Who on here has used Galen's services?
NOT bashing...he is a good source....he has collected much...and all of it is likely valid....and yes I said LIKELY...there are no manufacturer records to confirm his database of knowledge...hence it is a collection he has compiled from many sources. I recognize that he is likely the foremost knowledgeable man regarding Mopars. But as far as confirmed validated proof beyond a shadow of doubt....the ONLY place I know of that has THAT level of Data is the Pontiac Historical Society...they purchased the actual General Motors/Pontiac records....just before the fire that destroyed the GM warehouse that housed all this stuff.
SO while he is indeed foremost, it is NOT absolute. What you are buying into is a vast collection of data compiled by GG and it is very likely accurate as all get out... The MAN does know his mopars...you can't spend that many years compiling that much data and NOT have a lot of it stick!!
There has been controversy and I agree if you are NOT playing in the BJ / Mecum, level of restorations & auctions....WHO CARES?
If I was lookin to spend 1.5m on a convertible hemi cuda...I would prolly use his services and pay dearly for it....but I did my cuda for a helluva lot less than that.....and it stands on its own....pedigree's are for purists and in today's economy the dollar difference is nominal at best. Besides who would spend enough money to buy three perfectly restored cars for ONE, just because of the numbers? its silly and it is proving to not be a very SOUND investment!
besides if you did spend 1.5 mil would you take it ANYWHERE?? I am fairly certain I wouldn't...
I built my car to drive it and it does not matter to me WHAT ANYONE ELSE thinks of that, including the esteemed Mr G.
