color:#1F497D'>In 2006, a previous owner of HBJ8L/40136 sent me an inquiry into
whether I had any record of the car. I did not. He said it had been stolen
from him in 1970 and never recovered and he was searching for it. I put the
car into the BJ8 Registry with the note about its history and the contact info
for the victim. In 2012, I saw it come up for sale on BHCC and notified him. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I requested that in his efforts to recover the car from BHCC
that he not mention the BJ8 Registry or my name. BHCC had been very
accommodating to me with info about BJ8s they were offering up to that point,
and I did not want them to quit advertising the VINs of the BJ8s they had for
sale. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'>I did a
survey there for an Australian buyer a few years ago. They were very
accommodating and put the car on a lift and I got a thorough look. The test ride
was brief as the brakes were marginal and the engine was very rough. I did get
through all the gears and a listen to the rear end. It was not a drive it home
car. The car was destined for a complete restoration so matching numbers and
frame and body condition were more important.. I didn't know the price he was
quoted but I thought the buyer would get more for his money through one of the
clubs. After the survey the buyer made the deal and BHCC arranged the shipping.
I think he knew what he was getting and got what he expected.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

"Never buy a pig in a poke." You or a trusted advisor should take a
hard look at a car before you make the deal. BHCC is just like the want adds or
a used car lot sometimes good sometimes not. It's up to you to make sure what
you are getting or no bitching later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
