not kidding. First person who sends me twenty grand owns my car. Delivery to the lower 48 states included.

I still don't see how this thread is any different then us discussing the high price of a car listed on ebay which we have done many times.

I agree Ed, a stated anyone has the right to ask whatever price they choose, if it sells great if not, maybe they need to be more realistic.

I am with you on this, I see nothing wrong with an honets discussion on this topic.

I do know of another individual who was trying to sell, a 1952 Chrysler Saratoga 4 door, complete with Hemi, nice Texas, original umolested car, he could not get $3500, and I think it was worth more.

If someone buys a car for X amount, and is happy great, but as mentioned, this asking price is a bit steep, IMHO.......

I think there is a huge difference between discussion and outright slams or cuts. That includes cars and parts sold on Ebay as well as here. I also wonder who the hell are we to even suggest a price for a item when not asked too.

Back in the day it was called rude, now it's call normal I guess.

If this guy entertained any thoughts of maybe keeping the car for himself, I doubt after reading this thread he would come here for help. And I suspect others reading this post will shy away also. All because someone has to puff out his chest and tell the world what he knows the car is worth. In fact reading this post reminds me to only look for repair help, and not opinions on here.

If he can't get his price, he may lower it. I saw no request in help for setting his asking price. Items in this world are worth different amounts to different people. For instance to me a original hemi would get my attention, but that's just me.

People don't discuss the price of items for sale on here, don't fool yourself, (or try to fool me). They slam the person, calling him a *** or of smoking crack for example. You can bet your *** I would never post anything of great value to me for sale on this forum. I have even taken items off the forum because of the negative, unthoughtful comments by so called people in the know, (only in their minds). (And Don, if you really want to sell your car, I suggest you post every pic you ever took of your work, so we all can build our cars just like yours.)

Now after all this rant you may ask what got this guy all upset over this issue. I really don't know. But what I do know you all have just chastised a guy you have never met in your life before, because he wants to part with something that was his decessed father's, probably reluctantly so to boot.

Such a bunch of classy people, all of ya.

I agree about the huge difference between discussing a price and slamming the owner. I'm sure if the actual owner posted here he would be welcomed and given good advice. Just try to find an exampe to the contrary. I too would love an original hemi car. I still miss the one I had even though I never even got to drive it around the block.

Sorry we got you so riled.

To be fair, I think Don has already posted every photo of his excellent work, and I for one am grateful that he has done so.

jd52 the op stated he had seen the car on his way to work. if the op wants to drop ten Gs on a four door thats not road worthy then i guess he is smoking crack and is the as$ for the seat. im not puffing out my chest this price is up for discussion among men and if you think im rude then get over it. that car is not worth ten grand any day of the week and for the money the op could do much better. sorry for the truth if you want to be proper or classy keep drinking your cool aid

[jd52cranbrook]

No where did the op say he was going buy it as far as I can see. In fact he stated he thought the price was high too. So I guess your quotes on *** and smoking crack must be based on misinformation?

That car may or may not be worth 10 grand, certainly not to you. To someone it might, or maybe not. Regardless, I guess in your eyes if someone pays more than you think something is worth he must be on dope or a ***. Very sound reasoning.

Men don't put gutless cuts on the board to belittle someone they have no real knowledge of, or what their reasoning may be.

Men know what the words respect, character, honor mean.

Men discuss, not cut, ridicule.

As for the get over it and cool aid, I may take you up on that.

This past February I realized 20 years sober. I don't really like cool aid, but hey, you don't know me do you, so the cool aid jab is just another uneducated instruction by someone who has no clue as to who they are talking to. So if you have some more Internet tough guy words for me to get over, remember anyone can be tough on the web. It's meaningless. People who do that carry no weight.

Lastly, and may be more important than anything else; This is not the HAMB. Mostly this is a civil (meaning no personal insults, FYI) board with people helping each other out in positive ways. Maybe that other site would suit you better, but hey, I don't know you either do I.

Here you go
