Good evening 427 members Hope everyone had a Great Christmas. I do appreciate all the positive feedback publicly and through texting.
We all at sometime are forced into a corner and you have no choice but defend yourself.
The N on my computer isn’t working so insert the “N” where needed or whatever.
So, _ick, we all remember our member Ivan, and I by no means am I comparing you to him. I put him much higher then you. He was just miss led. We all set back and watched him crumble because it was his way and nothing else. When I went back a year or two later and reread that thread I actually felt sorry for him. He was told a story I believe in the beginning just to get him to buy that car and it went from there.
In your case I asked you as politely as I could to leave this thread alone. But No, that didn’t happen _ick And now you decided to Drag Donny B.s name into this. Donny I’m so sorry this happened. I’ve gotten text from members here I don’t even know telling me thank you. And true friend that I respect but, not you. Everyone here I think, would like to see a moderator for this reason. I don’t feel that for you, it’s more like pitty. Mark has built a great site and I have the most admiration him and what he and others have done for this site.
The problem is not one person has the time or drive that Mark had in the beginning. My suggestion is you all should stand-up when someone starts badmouthing somebody’s thread NOT JUST MINE. When it gives you that queasy felling and you say to yourself “WTF Why did he say that”. That’s when and where that needs to be taken care of.
THIS IS MY CORNER IM BACKED INTO _ick, I have no interest in what you think, I have no interest in your money The wheel is no longer for sale at least to you. Personally I think you need to be banded from this site For a month or two to think about it. We have all had enough.
As far as what I’ve done in my life: I’ve built space shuttle parts in the late ‘70s I carry a class 3 license to be able to walk into Any Nuclear plant for repairs if need be. And I’ve been there. I’ve sold parts over 40 years My parts aren’t Gold there are Good,Real Parts That are in high demand. If I have offended ANYONE besides You _ick, Please let me know and I will delete this thread I have tried to help anyone with parts and info My whole life. And nobody deserves to put up with people and comments Like your. I’m going to stop here because I don’t want to tell you what I really think. I would be blackballed I’m sure Good day all Joe 608-751-0509
Sorry, thought I was posting on the SS427 site. Didn’t get the memo that you had bought this site. Most of the sites I deal with would consider your Comments as aggressive and Inappropriate.
If you or anybody would like pics just text me, the wheel will sell itself.
When I buy some thing, I will pay up for nice parts quality Parts. So you know Nick, I have more than the $1300 in this wheel
Now as far as “*Get Real” and “its going to crack anyway”. Nick. I don’t blame you. You haven’t had this wheel in your hands, or personality seen this wheel so again, “I don’t blame you. Over the years your comments on any and every thread started on this site shows your true spots. Years ago myself and others wouldn’t miss a day on this site. Was one of the most Truly informative sites On the Internet. That has changed. I will end with this My wheel is for sale $1300 You are welcome to get pics and purchase my wheel if you would like No more reDICKulise comments on me, or my parts. I can just imagine what you have gone through in your life and don’t want to make it any worse.
I quit my job over 8 months ago and haven’t collected a dime of unemployment or any hand outs! My Choice I’m not setting behind my computer waiting for “Nancy Pelosi’s (Try Spell Check) $2000 and I’m doing just fine . Have a Merry Christmas to every one here on what still remains the best SS427.com site ever.
Sorry that the rest “OUR” member had to read this But some things need to change. Joe Smith 608-751-0509 Private Comments Welcome
Well said .... I've never had any issues with any of my purchases from you over the years . Always well presented . Unfortunately until someone buys this site and can censor some of these aggressive, price bashing comments, we will have to put up with it . Looks like this individual has now regressed back to the same mindset he had a few years ago . We should all just ignore him
Joe. You said Your wheel has cracks. I have over $4,000.00 in My wheel when I ordered My car and drove it since December 1968. I took it off when it started to crack, and installed a Newer Corvette steering wheel. How in the world did You get over $1,300.00 in Your wheel? Does it need repairing or is it made of Gold? Put pictures on here and let us see it. I will have to ask DonnyB how much it is worth. I am 74 years old and retired and restoring My first Love, "My L72 Impala SS427 Le-mans blue Sport Coupe". I have more than 20 Years as a 1st class Certified Chevrolet Technician and owned a salvage yard. What have You done? I forgot more than You Know. I am working on My cars now. Pictures or shut up. shalerdgsvs@aol.com427impalasportcoupe
Nick , Ive known Joe longer than I can remember . No one on this site knows more about muscle cars and parts of this era than he does. Only one that needs to shut up about this wheel is you. Sorry that you feel the need to be the way you are towards others . Merry Christmas Nick .
