Too Cool For School
Is the last name of the brothers "Rebich"?
Am I missing something here?? Why spend $3500.00 and a car to get a race car that you have no interest in racing?? Why not just spend the $3500.00 on the Duster and make a nice driver out of it??
IMO, this hobby requires patience, and lots of it. Anybody thats into it to make money is in the wrong hobby, especially in this economy. I wouldn't have the cars and stuff that I do if I wasn't a very patient man, waiting for the right deal, never just buying something at face value, and scouring every inch and cranny of swap mets and junkyards for years to find stuff instead of just opening the catalog and whipping out the credit card!! The only way to get what you want in this hobby is to do it yourself, take your time, roll up your sleeves and stay in it for the long haul!!
I wouldn't deal with the brother of the previous owner, who to me sounds like a jerk to deal with. If he has the cash to buy the car, then sell it to him outright, but I wouldn't take a car back that I didn't want in the first place, especially with a "quickie" job on it. Get the cash and get out of the race car business unless you plan on racing, nobody ever made any money buying and selling race cars!! Just my .02, Geof
I agree with Geof on this. But if this keeps up you will need to get a lawyer. Bad things will happen. :evil3:Am I missing something here??

So are you!!!!!
You have been on and off on this race car every since you got it. In my opinion you got a fair deal at best but nothing great. I would have kept the $3500 in my pocket. Big blocks are going away because of what you can make a small block in to. Big blocks are heavy compared to small blocks and that hurts you on the track. A 64 big block is very low on the totem pole as far as any one wanting it. It is time for you to get some cheese to go with your whine. Get up and make it happen!
Hey who says all us old farts have a big shop or all the tools needed? I get what tools I need when I can afford it and I have a one car garage. I am not retired but on disability. If you really have a passion for this hobby you can learn and do this. Like anything else this in this hobby it takes time and I know of one member said he has been working on his car 14 years.
I traded straight across with no money exchanged for my Lucille and it was well worth it.
Your closer to retarded than you are retired! Roflmao
The extra cubic inches far outweigh the difference in weight. I disagree with your big block comment.Go tell them that at big block dart,I can already hear the laughter. I would like to have this car but its too far away from me.At what he paid its a great deal.Biggest problem here is everybody feels like he played us for suckers starting at 14k for the car. with the drastic price cuts it looks like a buyer beware deal. i said looks like not is.
Eww! You gonna let him talk to you like that Eri?!
I could get lucky! There's a first time for everything you know!
Not my fault the doctor lied. LOL
The doctor also said nothing would come of the "tango" for us lol
That saying should now be rephrased to say "there is no replacement for displacement, unless it's turboed".......and you want to deal with the complexity of a turbo build. For a guy that just wants to go bracket racing or have a street toy nothing is easier than cubes.....Big blocks have Thier place, but I have to say the extra cubes are an old way of thinking. They saying goes "there's no replacement for displacement." that was true 20 years ago, but the turbo has become the great equilizer. That saying should now be rephrased to say "there is no replacement for displacement, unless it's turboed"
