The current seller said he had a 350 crate put in with 450hp. The prior owner said no way..the HE actually put the crate 350 in and it was just a normal 275hp. The current seller said he had his mechanics put it in (he owns a auto repair business), I talked to his mechanics when he was not in and they said no, they never worked on the car. The prior owner said "you better drive it first" saying that it is not a real tight car. The current seller said it's a REAL Lamborghini body. The prior owner said absolutely not...it's a KIT body and he said that the current seller is lying. I mean the current seller said it is 'flawless and everything works perfectly". He was claiming that he had a buyer who will pay $38K and said i had to match that. Because of his lies I felt couldn't believe anything he said.

What was the fellow deceptive about on the car?  if you don't mind saying.  If you do, could you please pm me the info?

Thanks

Hi Don. Thank you. Yes, I almost bought that car, but I talked to the prior owner (he is STILL named as the owner on the title....from 2 years ago!) and I learned the seller was deceiving me about some major details about the car. He even owes the prior owner money still! Unbelievable people. It really broke my heart at the time. We had talked a few weeks about the deal. I had run myself ragged getting loans and otherwise arranging funds. I had a airline reservation. I cancelled the deal just in time. Really dodged a bullet on that one. Bob

Bob;

I see a Countach 5000s for sale for a while now in the Detroit area.  http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/cto/4703606296.html

It has been there for a bit and I have tried a few times to get the guy to reply but I haven't had any luck so far.  Maybe you can get him to answer.  A bit closer to you than New Zealand..... :)  In you price range as well.  Has a 350 SBC up against a 5 spd in a Fiero chassis.

Cheers
Don

Hi Graeme. Thanks for you interest in helping. It would be more than thrilling (daily!) to have that car. That LP500 shape is the only one I REALLY like...and you don't see many replicas like that. I wonder how involved it would be and what it would cost to have the steering switched to the other side. That would be pretty essential for me.
The very most I can pay would be $38,000...AND of course it would receive infinite love and cherishing :-) Do you think he would take $38,000?
But wow, the shipping cost would be through the roof I imagine.
Best regards, Bob
