So what happened to Galen Govier

[Kern Dog]

Lennard, I know a guy here in Northern CA that said he had the same type of fender tag! I thought he was just kidding but seeing your post, it seems he was legit !

So what did that cost, you, to supply GG with free documentation for his files??  

You supplied him free information.......

Waste of money

Absolutely jack shit...... I didn't give them any $......but now they have my car's information and I have nothing in return.



UPDATE: Sent them another email this morning wanting to know WTF is going on. Just received an answer requesting more pictures.....

at some point, this obsession w/ the car's "history" and absurdly trivial "options" becomes a circle jerk.

Look, cant argue against the fact that a mopar is objectively more rare than a mustang or a nova and thus there's some more value to it.

then, you can say that a B body is rarer than an a 4 door a body.

then, well, a car with a HEMI is rarer than a 318 or 383. So far so good.

then, a winged car is rarer than non winged car. Still makes some sense.

But when we (and by "we" i mean mopar enthusiasts, and i guess car guys in general) start arguing - and actually believing -  that a car is worth $50K more than a nearly identical one because it was built at the L.A. plant in October of the previous year and has super rare dome light ring that didn't come on cars built after November at the Hamtramck plant...well thats the kinda thing that makes it an unattainable hobby, and then we wonder why young kids would rather buy Scion FR-S instead of a muscle car.

I agree 1,000,000,000%

The "one of one built on a Tuesday by a guy named Todd with dark charcoal bench seats...." stuff is way too much for me. I get it, it's a free country, whatever floats your boat, but I have no interest in the 1 of whatever crowd. It's the reason I keep my fender tag in a safe, and my VIN taped over.

It's like walking up to a stranger and asking to look over the deed to their house or something. Sure, it's not illegal, and there's nothing they could do with it anyways, but it still comes off a little creepy to me.
