The ad stated that the car had recently had been rebuilt. The car had several large areas with rust. The body panels were cracked, over 40% of the floor pan rivets were ground off from on off track incident, the fire bottle is 7 years past the service due date, The spare body work is not complete (the ad stated it was complete). The "complete set of body work" is missing at least 1/4 of key components, including the engine air scoop, front side panels, and a 24" x 14" hole is cut out of the side of the engine cover… (First picture kept loading upside down)
When I emailed the seller about each item, he stated tha the engine cover is from a different model car, he said in an email after I received the car, that I should have inquired more specifically. If the ad says "recent rebuild," how does that need further inquiry about the condition of the floor pan, body panels, and rust?
He also said that the spare body is from a completely different car and needs mods and that I should have inquired about the specifics of the "complete spare body", Really????
Barry is a crook. Regardless of how he may have acted in the past in other transactions, there are major discrepancies with what he stated compared to what I received. There are other glaring out right lies regarding the shipping costs that were quoted; including emails that Barry claimed that he was quoting the broker as saying the agent in Houston would only charge $100, but the bill was almost $2000 and the broker said that he never told Barry the fee would only be $100. I believe that based upon the whole series of lies in his emails, that particular lie was to expediate shipping the car. Once he received his payment, what recourse would I have about his lies and the shipping costs?
