He got off way too easy with a minimal fine. I have NO love loss for people who steal from, cheat or otherwise take advantage of other car hobbyists especially when in the sales and restoration business as it gives us all a black eye. Until these people who steal from customers get put away, greed will continue to drive their lives.

I hate reading about these incidents happening. I agree, got off way to easy.
Maybe throw in an ass beating in there.

Scary part it's getting tougher to trust folks out there.

Not if they have an excellent reputation in what they do like Rick Nelson! Bill

Should've thrown the book at the dirtbag.

I agree with Rick’s last sentence fully. It makes no difference if it’s rare baseball cards, rare Boss 429’s or anything in between that is bringing good money there’s going to be crooks trying to take advantage of the situation.
Buyer beware always!

I'm pretty sure this is some type of typo below.

"As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend Kuyoth pay a fine of $95,000 at sentencing and be barred for three years from advertising or selling classic cars as number-matching vehicles “when in fact they include non-original factory-supplied parts that were installed by the defendant’s mechanics.”

Barred for 3 years from selling number match cars that are indeed not "numbers match"? So after 3 years he can do it again?....lol

Weird. So if HE installs the stuff and not his mechanics its OK? There's more holes in this statement than a piece of swiss cheese.

There is a member on this site that deals in Muscle Car Fraud & no, he is not a sponsor, just a great friend & car guy here in Central PA. You can visit his website for some good reading. Ask me how I know, we met in 2010 when I used his services, when you see him walking around the car shows you would think he is just the average car guy.

Advertised as 'numbers matching' the original decked block was not with the car, sold on eBay 2009. Re-stamp noted in the report, just not in the ad.

Criminals come in many flavors in the restoration world

Here is my old Yenko that had about 8000 miles on it that the owner brought back to Yenko and had a L88 built for it. It also came with what was represented as the orig. #'s engine. After changing hands a couple times someone bothered to look closely at the block and what a surprise, someone had ground down the casting date and made a new one with bondo.

I hate thieves!!!
