I agree - I like the pointed nose a bit better but that is my taste.

Car is still available - have some people interested but no deposits yet

Great video. I wish everyone would do that. Our car search is on hold for a bit. If this is still around when we resume, I'll be contacting ya. So, in a sense, I wish you good luck... but in another sense... I hope you don't sell it!

will definitely keep you posted!

I have plans to do a full detail in the coming weeks (interior, clay, polish, glaze, seal, remove wheels and give them the same treatment..). Will post more pics when I finish that.

Quick in-car drive video - was more a test of my HTC EVO4G than a marketing vid, but figured I'd pop it up there..

Going through a full FLEX/Wolfgang Detail right now - paint looks great just after the first polishing stage!

So someone actually flew in to try to buy this car yesterday. Prior to that person (and spouse) coming I was very clear: I am FIRM at $18K. I had to call them a cab to take them back to the airport after an offer of $17K. Don't let this happen to you - I mean what I say and I'd rather keep the car than have someone come and tell me it's not worth what they are even offering. They must have spent more on the wasted travel than the difference in price..

I flew to New Jersey from Minnesota With hopes of driving my dream car home. after spending $900 to get to the car, I realized I had been mislead. The car looked and drove excellent, but the New Jersey winters were a bit hard on the underside.
This car would be a fun car for someone to buy and drive. I was looking for something to buy and store or show.
If you have one of that is worthy of showing please contact me.

Misled? Really? At what point did I communicate to you or anyone else that this car was a "store and show" Barret-Jackson undercam shiny car? Never. The car has 27K miles on it and I even remember our phone call where I told you the car is not perfect.

I will jack it up this week and take pics of the underside. It is not rusty, nor corroded, but it is not pristine and polished either. Looks like the underside of a car that has been driven during it's 14 years in existence.

I'm sorry your trip didn't work out, but I would rather you have told me

"this is not what I was expecting, sorry, I'm going home now"

than:

"I have a check for $17K and it's not worth that, but I will do the deal because I spent blah blah blah to get here."

Tell you what, I've seen a nice 97 LT4 out there that has never been titled - it's also $34-35 grand. That is a store/show/perfect car.

Also, your post was uncalled for. I never identified who came to look at it, I only put this up so people would understand I am firm on $18K (this is what the car is worth to me) and would rather keep the car than go lower. I never called you out, yet you saw fit to slam me and my car. Not cool, and I was expecting more after having met you and the mrs.

lol, best storry I've heard this week. I would personally have asked you if you were flexible before I flew out here with less than the asking price in my hand ...

If thats the case why did you come with a check for less money?
