TO PINTONY
« on: April 30, 2005, 09:45:54 PM »
Pintony, when I bought my 78 Pinto off of a guy from Strausburg, OH, I think he said he tried to buy mirrors for the car from you and you sent them and they weren't the right ones and he sent tham back and you gave him his mirrors back but not his money, or something similar to that story, do you possibly remember this and could clarify? It's a 78 Blue Pinto Runabout.
Thanks!

Hey Bluegoldpinto,
 YES that was me.
 Just to clarify the transaction took place in Columbus at the Spring or Fall???? swap.
I sold the fellow the mirrors at one swap possibally the spring swap.
He asked me if I would buy them back at the next Columbus swap.
 I agreed. I think he dropped the mirrors when I was not at my space.
I dealt with an older man and he was supposed to come back and retrieve his monies.
 I' m not sure I ever knew the fellows name. He was buying for his son.
I have not been to the columbus swap since Wayne Curry died in Oct of 2002.
To clarify that... I have not "Set-up" to sell at the Columbus swap.
I'm not sure what happened to the fellow that bought the mirrors.
I may have been away visiting other venders. I'm not sure.
 What I am sure of is the amount of money that I owe 75.00
If you know how to get in touch with this fellow????
 Please give him my number or pass on this info.

Pintony,
Hey, thanks for the info, I really wasn't sure how the whole thing happened. If I can find the guy's telephone number from when I got the car I'll pass it on, I'm sure he'll appreciate your sincere honesty. Speaking of the Columbus swap meet, I went up there last month, and I can tell you that you aren't missing much. There was only ONE Pinto up there in a Ford motor cars display, and almost NO Pinto parts, except some Pinto Mustang II mirrors which were priced at 25 dollers each. (kind of ironic isn't it?) But anyway let me see if I can find the number, and if not I guess your not out of 75 smackers ;)
Again, thanks ;D

Hey BGP,
 I'd sure be happy if I could settel up with the fellow about the mirrors.
It really bothers me.
 Yes Please contact me if you find the info.
 Depending on the price of fuel I might go to the fall meet in Columbus.
Used to be alot better when I could split the gas and hotell bill with some other swapers.
Wayne Curry is sorrly missed.

Pintony-
Hey, I found the number!! Turns out I never transfered the title so I got his name and "Googled" it! (don't tell him that though, he might want his car back!!! ;)) So anyway, his name is Eric C. Whitman, and the number is 330-878-8052. If you don't want to pay long distance charges (your in Indiana, right?) just tell me and I will call and give him the number posted above that you gave me. If not, I think that that number is actually his Dad's house (the guy you talked to) but you can deal with him, he will tell his son. So, hope this helps, I'm glad if we can get this all straightened out!!
Thanks

Well Pintony? Did you contact him or did you want me to? I probably shouldn't have posted his number here but I trust that no one will use it in a wrong way.
