He is going to regret that decision. Once it shows up, I would like to see the look on his face. Up close, that car has to be horrible. I guess, to each their own. There is a sucker born every minute.

No offense to you or your friend but this is the perfect example of an:

Askhole.

Someone who asks for your advice, then makes their decision while completely ignoring your advice.

Here's the text of the post in case you're not on Facebook:

I just banned High Octane Classics from the group for being rude to one of the members here, who had tried to school him on all things Mopar. He reported the member's comments. I tried to make nice with him but failed, and when he doubled down with his condescending attitude, I let him hit the road.
Businesses are welcome here if they also give back to the group. I had been watching that one and he was not giving. Problem solved.

Thanks to everyone who reports posts and comments. We admins try to stay on top of the group, to make it the best Mopar group around.


Between what others have already said about the car at High Octane and the dealer being booted from the Facebook page, your friend shouldn't even bother with that car.



That car is a hard pass. Not even worth talking about it.

The Facebook thing is interesting. That dealer is the one Steve magnate used to pitch for. Shame he’d be involved with that kind of crew.

Also interesting that Facebook group had enough a MA dealer using the group and not giving back. I used to complain about that exact thing happening here and nobody cared. I pointed out the guy wasn’t even a sponsor and still nobody cared. I haven’t seen him in years and hope he’s gone for good.


Wouldn't surprise me a bit if High Octane Classics was one of the page's founding members then treated others the way the page's rules says won't happen. Eventually, the admin(s) bounce the member and that's all others see.

I didn't look at any of the pics, but, if that RR has a bunch of undercoat, watch out for rotted frame rails filled and covered with coating. Especially sort of fresh coating and a northeast US car... Poking those faux frame rails with a screwdriver can be incredible fun!

There were no chassis pics, trunk pics or even engine pics. This poor guy is in for a rude awakening.

The fellow says he has engine & underneath videos which I haven't seen. When I suggested the paint was a scuff & shoot deal vs how a $43K car would have been taken down to bare metal, etc., the dealer told him the car was taken in on trade and was put in storage - they didn't do anything to it (clearly). Plans are to add an Air Grabber hood and 6.4 supercharged Hemi. All I can say is, Too each their own and, Drive on my brotha.

LOL. So, not only did he grossly overpay for the car, but he is going to tear into the car and discover what a steaming pile he actually bought and then drop another huge amount of money into said steaming dungpile. Why in the world would he just have not bought a done (well) RestoMod?

Hard to grasp this is really happening as described.

What could go wrong?

Apparently High Octane Classics does not care one bit about its reputation selling a turd like that for 43k. And sounds like guy bought the car sight unseen.

I'm sure HOC is as shady as an old oak tree. And you are right, the buyer saw the pics on line and failed to do his due dilegence as Mr Potatohead's sleuthing confirms. What is it they say, "Caveat emptor?"
