Curious, how many times would this work in real life ? Have you tried to buy a car, paid the pipers price and still not owned it?
Let's here your stories. Apparently, I have time to waste.

I think I know what car and member you are talking about. Just add the member to your ignore list and move on with your life like I did.

Not thinking of that car at all, although another mem seems to have gone thru the same as others in an attempt to but the car that has "always been for sale".

I was thinking of a hemi cuda from years ago that was for sale, I tried to buy it, seller decided not to sell (I respect that) and when it came back up, I didn't have the $$, lol. If only I had used my kids school tuition money,,,,,,,

Ok, now you reminded me of a story....


Back in the 80's we bought a 426 Hemi from a guy called Tom. He was a big Hemi fan and had 4 "loose" Hemis and two original Hemi cars. His brother and his "cruiser" was a 69 440 Charger R/T. He had an original 70 Hemi Challenger 4 speed car with 13 k on it, and a 70 Coronet with 9 k on it.

We bought one of the loose Hemis for a future project...


Meanwhile, I find a set of Max Wedge heads that I was trying to convince dad to get for the Superbird, but he wouldn't have any of it. Luckily my friend Jim wanted them for his 70 Roadrunner, but didn't have the money, so I paid for them and he was going to pay me back...

Well after a while, Jim goes to Car Craft Nationals and meets with Gary Dyer from Dyer's Blowers and decides that he wants to go with a blower. However they don't make a blower for the Max Wedge heads, so he no longer needed them.

So we go to a local car show sponsored by Mopar Muscle and see Tom there with his 70 Hemi Challenger with 13,000 original miles and he says that he's going to sell it and is taking offers...

Meanwhile Jim is going around trying to sell the Max Wedge heads. I tell him, "they are mine, and not for sale." I had paid for them, and he didn't even make one payment to me, so they are mine.

He wants to sell them and "split the profit"...

I say, "How can you 'split the profit', when you didn't lay down any capitol for them? I paid for them, now they are mine. If anyone gets the profit, it's the guy who laid out the capitol."

So now Tom wants the Max heads, and we want his Challenger, we have a good bargaining chip.

My brother and I look the Challenger over from top to bottom while dad keeps him distracted talking to him. The car was immaculate....

A few guys had given him an offer by then. So I tell dad to take the highest offer, subtract $500 and offer that to him with the Max heads...

Tom refused to tell dad what his best offer was. (He wanted someone to offer way more than it was worth.) So dad said, F*ck him, I'm not going to play games, and didn't even give him an offer...

It turns out that he did not really want to sell the car, just wanted the "attention" and see what he could get...

So I kept my Max heads....

The only way that I would let them go was to get a Hemi Challenger for them, and I still have my heads today....

I wonder if Tom still has his Hemi cars....
 
There's nothing like being screwed by your brother.
Back in 1991, i decided to move to Alberta from B.C. for work and a new life as well as a career change.
I ''sold'' my '69 Super Bee to him for $2500, it was more of a loan until i got on my feet, and i would pay him back within a year so the deal goes, or the car is his, plus a $500 premium....... Handshake and everything.
The car was worth at least 5 to 6 grand at the time, this was like a pawn shop loan to me. I worked hard, did overtime, lived in my friend's basement, i scrimped and saved to pay him back.
8 months later, i called him to say i had the money to pay him back.
Unbeknownst to me, he said he had the car advertised on the auto trader for 8 grand and he had a guy interested in it for the full price.
He sold it for the full price to the guy he was dealing with. We argued on the phone about the deal we had, and i was willing to pay him back in full, i just wanted my Super Bee back. That was the deal.
Fast forward a couple of days, he showed up at my door on the way to deliver the car to a town 30 miles from where i now live, and have lived since i moved away, to go with him to help unload the car and receive the cash.
He ensured me that we would split the profits and we would both be better off in the long run.
I helped him unload it, watched as the guy dealt out 8 grand in cash for my car, and there was nothing i could do about it. The papers were in my brother's name.
I never got a cent from him, he said he would owe me and catch me later because he had bills to pay. I still haven't got anything from him to this day.
Funny thing though, the buyer contacted me about 5 years ago to see if i wanted to buy the car back. He offered it to me for a low price of $20,000!
He had done little to the car other than disassemble it!
I said ''no thanks'' politely. He still has it as far as i know, last year someone asked me about it saying it was for sale and the guy used me as a reference as a past owner.
He's portraying it as being an original 440 4 speed 3:54 Dana car when actually it's a 383 4 speed 3:23 sure grip car with the Ramcharger hood. Q5 turquoise with a black bench seat interior. I put the '71 big rod H.P. 440 in it with the 3:54 Dana 60 out of a rolled '68 GTX.
LOL, it still has the matching numbers 4 speed in it (23 spline) and i still have the fender tag!
My brother and i are still estranged to this day for other reasons, the car deal was the tip of the Iceberg. He tried to screw me and my other brother over on our property where my cars and parts are in B.C., and we went to court and paid him out and he was booted.
As a swan song, he stole at least $30,000 in parts from us and sold them, not to mention court costs etc.
He now lives like a homeless man from what i've heard. He doesn't do drugs or drink at all or even smoke.
He screwed everyone around him until it came to this.
On August 11th, he will be 60.
Happy birthday, Rick.
WTF?
