Default Looked at a '78 AE

A friend asked me to check out this Corvette at Damascus Auto Sales, MD.
I never seen a place run as they do - a bunch of newly painted cars and a few trucks, most have low milage, but no documentation. Too much wear for any 2100 mile car. Won't let me take any of my own pictures, too busy to find an available lift. Owner obviously does not trust his one and only Salesman as he keeps butting in. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Looking for a late C3 must be an automatic L-82 with AC, good paint, average to low Miles, great interior and runs well. In the mid teens.
It's a graduation present for a kid who studied hard for great SAT's

isnt this the same place that has the junkyard show on TV and the guy brags in every episode how much money he makes on each sale?? They probably pulled it out of the scrap heap and spent 15 minutes giving it a wax job and now its a $16,000 corvette...

I'm not familiar with Junkyard empire - it makes sence though. Any car I asked about had reconstructed titles and an friend nearby said their cars sit for years, that hardly seems possible.
I stopped watching the Velocity channel except for some show on the internet called GraveYard Carz and even then that Mark Turns my stomach. My favorite was Wheeler Dealer but I don't think they tape any new shows.

Another con job operation. These places only exist on the naïve and stupid types, who have money to lose. I know I am a broken record on this, but it bugs me. And the only thing worse are these TV types who clearly are nothing but Hollywood sideshows with no real substance. Another example of modern ignorance....and they are laughing their way to the bank. I wish we could be smarter in this country, and ALL these "reality sideshows" would go away when NOBODY watched them.
