Maybe they should have had me do a pre purchase inspection.

I am sure they knew what they bought. They took what they wanted (original bolt on wheels) now it’s cleaned up ready for a buyer who has no clue.

No but it’s sad that the car had those wheels for 50 years and as soon as a dealer/flipper gets ahold of the car it’s the first thing to disapear. I don’t fault them for raising the price though.

"mostly no hit".
Is that like being "a little bit pregnant"?

They complain heavily about the seller that they bought the car from. Yet feel that the car is worth $7500 more even without the wheels. How much should they expect to make on the car $15K? Well if the wheels are originals and in decent shape the net profit would exceed that. So not sure why they are complaining about the previous seller.

VA saw an opportunity and seized it. Good for them. I bet if someone now wants to take on a project and buy that car, they will find VA quite amenable to a deal. VA might come away from the whole experience with a set of real BO KH wheels for a pittance. That is how capitalism is supposed to work.

I know, I have to think the rant against the ebay seller is a marketing ploy. VA knows what they are doing, they've been at it long enough.
My avatar? I switched back to the 65 that I have run for years. I flipped over to the 64 coupe a month ago just for fun. Just trying to mix it up to keep you regulars on your toes. Good to see it's working.
hey Pancho, where's your avatar, anyway?
Come on, show us something....

The frame is one of the worst I have ever seen. The one shot appears to show the side rail split/exploded/expanded due to the build up of something. Can you imagine how the birdcage must be. Maybe this car went under water in the Texas floods...think about the rust patterns on things. Dennis

Doubt it was from one of the recent floods, that metal has been corroding for a long time.

I also say it smacks of being disingenuous that VA would act like an outraged party for buying a car with a rusty frame. Their reputation is well known and they are- generously speaking- "big boys." They know the game well.
If anyone at Valley is truly surprised by a purchase I'd be shocked.
