To start, I don't usually bother with this sort of thing, but in this case I have to make an exception.
I purchased a "Rotisserie restored, everything is new" (their words, not mine), 68 camaro from this company and what I received was FAR from a car that needs nothing.
It looks great in the pictures and quite frankly in the driveway as long as you don't try to drive it. I basically spent a ton on a project car, the more I look, the more I find.
Let see..
Motor blows oil out the top and bottom end, pools in the intake manifold on both sides and under the car.
Radiator blows coolant.
Rust was prevelant on the left front side of the car from the radiator leak.
Paint in engine compartment and under hood is a mess due to the radiator leak
The battery tray was rusted pretty badly from the battery leaking battery acid. Turns out to be the charging system was a mess overheating the battery.
Tranny leaks from the pan (gasket shot), speedometer cable and tail housing gasket.
Rear tire had deep cuts in several places which they tried to blame on the shipper, until I blew up a picture on their web site which clearly showed it.
First time I drove the car to get registered, it would not crank, totally dead when I tried to leave. This lead me to look into the charging system, etc. Had to replace the battery, both battery cables and correct all the grounding issues
High beems don't work, short out the system when you try to use them
Cig lighter does not work (and rusted internally)
Brakes, how shall I say it, can't stop the car from anything except a flat surface.
Steering box is shot causing the car to wander all over the road.
The passager side window would not crank up past 3/4 way, found the bolts fell out.
Chip in paint in the nose section (which was badly touched up)
Gas cap missing gasket, causing the cap to fall off when you drive it.
Trunk lid will not stay up at all, incorrect spring for application
Left Turn signal cam broken
Radio antenna not installed, sitting in back seat
Headers are rusted.
Holley carb installed is actually an off road carb, incorrect for application
I could go on, but I'll stop here
Some points from their advertisement....
"Show Quality Paint".... not with the chip in the nose and the engine compartment
"Everything is NEW".... guess not.
"Fit and finish is second to none and there is not enough adjectives to describe this car".. (I have a few adjectives)
"Drives like no other"..... Well I guess I can't argue with that one
"Rotisserie restoration".... More like an unfinished project
I'm looking at a ton of cash just to get this car drive-able, period. Best part, when I brought this to their attention, they offered.. Ready for this. To pay for a new rear tire.
