No the idea is, this guy is trying to come across as altruistic, by saving our beloved Crossfires for mankind to further enjoy.
When in reality, he's a body shop owner, who's purchased a handfull of totalled Crossfires (for pennys on the dollar) that he intends on repairing, altering their titles, and reselling to an unsuspecting buyer as a straight car, for a tidy profit.
If you can't see this, then God help you in your future automotive purchases.
Sorry for coming off sounding more than a little "jaded" but as I said, I was in the car business, and I saw this sort of thing time and time again. I never knowingly purchased a salvaged vehicle, because of the possibility of some future legal entanglement.
I'm glad the cars are being repaired, and will someday be road worthy, but it's not right for ANY future owner not to be made aware of the cars true history, and washing the title accomplishes just that.
I applaud Yoda for being so up front and forthright with us on the forum, as to what he intends to do with these cars. But I'd love to see the "Carfax" on all the cars after their titles have been doctored. This could be a "learning experience" for us all.
