pc85 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Maybe they wanted the car as well and now gonna fix it and put a mechanic lien on it.He put a mechanic's lien on it. I had a lawyer friend of mine prepare a release, had Fred sign it, then sent him the title. GOOD RIDDENS. Fred also jacked up the bill for repairs from $5,300 (original tune plus all the repairs at no charge) to over $8 K including all the repairs that were supposed to be done at no charge. Total A$% W@$e. That's why he's selling for $8,300. Trying to get his money back on the parts and labor. I hope it rots in his garage.

Colin Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have a question for anyone who sees this... what is this car worth reasonably running/driving like it should with all the mods... I might pay Fred a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have a question for anyone who sees this... what is this car worth reasonably running/driving like it should with all the mods... I might pay Fred a visit. PM me if you really want to know what's been done to it.Problem is Mt. Fairy motors totaled the engine so nobody really knows what condition its in and I wouldn't believe anything the moron, Fred nor his side kick, Paul have to say. I can tell you it ran better before I took it down there and it wouldn't even start last May. Realistically, I doubt anyone would pay $3,000 for it. Just check the "For Sale" thread and compare what cars are really SELLING for; not asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc85 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I wish there was a way to keep the locals who don't know better from getting ripped offI just posted a review on Google. You and your buddy should do the same. You could comment on what you have heard about his questionable reputation and your buddy could comment on his experience working there. The more people know the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love the car. so here we go again.You have no idea how much passion I had for the car and yes it was like a child. I bought it new in 1985 and have really been mourning the loss. I've been checking the forum regularly hoping to read some news of my lost ride and get some answers as to the actual condition. From what you said about it running rough, that's how it was when I tried to pick it up the first time. So you've answered that question; the engine is still not right and is going to need some work. I look forward to seeing how this gets resolved and hope she landed in good hands.Take good care of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I hope this car sees its true potential. My suspension is sitting under it. It has Tokicos front and rear with a set of Arts coil overs from years back. I miss my suspension, I cant even fathom how you feel about loosing the car. Good luck bruthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerQuest Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Lyons8821, how did you pay for the car? You should file a complaint with Ebay and Paypal for the seller misrepresenting the car. They described it as "excellent mechanical condition" when it obviously was not. You might get your money back AND get to keep the car, or at least get a partial refund. I would also file a complaint with the state for them misrepresenting the condition of the car and failing to disclose known issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
