Bob ..The troubling red flag," for now" referred to where there are cars I have some interest in ..right at the moment, others could appear, you know the car world. That's a red flag, to you? I miss what you're getting at? I didn't ask YOU for a thing, it's in "general discussion" not in your mailbox n it doesnt appear youd be looking to help. I explained :my whole life I've been a car guy. I mentioned how many cars I've owned ,and that I can't get to where the cars are, also that I have paid for help , as well as had guys who didn't want any money as they just enjoyed the shared "hunt" for cars. For many months I stayed out of this forum. One of the guys had offered me a car and I explained I liked that model but I wasn't interested in it and thanked him.. he went on a tear that I wanted his car for nothing, the fact was it wasn't my kind of car and his price was very high. He couldn't get that his car wasn't for me and started a dust up. So I stayed away from this Forum. So here I am again, a mature guy who just last year, sold a car at a loss to a guy who I knew loved it and would make it even nicer, when another collector offered to pay me more,, but he would part it out. I chose to take less money that buyer wrote me several times with pics and thanking me.. But why do I have to prove myself to you, or others? Are cars so easy to make profits on? Really? And why do you care what I do with my cars I dont care at all what you do with yours?? You know, I joined this Forum to be around guys who appreciate what I appreciate .. only to find some guys in here are nosey ,impolite, or just difficult. But what would I know? I'm still just a Neutral 4 !

JV There are collectors who love cars and want to share their skills to help fellow collectors, and there are those who wish to be paid for their time reviewing a car for someone else. I have dealt appropriately with both types. However, when I hear the immediate tone of "are you trying to make money on this" right off the bat I find it diminishing to me. I have loved cars since childhood and owned over 100 by this point in my life. What I chose and what I do with what I pay for is my business alone. I'd also suggest never do anything for anyone unless you want to . Be clear about if you wish, a payment or not up front, so there are no issues with feeling used. If you do anything expecting certain responses you're bond to be disappointed when or if you don't get what you expected. Just respect each other but be clear from the beginning what your role is and if you wish payment. We are all here, I think because we love cars. Not to pry or judge or assume..just aid a fellow collectors or chose not to. Period.

Otherwise 54-56 Roadie? 1956 Packard 400 1970s Elcamino auto, pw, swivels a plus,2 toned? solid please. Cad 1967 Eldo no vinyl top, solid. like cads 54-64 mostly, 77-79 Cpv, 79 Fleetwood Brougham, 77?-79 Le Cabriolet. Lincoln's 54-60 Or??
