I recently asked 2 questions and for pictures on a car for sale thread for a friend interested in the car. My friend asked me if I thought the car was a real 340 car as claimed having original 391's. After the seller answered my questions on the open forum and provided pictures for all to see. The proof was evident the car was a rebodied restoration.

My posts were then taken down to hide the facts of the car not being the real deal 340 car. His own answer and pictures prove the hidden truth. But a site moderator helped him deceive other potential buyers on this site.

Instead of my posts being removed I would think his deceiving sale thread should be taken down or corrected. When did we decide to help members sell their clones when they clearly are. Remember this. All 340 cars came with drip rail chrome so when there is a painted filler piece still on the drip rail seam it usually didn't have the chrome from new.

Plus all 340 cars came with a factory right side exhaust hanger. Sure the hanger can be added but when the phillips screw that holds it in place was never there then it was usually added. This car never had the hanger at all and still didn't have one by the sellers own admission. And still the seller is allowed to sell his car as a original 391 car on this site. If we are going to enforce rules that should be one of the most important to enforce. No Fakes sold on this site unless stated as one.

Members pointing out discrepancies on this site is why people come here for advise due to the knowledge and honesty. When did that change to allow deceit. I believe that sale thread should be corrected or taken down not hide the truth for the seller just because it was built by a magazine years ago. Beware of fakes they are out there.

Agree, some of the "mods" are becoming overbearing when it comes to legit questions about "For Sale" items. The statement is, "take it to PM" some of the time. I've queried a few members about things via "PM" and then nothing but crickets. I also agree that some of the times the comments are unnecessary and maybe these comments should be deleted "with" an explanation to the poster(s) as to why. Blindly deleting things tends to piss people off and turn them away from this site. There are indeed bogus stuff that shows up here and members are quick to point it out.

Like I've stated before, I always liked reading the conversations on For Sale threads. You can sometimes learn a lot from the discussions.
