Leeedy: I am very sorry that you were not able to contact the seller for the ads I posted. I agree that it apparently makes no sense. This individual bought a total of 39 cars st the C.Louis Ablelove auctions and has listed several for resale, at least one as far back as last year. His total investment in the cars was quite significant and he must have been planning all along to try to resell at least some for a profit. No one could restore that many cars, not even in several lifetimes. So, one would think he would be eager to recoup his investment and would be responsive to any inquiries.

I had an incident recently where I answered an ad for a Packard and the seller never responded. Again, no explanation why. I think that sometime people are not really serious about selling and just want to see how many responses they get, just for the heck of it. Or they are potential scammers.

All I can say is that I hope you have better luck next time you respond to an ad. I post ad links on this site with the hope of connecting a car to a buyer who will either preserve or restore it and there were a number of cars at the C.Louis Ablelove auctions that I would like to see saved. It is disappointing to me as well if these cars are not going to good homes because of issues with the current owner not being responsive to prospective buyers.
