More power to him on flipping it. If it's worth it to him,it's not like he's asking more than what it's worth,if you ask me.

I hope you don't mind,but I have a somewhat similar story. Back in the late-90s I built a pro-street '70 CST Stepside. Well,basically,I had been building it when a builder went bankrupt owing me a big chunka change. So,I slapped it together the rest of the way with only a few refinements I still wanted to do but wasn't going to throw any more money at it for someone else. I took it to Pigeon Forge Truckin' Nationals to sell. It looked great and had an angry built LS6. I had this guy offering me an insulting amount below my asking price and,even if he offered me more than I was asking,I decided I did not like his attitude and just didn't want him to have my truck...and I told him exactly that. So,later that day I sold it to someone else for a price I was very happy with. It turns out,that guy who rubbed me the wrong way had sent this guy over with his cash. Oh well,at least I didn't have to suffer through another minute of talking to this jerk. Well,truck's now gone,I paid my debts,and about a year (maybe more) later I get a classic truck magazine and there it is!! He had it painted another red,changed the seat,put a '72 grille in,Lokar floor shifter,and added more bling under the hood (I made it look like a factory 402,the paint was factory 514 red,and it had a factory seat w/Cheyenne cover). It was cool to see my truck in a magazine,but I didn't like that the article made it sound like he built the truck when all he did is add his touches. That guy had money,not talent. I had done everything but the engine/trans and back half/narrowed rear,which were done by two different guys,both hardly a stone's throw from my house.
