The sad truth is ... a LOT of folks .. DO ... just buy and sell the cars for a profit ... and will LIE to enhance it's value or LIE to cover up some things. Then some sellers just do not know. Others kept poor records ...

I know a man who has owned over a 100 pre 49 vehicles in the past 20 years. He buys them, patches them up or gets bored with them and then sells them. He only has one that he has kept all the years ... A lot of the ones he had ... he slipped the title ... ( never had it registered in his name ) and sold the car to the next buyer off the open bill of sale he got when he bought it. Sometimes he removes the GOOD STUFF and then sells the vehicle ... He is basically a used car dealer for old cars ... without a dealers license.

When you go to a major rod event ... especially from Mid-Summer on ... a good 1/4 of the cars there are for sale ... at Daytona Thanksgiving event ... the percentage is even higher. A lot of folks BUY IN ... did not build the car ... and now want out. They bought someone elses problems and want to unload it.

A lot of Roadster's suffer this fate ... of being sold again and again.
And can be a real good well built car. Folks see a roadster and think ... WOW ... what a lot of fun ... and then the ... MRS ... gets caught in the rain. They get sunburned a few times. The wind bothers them at 75 MPH. The cool weather comes or the newness and novelty wears off and the roadster is up for sale. Roadsters are a lot like Harleys are now. Folks bought into the idea without evering considering the weather and the upkeep.




Yes ... I have been known to own and ride a few Harleys too ...
