I don't think so because all James sold was junk. I could be wrong.

ratrod67 · 02-01-2008, 08:29 PM

Yea, it's him.

Looks like him to me

lilred67 · 02-01-2008, 10:52 PM

that's him. he has been posting alot of junk on cl. we seen him at the lagrave swapmeet last weekend in ft.worth. me and some other forum members have been flagging every post he has on cl.they even posted pics of him on cl and warned everyone of his low life ways. i heard he has someone working for him now so he doesn't look like the front man??

72 Cheyenne402 · 02-01-2008, 11:02 PM

That guy still owes me some side marker lenses or my money back.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-01-2008, 11:35 PM

Doesn't this truck belong to a board member?

BowTieOgre · 02-02-2008, 12:23 AM

Some of the trucks in the Customers Rides section look very familiar.

shifty · 02-02-2008, 06:09 AM

Yes, he was selling it recently (3-4 months ago?)

The guy is piece of work... The Blazer picture on his website is from this ad currently on Ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-...em310018867770

I'm going to email the seller (a dealer) to them know the picture is being used by this jackass.

***Liz*** · 02-02-2008, 12:43 AM

looks to me as if all the pics with the ebay camera icon on the right bottom are from the site. I could be wrong but doubt I am

Exactly..Just stole them off ebay.

jsbgump · 02-02-2008, 12:52 AM

Yup that's his sorry butt. At the Ft. Worth swap meet he was bragging about how his stuff was cheaper than the other vendors. It's cheaper because he buys from vendors that the big guys dropped 10 years ago because the product was junk and never fit right or held up. I have been sending e-mails to craigslist to ban him.

19stepSide72 · 02-02-2008, 01:38 AM

the CL listing is deleted already!!

bouncytruck · 02-02-2008, 04:56 AM

It's lame that he's posting pics of trucks that most likely aren't customers. Looks like he found most on ebay or other websites.

BowTieOgre · 02-02-2008, 05:18 AM

I know the BOTTOM one belonged to a boardmember before he traded it on a new CC.

Rob finally sold his truck?

Putter · 02-02-2008, 05:23 AM

Oh snap...that was Rob Hartley's truck.

***Josh*** · 02-02-2008, 12:35 PM

It's him again, sad part is people still get lured in by his junk and low prices..... Let's hope the rightful owners of the pictures throw a big enough fit and report him to his webhost for copyright violations.

Pop's72 · 02-03-2008, 04:14 AM

I sent the FYI to the Blazer ad/picture owners and received back:

"Thanks for the info."

I don't think they are going to do anything about it, but hopefully I'm wrong.
