Stubes' Nebraska car on eBay...

[MOstang]

I'm a big fan of the band Red Rider (and their lead singer Tom Cochrane who on a solo album sang a rather popular song Life is a Highway) who charted in the early 80's with the song Lunatic Fringe...a good Canadian band.

He's right....I don't know the market, because I'm not in the BUSINESS of buying and selling and flipping cars.

In my BUSINESS, when something doesn't look right, it usually isn't and sometimes it leads to people going to jail.

If you think that a fully restored Missouri car that can't get over $5K in two separate auctions and this one a week later reaching over $8K in one day seems right, then I can't help you.

Buyer beware.

93SCHP is no longer a registered member here.

Car is hardmarked with decals. We know what school he went to.

Mop and Glow Mafia.

it's common reference to the flipper/dealers.

Their King commented in a thread one day that a car for sale on ebay looked like it had mop and glow slathered all over it. He said something to the effect of it being a dealer thing. I guess he would know.

May the UAP protect you my friend.

UAP stands for the United Association of Purists. Joe came up with that one.

Oh now Jim, go easy on the wannabe's......everyone knows that if you go the effort to put emergency lights and police decals on your car it makes you a real policeman. Hmmmm, or maybe that just makes you a douchebag....oh well, whichever fits better!

i was actually talking with the guy about the nebraska car, he seemed pretty nice, i had actually seen it before, but was not interested because it was in nebraska, since he is only 200 miles away, now i am really seriously looking at it. i do not know if he flips alot of cars or not, but the way i look at it, it does not matter what you pay or give for a car, if you really like it, and the price seems right to you, then buy it. everyone here knows, that most of the time when someone finds something they want, they normally sell something else, is anyone saying anything about the guy who sold him the car?

i actually bought his 85 chp car that he owned for 3 years, there is no way i could had restored this car, for what i paid for it. the car is super nice from top to bottom. it drives like a new car, he went into alot of detail on this car, everything was era correct.

The guy who sold him the car had no idea it would be flipped a week after it was sold. He's a member here, so feel free to PM him if you'd like.

The dealer selling it is also selling a Volkswagen.....check out the high bidder on that auction with the 111 feedback number.....that "bidder" is also bidding on the SSP Mustang.

Congrats on your purchase. Your car was actually restored by Jim Yurgealitis, but I understand that the guy you bought it from repainted it and did a bunch of work to it to improve upon it. Jim Y. is a member over on Copcar.com if you ever need to get in touch with him.

Welcome to the website and post up some pics of your car when you can...we haven't seen it since it was repainted.

Loretta,

first.... Welcome to the site!

Since the Morrison's are a car dealer their focus on the car hobby is buying and selling. His parents have an impressive showroom full of great cars. He emailed me last week to let me know they now have my old 92 FHP and 92 CHP cars sitting side by side.

The Nebraska car was owned by a Ford Dealer prior to our member (Stubes) buying it. Stubes did alot of work to the car to make it as nice and correct as it is. He sold it to Morrison to fund another car. Morrison then put it up for sale immediatly.

The fact that the volkswagon buyer is also bidding on the Nebraska car speaks volumes about the sale. I would caution anyone from buying anything that is being auctioned by a dealer. Their network of bidders is suspect. You can always call Morrison Motors and make an offer on the car if you want to buy it, but I wouldn't let other bidders drive up the price. Just my opinion.

The 85 CHP car was a very nice car and already restored when the Morrisons' bought it. It already had all the era correct equipment installed. Morrison repainted the car and added some nos parts, detail items etc. He has owned the car for a few years and did spend some time and money on the car. Please post up some pictures of the 85 CHP car. I saw it when Jim Yurgelitis had it and would love to see how it looks now. Hope to see you at a show with it someday.

i knew he had a small car dealership, when i talked with him on the 85, but he had owned the car for about 3 years, the nebraska car, he said he owned it before, so he bought it back because he new of the car. i think it is a pretty fair deal, what he offered it to me for, i just do not think, people should have a problem with guys buying and selling, like me, i never thought i would have a nice police car, i was able to get one and i hope i will never have to sell it. i have taking it to a few shows, and have really enjoyed it, i actually bought it off of the ssp website, he was very honest with me on the car. the way i look at it, if someone is willing to pay good money for a nice car, then they must really be into the hobby and they will respect and take very good care of the cars. i have only gotten into it over the past 6 months, i think it is very neat.
