Got car around 4:00 yesterday Dirty, grease all over it, battery dead, wires to the switch to release the trunk were cut. 90 miles on car since loaded in Cal. Not happy!!! Got trunk open. Charged bat for a hour still wouldn't turn over. Pulled bat bought new one, car started fine. Runs like a Swiss watch. Wife and I drove all over for three hours last night dropped her off went to buddy's garage drank beer until midnight, drove home sh#t faced. Too sick to reply until now!!! Thanks Guys for all your help. Kim

Now are you going to call your lawyers??? To protect yourself I would be doing that now. Why do you ask? Because you dont know what went on during those 90 miles. Hypothetically speaking, what if the driver used it to rob a 7-11, kidnap the storeclerk, and dumped the body somewhere and he had trouble getting it out of the trunk, thats why the wires were cut? (I know I'm overreacting, but I'm a lawyer so humor me). They owe you big time for the damages they caused and the mileage on the car.

In my paranioc rant I forgot to mention: what about the yet-to-be-discovered internal engine damage you now have from their 90 mile road trip?

I know, I'm a real buzz-kill, but we all have to excel at something!

Kim,

All ribbing aside, were all glad the car finally got to you. Do what you have to and enjoy the car. Neat piece of history.

Hey Kim, Congrats, very cool car
Go after these jerks, When they did the same to a 40 Ford coupe I bought I made them pay dearly....I cant imagine those 90 miles were put on very diligently, thats alot of miles to add to a car, picturing the Ferris Buehler scene with the 2 garage jockeys, You would have a field day in court, there is no way in hell they could justify the mileage, Go for Punitive damages and send a message to all the other jerks who feel they can go joy riding at someone elses expense, 2 grand a mile would send a nice message.. What was the private truckers name and company that das hired?...
