Also your description states it is a one of kind, then states it is #11 of 15. If there are 15 it can't be one of a kind. Doesn't one of a kind mean there is only one? Anyhow good luck with your sale hope it goes well, by the way you sold your bumpers way to cheap they should have been in the $400.00 range for the pair. I just sold a set a couple months ago for $425.00. You were very generous and I think someone took advantage of you. Again JMO.

Wasn't this car donated by Mike Krehel at the Louisville event in 2006? Someone may know the answer to this maybe Marty Usher who organized the event. I remember Gary C had purchased this originally but we can't ask him. This is what we deal with here at POA.

I know you are an a$$hole!!!!!!!!!! Like everyone says you are! I have to agree with them.

im glad to have sold my bumpers to a nice guy like Buddy.
He got an awesome price and i got them out of my sight which is win win.

Hey There Jesse ... welcome back to POA! Hope all is well with you, and that the New Year is off to a great start.

Say, you are a smart guy, and truly are aware of those that "know nothing", and just run off at the mouth, from those that actually DO know a thing or two. I believe Steve was just trying to offer his opinion on his perception of this offer, and made a reasonable observation, from his own experience, on the sale of your bumpers too. Clearly, and you must agree, that a $400 purchase of a non-essential item like these HVBlue repainted Maisto's could be taken as an extravagance, especially given the state of our economy - not everyone has realized a tripling of their income in the last 12 months, have you? You are right about one thing, in applying the principles of supply and demand ... this IS one of just 15 unique items - just now have to see what the demand is.

In any event ... don't get led down an old path by a bad seed ... it's not worth it, and there are too many really good people here that are wise to that situation.

Best of luck to you on this sale, and anything else that you offer up as you clean house! Take care.

On the car I have, the wheels are ribbed and painted silver, not chrome.
He said he did a little aftermarket work on the other one. I noticed the door covers on the interior and seats are painted on his. There is no writing on the actual car either, only the box.

The ribbed wheels were the style that Chrysler had on the concept car. Somehow Maisto got the concept wheels on the models of production car. Obviously this is an error, but that is the only wheels Maisto made either in silver or chrome.
Also some came with black Interiors and some came with light gray. Mine has the black. Altough the modifcations were very simple, it would be hard to replicate mine now unless you were able to find a complete unassembled kit.

Being proud of that is a very interesting statement, PMs from others tell me you were banned from this site for quite a while. Sounds like from what they say you were the king of the bashers. I know exactly what I am talking about, my brother had one of these in HVB. He bought it several years ago and we had many discussions about it. He was convinced it was a true collectible, I wasn't. Again JMO. I don't say anything on the computer that I will not say to someone's face. Using the keyboard has nothing to do with any statement I make.

A couple years ago I made a Prowler Lionel train. I put one of each color Prowler on a car. Some colors were available some were not. The ones that weren't available I had a friend of mine Jerry Sievers from Paint-N-Place mix the exact Prowler colors I needed to paint the cars. The only color I didn't get was HVB. When Mike K found out I was making the train he was kind enough to contact me and offer me a bottle of HVB paint to paint the last car. I received it in a couple days and painted the car and placed it on the flat car. It may be the only one like it in existence. Do I consider it a true authentic collectible, absolutely not. It may be one of a kind but that doesn't make it an authentic collectible, it is a made up item and always will be just that. The seller stated his item was a one of a kind then stated there were 15, that is not a one of a kind, it is in fact 1 of 15. I was not bashing anyone I simply made a statement concerning the item. I don't care what the asking price or selling price is on the item. I hope he gets what he wants and I hope someone gets a nice collectible. My brother offered me his for $250.00 and I passed, it just wasn't something I felt was worth that kind of money. H e did sell it for $200.00 I believe, which was still more than I would have paid. I guess it is just a matter of how you feel about a certain item. I have about 4,200 pieces in my Prowler collection most are authentic, some aren't but they were items I wanted so I bought them. Cheap is something I have never been called, I pay what I need to pay to buy an item, when I want something price is only considered if I feel it isn't worth it to me, not to say it wouldn't be worth that to someone else. Just before Christmas I bought all 4 Ponds for $2800.00 that may have been a bit high but the seller would not break up the set and I needed the Chrysler Financial Pond to complete my set. I have the others and may sell them or maybe not. I sold one of the small ponds to Chris (cnote) a while back again I got it with a collection I bought.

The front bumpers are worth more than $50.00 each and everyone here knows that. If the seller is happy with what Buddy paid him for them that's fine but the bottom line is they are worth more. I sold the set I had to a guy on this site, he lives in PA. He had a damaged bumper and needed one he bought them and a couple weeks later his other bumper was damaged and he was able to use the one he didn't need. A while back I cleaned house of Prowler items and listed about $11,800.00 worth of items, Buddy did make me an offer of $2800.00 which I promptly refused. I sold the items, most local, the first thing to go was my hardtop, it sold for $3000.00 so I was already ahead of the game.

I don't care what anyone sells here or doesn't sell here, I simply made a statement about someone selling cars for $25.00 plus shipping when they are on e-bay for $7.00. Anyone that pays 3 times the amount something is worth is a moron. Who here would pay $90,000.00 for a Prowler just because someone has one for sale and is selling it on this site. No one and you know it, again not unless they are a moron!

I didn't bash anyone or anything they are selling I simply voiced my opinion as to what I thought about the items or items being sold. This economy is and will continue to dictate what any collectible is worth.