Jon. Good to hear from You. Everyone is going through a rough time. I started at a dealership in 1967 to 1997. I also owned a salvage yard which My parents started in 1956. We owned 1,000's of cars, most of which We bought from Reedman Motors in Langhorne, pa. largest dealership in the world. They also sold performance cars. I deserve a "Little Respect" from Everyone. I also own an Original dealer ordered 1969 Impala SS427 car that I just restored and have My original wood sport wheel that cracks. If You know anyone who restores them, let Me know. I have almost $100,000.00 in parts and labor and paint. You know They cost that much. Happy New Year Jon NICK L72427impalasportcoupe
I have been teaching Vocational Education for 45 years at Flora High School in Flora Illinois. I push the R word to my students every day . The R word is respect . I have them write a 1 page report on their thoughts of the meaning of the word respect at the beginning of the school year. I keep their papers and at the end of the school year we do the same thing again . We then compare the two papers . Kind of amazing what 9 months can do to young minds . I really push my junior and senior students . I push them to do better . They will say to me why do you bitch so much Mr. Upton . I say to them call it bitching if you want . I call it pushing . They say why do you push us so much . I say because I care . If you young people enter the world of work as you are now , you won't make it . That is why I push you . My point is this this. I tell them that the word respect , that one word will carry you farther in life than any other word in the dictionary . At the end of the school year most of my students agree . Respect is earned and not deserved . Also I have had students come back to me years later and thank me for pushing them so hard . I always come back and say it is all about the R word . RESPECT Joe I agree with everything that you have said . It was very well said .I hope my words have been taken in a positive way . I hope everyone had a great Christmas , and I hope all of you have a great and Happy New Year .
John U. I was trying to purchase a 69 wood steering wheel. I was trying to negotiate a price that I thought was too high for a cracked wheel. Joe had to take offense to My comments. If He did not want to sell it to Me in the first place. He should have said so. He does not have the right to start a text criticising Me. I supported Everyone with Ivan on here, and am better than Them. Now I would like an appology. He is not the most knowledgable person, even though He has sold parts for 40 years. As a senior member, does not give Him the right to run this forum. I have been in the automobile business since 1956 as I mentioned. He has worked at a Nuclear power plant for His job, as He so stated. NICK L72427impalasportcoupe
Nick I am not trying to create a problem here .But why do you say you deserve respect , and you say you are better than them . Just because you worked for years as a Chevy tech and an owner of a junk yard . I am no expert on anything but I tell you this , with all due respect , do not criticize others and their parts and cars just because you may not agree with them . This site is suppose to be informative and fun . If someone describes a part in a way that you may not agree with , then remember that great Beatles song Let It Be I am not trying to criticize or create a problem for you , just Let It Be and move on and enjoy our cars . I see and hear things from what others say and I may not agree with them , but I am no going to critize anyone or anything . Maybe I should not have posted anything here . I am not trying to stir the pot . Maybe I should have taken Abe Lincoln's advice . One of his greatest quotes . "Better to remain silent and thoought a fool , than to speak out and remove all doubt ." I am sorry if I have stepped on any ones toes here . Have a Happy New Year and make this site a fun site .
Hey John, I just read this whole interesting little thread ... But you're wrong, you haven't stepped on anyone's toes at all ... And as for taking old Abe Lincoln's advice yes I agree, some-"one" definitely should, but it sure ain't you ... Cheers Glenn
Get real Joe. My original wheel has 3 cracks, Yours will probably crack if used and drive. They can repair them. I'm going to sell mine if Yours is worth $1300. Pictures and How much to Me? It is Christmas and We haven't received Our $2,000.00 check from Nancie Pelosie..NICK L72427impalasportcoupe
