They had a couple questions for me, and said my "Registry Letter" is in the works.

I can hear Master Po now: Patience grasshopper, patience........

Is the "in the works" what you got for the 20 spot? I hope not

can't see him doing anything for 20 bucks but that's just my :cents: :cents:

He advertises $18 for his registry, or how-many-are-known-to-exist, letter. I figured a Jackson was easier than stroking a check. I guess he accepts cash?

Well couldn’t get through to read it but found a few posts that summarize it:


I think he went on moparts to "clear" his name after this auction "mishap". The Pandora's Box he opened was all the people coming out that he's interacted with in the past (including me ). We all know moparts, Charger Board, etc. are a place of discussion, learning and sharing... He blatantly started with:

"Today is Monday February 6, 2012.
I am not here to give anyone information that I would normally charge a consultation for.
I am only here to "clean the toilet" as to identify and/or expose those people who cannot stand someone like me who is trying my best to police the Mopar hobby."

The only reason he's doing this is to defend his reputation, which is heavily tarnished. Doing this, he's hoping to maintain the value of his business and it's potential earnings. What he did at the auction deserves applause and thanks. If he's wishing to "police" the hobby, that's fine too " Captain Mopar!!!!! "... But, the meat and potatoes of people's grievances is his past business practices..

“Well, i'm one of the fools who have read every post . What I don't understand is why all the people who were allegedly scammed by GG( I have no reason to believe they wern't) have taken some kind of legal action . A class action law suit should /could not be that hard to file .
as for the mecum auction scene and I was not there, but according to a poster this Hemi cuda came up or was going up as the real deal with a 318 fender tag and vin plate. GG pointed it out to the buyer as the car having some issues and the buyer wanted his money back. I believ thats the jist of what happened . I have no way of knowing if this is truth or here say .
There's no doubt about it that there are some quite irate Moparites over at moparts and they are not mincing their as to what they are calling GG .


Ahh I thought it had a bogus vin and tag stating it was a hemi built at a plant that didn't produce any hemis. Never would have thought in this day and age someone would try to pass off a car with 318 tags as the real deal on stage in a public auction. Wow

And that may very well be the issue ( about the plant) but there may have been that there were only 318 cars built at this plant . I'm sure Dana Mecum does not want to get a name for selling bogus cars if in fact that was the case. he's probably under extreme pressure with millions on the line , hence the blow up.”

I watched it when it first started, then read a little more the next day. But now I won't bother as all that was being said was just a variation on a theme. I think one reason for the way it went was the way he was talking on there. To say he wasn't there to give away any info, and to then demand the name of someone who he said bashed him somewhere else, well that ain't a way to make friends anywhere you go.

I think it's time that GG asked for his old job back at the Pontiac dealership.

So... I'm tryin' to figure this all out... Was Galen at Mecum as a casual observer? Or, was he there at the request of a client?? Anyway, so he sees what is being offered as a "Hemi'Cuda" and determines that it is really a 318 car. He informs Dana Mecum and a shouting match insues with the new owner demanding his money back? As a result, some guy started a (now defunct) negative thread about Galen on the 'Parts? Was this guy the owner of the "Hemi'Cuda"? Or affiliated with it in some way? It sounds to me like Galen did nothing wrong. I'm actually glad that he was there to catch this "oversight" on the part of Mecum. Mecum should be held accountable for the cars they sell IMO. All the discalimers in the world won't do much for the nationally televised sale of a "high dollar" car. The arena is too big, Mecum needs guys like Galen there - if for no other reason than to preserve their credibility. That's not to say that buyers don't need to know what they are bidding on, but not everyone interested in this wonderful hobby has that type of knowledge. Galen may have his issues, but all in all I give him two thumbs up on this one.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

EDIT: If anyone's interested here's a link to a 'Parts thread that sheds just a little more light on this... Pure entertainment!
