get real, if i had a friend that was a specialist in vettes dont you think i would have used his knowledge and never bought the car? You fast to point out my faults but no once questions Ray!!! Sounds like your quick to judge and just protect the good ole boy from NC. Again, thanks Mopar1968 for talking to me and actually the first to keep a neutral position about this.
I will send pics tonight to him so he can see what is up with the car.
Honestly you cant complain when you went in person to pick-up the car. That your wife was sick, is unfortunate, that you chose not to look at the car is unfortunate as well. But,
You had the CHOICE to not make the deal and you did- that anything is wrong is no longer the seller's fault. If you took him to court you would win nothing because you inspected the car, or chose not to.
The seller has no obligation to you nor does he have any obligation to anyone you choose to sell the car to.
His involvement ended when you came in person, inspected the car and agreed to make a trade. If I were him I wouldnt be talking to your buyers either - I doubt he gave you a "lifetime'warranty" on the car. Why does he need to speak to your buyers on a car that he sold and no longer owned and that you inspected? representation of that car is on you as the owner-not the previous owner.
BTW- on a mid-year vette difference in the front between 64 and 65 are the side panels (65 and 66 are same), hood one year only with script on hood and no scallops (63 and 64 are same except for chrome inserts) and the grill which is one year only.
Should you elect to change the incorrect stuff- use sermersheims for the correct coded press-molded fiberglass and corvette central for the grill.
But in the end badstage1, you need to let go of the anger towards the seller- if you want to be angry-be angry at yourself for making the deal.
