Would anyone in their right mind buy something like this?
I think no. So why does a dealer like this consistently and relentlessly post for sale ads like this. Obviously someone must be buying these kinds of cars. But who? That's my question. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Porsche-914-/...CU3&vxp=mtr |

I've been told by people who live near BHCC that the stuff they advertise is the leftover dregs. They scour the country looking for any car they can buy on the cheap. Some are the piles of rust you see on eBay and Samba. Some are actually decent projects, and the decent ones are snapped up almost as they roll off the trucks. Only people that are physically present as the cars arrive ever see the better cars. The rest of us only see these sad cases. Of course, those better cars aren't cheap either...
Or so I have been told. |

Or so I have been told. This is the true story...otherwise they wouldn't be in business this long. They always show up at the Pomona Swap with a couple of display cars and they are quite nice high end restorations. For the BH people who want to blow some bucks on getting some attention; what other dealer would you go to? |
