Ok, let's see, Bob Strohrigl sold stuff on ebay back some 15-20 years ago and was know for misrepresenting and wasting people's time and general low class shenanigans. We knew him on the old realoldspower.com well about 2006ish. We called him 'God Bless' Bob because he would end his ebay postings with "Thank you and God Bless." *THE* Rocket Scientist, the late, great Chris Witt, had a special place for God Bless Bob in his contempt.

My only real interaction with Bob was he swore, on the phone, up and down, that he had a center armrest seat for my 67 442. I drove, with a friend, from Terre Haute to Jeffersonville, some 3 hours each way, and met Bob in a trailer park where all his **** was under tarps in the rain, in like three different lots in piles he had negotiated from neighbors. He had no armrest seat, only the non-armrest. His stuff was rusty, moldy **** , he had lied to me (either that he had the seat, or that he knew he had it or not) and made my friend and I waste 6 hours. He may have even wanted to have his friend and him mug me if I had been a small dude and by myself, but I am basing that off the vibe of the trailer park and him and his friend in general.

Other people can tell their interactions, I should only tell my own.

And he's still asking the same ridiculous prices and portraying his stuff to be in excellent condition when it's total crap.

I too noticed that he's moved on to FB. Most would remember him from his ALL CAPS ads on 442.com

Make sure you call him out on Facebook too, since most of the younger/newer Olds guys dont use these forums. Every time Terry Fritsch shows up I nail him about the thousands of dollars he stole from customers.

Exclamation

Ah yes, 442Bob, the ultimate junk seller.

First ran across him around 1999.

Parts were always misrepresented.

We had a ton of fun on 442.com teasing him.
