Re: My experience with Desert Valley Auto - NOT good
Well that sucks in my book!
 I'd say that qualifies for a royal "bait & switch". Let us know how this whole thing turns out...I'd be making that call to your lawyer about now.

Re: My experience with Desert Valley Auto - NOT good
To all reading, Eric Jackson is ONE of the Good Guys in the restoration hobby. He is not just another carburetor guy , he is a darn GOOD honest man, and I can attest to his workmanship.
I hate to see any friend get ripped off. I hope anyone here with any past or future dealings with DESERT VALLEY, has the courage to challenge these people, as to what theyve done to ONE of our own...... Eric, please keep us posted with has this continues, to unfold. Your Seattle friend, Chuck Sharin

Re: My experience with Desert Valley Auto - NOT good
Chuck;
Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate the kind words more than you could know. I bust my *** to try to give people the best deal and the best service possible, and I just can't comprehend how some people can do the things they do business-wise. Screwey thing is, I even told them up-front that if this transaction went smoothly that I was poised to buy 1 or possibly 2 other cars from them in the very near future. That's obviously not gonna happen now.  re: the wheels... The original pics I saved from their website showed the mis-matched slots and the 1 hurricane wheel. The slots are 14", and the hurricane is a 15". Go figure. Everything else on the car is a hodge-podge (sp?), the wheels might as well be too.

Re: My experience with Desert Valley Auto - NOT good
Funny that the previous owner, whom they claim pulled the big block out swapped the air cleaner assembly and filter to them to put on. They also switched the wheels also. Personally, I like the slots better than the Dukes of Hazzard look.

Re: My experience with Desert Valley Auto - NOT good
Yeah I noticed the wheels too but I thought maybe they were just mis-matched from side to side.
I was trying to see what else was different...
