Streetside always lays it on thick. They can spin enough hype to run a presidential campaign.


I fell out with them couple yrs back. They had a 68 Thunderbird in the Atlanta showroom that was 95% the car I was looking for. Asked if they could bring the car to Charlotte showroom as I could justify a 2 hr trip to Charlotte to inspect it whereas I simply didn't have enough time to make an Atlanta trip, which I thought was a reasonable request. They blew me off with some bullcock story about it would cost them over $2000 (!) to transport the car up there and without a guarantee of a firm sale they couldn't justify it. $2 grand for a 3 hour trip? Get real.

Well I sent a message to them on ebay reminding them, since they clearly forgot, that the H code 305 was in a fact a chevy and while it certainly is legendary, its not olds and that the Y code 307 which was similar in size and was olds, would not be invented for 2 more years yet...

I have not gotten a response.

I am not sure I'd call the Chevy 305 legendary. The 350, possibly.
