Re: Rebody
Sorry for the delay, I read Jason's post earlier but had a family event, which is now over.
I have been part of the Yenko club and this website for more than 13 years. We do strive for honesty and integrity as well as to treat all customers in a fair and respectful manor and just the same way we/I would want to be treated under similar circumstances.
This situation went from campfire kumbaya to defcon III in less than 24 hours.
Some of the info provided is accurate, some is not and some is still unknown at this point.
Up until this past Friday afternoon, I had thought we were on the same page.
"Nickey" did act as agent broker for the 1968 Camaro Jason purchased.
There is a contract which governs the transaction as well as provides a remedy for potential disputes.
There are, multiple, emails, facebook messages, PMs, texts and phone conversations regarding this issue and most all point towards acceptance and resolution until Jason abruptly changed his mind. I have always intended to try and resolve the issue and per his agreement I thought we had.
It turns out that he wants to go to GoodGuys and buy another car, so he made some demands which IMO are not reasonable and he furthermore threatened to tarnish our good name and reputation if I did not meet those demands, immediately.
He informed me that he had legal representation as well as other "experts" and that if I did not meet his demands that he would start a smear campaign on the Internet to includeYenko.net. I advised that I take all threats about our business and reputation seriously and that it was better to work it out between us, but he chose to end the conversation/communication.
We would never knowingly sell anyone a bad car or a rebody without full disclosure. Whether a $32,000.00 or a $320,000.00 car.
We always recommend an independent inspection and opinion other than our own.
I am sorry that this has happened but we did not do anything illegal, immoral or unethical. We did not falsely advertise or miss-represent the car. I as well as the consignor knew nothing about the car being rebodied.
Jason even agreed that had he known up front he would have still purchased the car and had no issues because it was not a numbers matching car.
This is a complicated situation as, there is a lien holder and a title to be purified. The fact that there are two vins on the car subjects it to an inspection by the Secretary of State police. Jason has driven and used and modified the car for a year/season.
Just as a point of info, Jason did contact Bob Trez, one of the prior owners, long before this became an issue who did inform him that he "believed" the car had been rebodied during the restoration. It would have been appropriate to have this info sooner rather than later.
