Thanks,now I know,but it was too late for my friend.He pulled the trigger on the 65 Dodge,it arrived and the best he can do is take it to a scrap yard.He will be able to salvage the trunk emblem and one tail light The 440 engine turned out to be a tired 383.Maybe my buddy now knows that people and pictures can't be trusted.

He called them and they said just pass it off on someone else.It's certainly not an honorable way of doing business.As usually heed the warning"buyers beware".Since I posted I have recieved many bad reports on them and not one single good one.In hindsite it maybe best to ask on the internet before making a decision.
Thanks everyone.

we once drug the trailer out of 2 ft deep snow in jan,drove 700 miles after work to see a pile of scrap 63 that was wrote up as a solid gem,even 4 phone calls before the trip guaranteed us a nice car,it was advertised in national dragster.we got there at 8 am,had to wait 2 hours for the guy to even show up.5 min later we were hauling mail back to ohio,WITHOUT the showcar.....goes to show you,some people have no problem whatsoever telling tall tales and taking advantage of others..............what a jerk.......


SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

That's a shame...

FWIW, I'd be willing to go check out anything if anyone dare deals with them in the future...I'm pretty close, but never dealt with them.

The sad part is if my buddy would have asked on the net someone could have checked the car out before he bought it or he could have learned about the reputation of the people he was dealing with.Thanks for the honest feedback,I think a lesson has been learned.

Sorry, late to the thread. Otherwise I would have warned you. I live about 1/2 hour away from them. Can't say that I've ever heard anything positive about them.

Too bad here also Bob that he pulled the trigger as my brother had stopped there a few months ago and looked at all the cars and sent me pics. He said most were over priced junk. You know there are always someone close enough to check things out. Take care.


416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!
