Yes Howard, I did like it A LOT, and I bid accordingly, but unfortunately, it was not enough. Sorry if you had a problem with me bidding on the car. I must say that I am surprised at your comments, but it is still a free country.

Wish you a good day.

Rex

No, I do not do business that way. I bid what I was willing to pay and it was not enough. I bought Stan's #2 car last year and I know and appreciate the quality of his work. Thanks for your inquiry.

I will answer that.
No he did not.

Rex only found out about the auction when he ran across it him self.
I did not advertise that my car was for sale. He asked about a price, and I told him roughly what I wanted( not the reserve). Then I advised him that if he was interested in the car, he should bid on it as I WOULD NOT end the auction before I saw what interest was out there.

So he did just that. His bid was not enough to buy my car, and that is where it ends.

One thing about me is that even though I have many aquaintances such as Rex, I dont mix business with that. There was no deal to be had on my car, and even though he is the owner of my last car, the only leverage he would have on the sale of my car would be a trade that involved my old car. Nothing more,nothing less.

Business is business.

Let me add this :

I consider all you guys my forum friends,so I will ask that no arguments get started here on this thread.

The only reason this thread even exists is because someone not familar with my car or me mentioned that they liked the car. (pretty cool I thought)

Lets all keep it in that perspective and end it at that.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

And Rex, I would still consider a trade . I can trust you on the other car. I know who built it!!!!
