Our Polara in North Carolina

Renamed the subject so as not to interfere with the '1963 MW car built 
in LA?' topic...

I had forgotten that, sorry! I remember the paint chip you sent for our 
'white' stripe though, thanks again for that!

Nick, was the (later to be 'our') Polara complete and running when you 
saw it? As it was in pieces when we went over, we couldnt get a test 
drive. I'd be very interested to know how it drove before the seller 
stripped the engine for the pre-sale work he agreed to do (valve guides, 
new converter, rear main seal).
Without getting personal (ie slanderous!), what did you make of the 
seller? We got on like a house on fire while we were there and after we 
received the car, right up until we started asking questions as to why 
we couldnt get it running right, and 'did you notice the driver side 
rear axle flange is bent' etc etc. After that he offered to have the car 
back for a full refund but wouldnt accept that any of the problems we 
were having were present before he shipped the car. Havent exchanged an 
email between us since then.
His other cars (about 14 in his garage) were so nice I find it hard to 
believe our car was put back together to his usual standard - I'm sure 
there was an element of 'just get it back together and shipped over the 
pond, let them sort it out!'

Haven't mentioned any names; dont want to 'dis' anyone, it's just 
something that's been bugging me...

Perhaps these pics will remind you!
