slappyracing (#29344) What do you think?
 

slappyracing traded a friend of mine his 2004 Danny Nelson for my friends 27 Roadster. Slappyracing told him it was a 511 BBC and that since his roadster had a 468 BBC he needed $3000.00 boot. I told my friend I thought it was a pretty good trade straight across since his roadster was just one year old and had a $8000.00 paint job. They ended up trading with my friend giving $1500.00 boot. When slappyracing pictured the dragster it had 4.82 et on the dial in board. I told my friend I was skeptical that it would run that fast. When he got the dragster home, he pulled the engine to check bearing and such. Finding that the engine wasn't a 511, but a .070 over 469, with a GM crank. My friend kinda wrote it off as a learning experience from a bullsh#t artist. But today I looked at slappyracing new ads, well as you would know it the roadster is forsale. The roadster fastest et a 5.90. Quess whats on the the dial-in board a 5.28. Is it just me or is this misrepresentation? #1546627

These people feed off the power of Bull $hit. Buy a race car from the track bottom line. Seller makes 2 or 3 passes and the car sells itself. We all know buying a used car or motor it's just that USED.

It may come apart next pass but if all the gauges check good and the car runs it's a deal. Nothing less should do or think of it as buying a car as a roller no matter if the motor comes with it or not.

Think I will post ans see if he claims it will back it up and will he meet at the track.

Man that sucks parker. I almost did a deal with him a little over a year ago. Sounds like it was a good thing I didn't.

I sent the guy a message asking him the specs on the engine tranny and chassis and also what it runs on average, lets see if he replies...

wow to be honest ive never seen the person your talkin about just write somethin off hell i aint never seen the man calm haha :lol:

i cant believe that
all i can say is i hope he dont get his hands on that old boy lol jk

I have to agree with you two on that one. I think if he lets it get to him he'll end up driving to slappys house and given him a go old fashion ass whopping. I don't think slappy realizes who he's dealing with. He's definately not the calmest friend I have, but probably the best friend that I have. There still could be some fireworks over this one.

I did the same thing ''harbone'' no answer yet :!: :!:



''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

well with him it aint dunna be no bottle rocket you'll see these fire works two states over

My friend got the car he was looking for. He was just hoping that what the seller told him on the engine was accurate. And yes I know a used engine is a used engine, but the problem isn't that the engine blew up, its that he lied on the size and the parts in the engine. I'm glad you check every part out before you buy. But for me I have made deals where I didn't get to check out every part out before I received it, and had to take the seller word on some of the parts. Thats why I'm glad we have this feedback section to notify others when someone isn't an honest seller. This guy John Taylor should at least pay back the $1500.00 boot he got for having the bigger engine. As yes, I think this will cost him more than $1500.00 in the long run, since he is a wheeler/dealer. I sure he'll be selling something else down the line.

Well...it was a bigger engine....his car had a 468 and he ended up with a 469!! What a deal! :lol:

Good looking roadster too bad he put scumbag centerliars wheels on it.

Easy now I traded him those wheels. There was no way I was going to clean them with all the grooves. They always look good on someone elses car. Bogart for me.....

Dparker,

I do look at all the parts I buy. I work to hard for my money. I was not saying your friend did wrong it just allowed this low life to get over on someone yet again. This was not the first time he has done this I am sure

The guy who sold your friend the car should have to come up with what he said he was selling and not less. You should neve have to settle for less then what you agreed to buy.

This seller should have his hands cut off just far enough up that he can not wipe his own butt.

The wheels aren't bad it's the company that makes them I have issues with....
scumbags

I got some old Centeline stickers if you want me to send them to you. They'll go good with that pretty blue paint.lol. :lol:
