    Jesus Craig. He only got on this board 2 days ago. Give him a break. If hes interested in the round up he will ask.

    You are looking for a fixer-upper and or a finished car. Lots to choose from but where is your pocket book on pricing.V8 or 6, AC or not,put out some specifics about what you want.:)

    V6 or 8, no preference. AC would be nice but not a deal breaker. Auto trans a must. Would like a 2 door but open to a 4 door. Pocket book is deep! I liked the 1970 to 1973 models the best. I guess I'm pretty easy to please! The 1972 2 door was my first new car, V6, auto trans, no air, am radio, sticker price $2618.00. Put $618.00 down and had a payment of $63.01 for 36 months!

    And he DID ask, Ron.

    Follow your own advice, Ron, that you posted 25 minutes later:
    This reinforces my attitude about staying off this board,or at least not posting very often. What ever happenned to " if you can't say something nice about a person or his toys, don't say anything.

    Seriously?? 25 minutes later.

    Well Mr Selvy.
    Rob 1972 did not ask until about2days after his first post.25 hrs after you posted about the round-up that had several cars for sale that didn't sell.

    secondly I didnt imply any name calling about you, only stated to leave the man alone.
    The 25 min time between posts on my part was due to the fact that I was on the phone and just searching the differnt sites.Again some people were very critical of other persons posts who maybe thought about joining but may have been steered away because of the attack on their posts or their person.

    By your posts it appears you think you do no harm. Have a nice evening

    Craig. I would like a answer to this question. You are here on this web site. Owned by Stephan in Quebec. You ADVERTISE your web site on this site and sell parts or whole cars to those that are looking for these items.you are operating a business on someone elses web. Do you pay to advertise your business. others who sell their parts are only selling privately, not as a business. have always wondered about this.

    The original poster comes here asking for advice on how to find and/or buy a car, and I offer some advice on how (and where) to find a car. NO WAY am I doing harm......NO WAY. I am suppose to "leave the man alone"? Seriously? YOU just didn't like the advice, so you choose to attack me as you have done many, many times in the past. Who determines if something is an attack? The person doing the attack, or the person being attacked? I would say the person being attacked can be the only fair person to determine that.

    Please note that I don't go back and re-edit my posts. I find "attackers" tend to go back and do.

    Would have been better to ask this personal question in a PM, but I will answer it here, since you keep bringing it up in your quick, but brief visits to this website (message board). Yes...I am on this website (message board) owned by Stefan in Quebec. I mention my PERSONAL website in my signature, just as hundreds, if not thousands, also do on this website (message board). One will find that the mention of my personal website is in an average size font, and not a graphic "ad" of any kind Yes, I sell parts and complete cars. I very, very seldom, if ever, post a classified ad for those items. I am NOT operating a business. What I do is strictly a hobby. I am a SUPPORTING MEMBER of this website (message board)...are you? I am not paying to advertise my website, because I am not advertising my website. What one does see in a "graphic" in my signature is my email address. I do that, as well as others who do that, in order to keep spam crawlers and spiders from detecting our email address and adding our email address to their mailing database.

    I do see others on here that ARE advertising their business in a graphic ad in their signature at the bottom of their posts. I suggest you ask them about this practice, since they are the ones actually doing what you are asking about.
