I hate to come close to taking his side, but I think I have become used to him. He can be a jerk, but once you get used to him and the way he works it can be entertaining. He cut up a nice Shark Corvette as well, so he has pissed off both communities I read now!
As for buying the cars, this time he went down to the Long Beach Swap Meet and bought the car, himself. For cash. As long as we sell our cars without constraints on how they will be used, it is tough to complain. Would you complain if he paid the owner $30,000 for it? I think he paid about $8,000, but it was enough to convince the owner, which is all that mattered. Also, it is hard to say how "nice" and "cherry" the Elky really was. Paint looked poor and there was some evidence of less than perfect conditions. It might have been a basket case, NOM, or even a clone. If I buy a trailer queen and drive it every day and fade the upholstery and get door dings and end up blowing the engine after five years, you still don't have your car anymore and it is still no longer what it was. Do I like to see a nice old car hacked? Nope. But if he pays for it, he should be able to do what he wants.
