galen govier - waste of time - buyer beware

That's why I started a 69 GTX convertible registry as well. Free also.

Having seen the trend over the years of GG going from respected expert to douche supreme frustrated me.  I really hate the idea of him having stolen/dumpster dive/whatever the Chrysler records and holding that data hostage.  Hence the open registries I created.

When he dies and his estate is settled I hope whoever gets the records posts the data freely.

douche supreme



That's funny, good one homerr

I remember him coming out to one of our big Mopar shows that we have every year, (this was a very long time ago).....he would only talk with you if you owned a Hemi or a six-pak car....

If you owned a standard 383 or 440 car, or any of the other "lesser" engines in your car, he would not give you the time of day, he just walk away and not even recognize you or the car

Especially the rumored 69 Charger 500 list.

About 15-20 years ago he was involved in authenticating (giving his blessing) to a rare Cuda in Canada that needed a total resto. After the new owner spent an assload of money on this rusted out hulk the restoration shop discovered that it was not what it appeared to be. MCG ran an article on it. They had egg on their face because they had their nose up Galens ass for quite a while back in the days.

Was that the B5 71 "pilot" car?

Could be. I remember that the car was heavily optioned (like all pilot cars) including power windows. The wiring was long gone by then which wasn't unusual but the car was also missing the holes in the doors and jambs needed to run that wiring.

Mayby Put this as a Sticky. Seems odd people are still inquiring about his services.

I agree, and think about this, how many customers that got screwed, DID NOT submit to the BBB?

I would guess that under 1/4 of the customers that got screwed. reported him to BBB.

Even in the reports it looks as if they are lying till the end.
They just keep saying, we are working on it, we will get it right out, BLAH BLAH BLAH, the stuff someone would say to buy more time.

Man if someone could just get to his files and all the info he has stashed away, It could make a very helpful book for the Mopar community.

Karma is a bitch...

[AKcharger]

A pal of mine had a decent experience with him many years ago to document is '68 HEMI GTX. But like you guys I heard mostly bad stuff and wouldn't think about talking to him as I have lowly B-block chargers.

I do recall an AWESOME thread on moparts flaming him several years ago...very amusing

Yea, it amazes that after all the bad press he has generated over the past 18 years, that people still throw money at him.

I think it depends on whether you are a hardcore Mopar guy or someone who hears his name a lot at the auctions and figures it means something.

And I keep in mind that he DID at one time contribute to our hobby.
But, I also keep in mind that he allegedly obtained a ton of very specific Mopar information fraudulently, and at little to no expencive out of his pocket, and then sold it back to us!!!!! 
And continues to do so.



I wish I could keep getting paid for work I did 25 years ago!!!!!
Rock stars have it made, write, and record a song, and continue years later to still get paid from it!!!!That and the women!!!
