Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 The Vin numbers did not match... Why do this to a good car???I feel for the guy on ebay that owns it..Here is the link:https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/watch-the-feds-crush-a-classic-mini-for-breaking-the-law-160959576.htmlI saw the article today. Price's salvage yard is in Plumstead Twp., NJ Which I believe is in New Egypt, across from the speedway. It does seem like the guy should have been able to part it out. Maybe he has recourse to get his dough back from the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capngrog Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wow, a combined omnibus, comprehensive task force of both American and British bureaucrats! The terrorists and other bad guys won't know what hit them. This sort of thing makes me proud to be a U.S. of A. Taxpayer. I wonder who wound up losing the value of the car, the seller or the buyer? I have a sneaking suspicion that the buyer in the U.S. took the financial hit."Foreign sellers were defrauding American consumers who thought they were purchasing a vintage car, when in fact they were purchasing a potentially unsafe car." said Nancy Lewis, associate administrator at the U.S. Department of Transportation." ... purchasing a potentially unsafe car." Holy Guacamole! Stop the presses! I guess that we'll all have to turn ourselves in since every car ever made is/was "potentially unsafe" from the moment it was driven off of the assembly line. I think I'll just have to bury my cars in the back yard and take public transportation from now on. I'm sure glad that Nancy and her minions are looking out for my safety and welfare, since they think I'm obviously incapable of doing so.End of mindless rant,Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
