JSB the OP is not upset with NCRS. He said just the opposite. Reason NCRS ever came up was the buyer who backed out was a master judge with NCRS!

Surely a Master Judge has been around these cars and other judges enough to at LEAST be able to discern a proper engine stamp....at least by osmosis!

I am not here to defend anyone but if I was going to spend six figures on a 50 year old car where the bulk of the value is placed on roughly one inch by four inch part of a cast iron block I would want some one else eyes on it. maybe we should focus on peoples parents not teaching ethics

Frankly though - I wouldn't have shelled out a grand for a certification if I didn't have a non-refundable deposit contingent on a clean bill of health...unless I wanted the certification anyway...

Now that the OP has it, it is still of benefit...
No regrets with spending the money to certify the car even though I never had a doubt that is was the real deal. I have met a lot of very nice people and learned a lesson on how to deal with the Big Talking Tire Kickers!

Thanks

I would be willing to bet that this dirt bag was not a "master judge" or even a NCRS member. Just a typical B.S. artist. There are a few on this forum as well.

Yup, and that was done, yet the Master Judge saw fit to leave the seller holding the bag for the cost of those requested set of eyes. Poor ethics indeed.

I once advertised a very nice Corvette on Craigslist and usedcorvettesforsale.com. A man from South Fla called and asked some questions. I sent him more info and pictures. We agreed on a price $1,000 lower than my advertised price. Over the next few days, I sent him a copy of the title, a bill of sale, and a couple of other items. He e-mailed that he had completed the things needed at the bank and was bringing cash to buy the car. I arranged for a Uhaul trailer locally and an appointment with my bank to notarize and complete the sale. He was to be here Monday morning after driving part way Sunday. I waited at home to meet him to pick up the trailer and go to the bank. I cancelled to ads. Around 10am Monday, I got an e-mail that said " Something personal came up and I won't be buying your car after all. Sorry for the inconvenience" I tried a couple of times to reach him to see if it was anything that might work out, but never heard again. Since that, I will require a non-refundable deposit to make all the arrangements for a non-local sale.

You sold your car to an appreciative, new, US owner instead of a flaky jerk.
Guess what - YOU WIN !
