Bruce Willis suing musclecar dealer in NJ

[nuch_ss396]

"... Its bad that crooks rip us off but do a little reseach before writing the check.. AND IF YOU WANT TO INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE PURCHASE AND THEY DONT LET YOU AND YOU STILL WRITE THE CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAD IT COMING BECAUSE YOUR A MORON."


I guess this is the point I was trying to get across.

If he can prove he had 'reason' to trust the seller's word and for that reason did not insist on inspecting the car the seller is clearly at fault. I trusted a very reputable car/engine builder to the tune of $80,000+. That does not convey to him the right to break the law. Breech of contract, theft, fraud etc. is not protected by the fact that the buyer may be less informed than the seller. I'll do my part to rid our hobby of one con artist and I hope Willis does the same.

I just think people have to own up to some of theyre own faults before this country really goes to heck.. AGAIN I CANT STAND CROOKS BUT THIS ALL FALLS BACK TO DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH.. BTC doesnt have a good rep anywhere so how could he have reason to trust the seller.

I guess its hard for me to understand especially with the coin Willis has.. I wouldnt have the nerve to complain if I didnt do my part on the inspection end.

I'll do my part also to rid the hobby of these a** holes but it seems it would being a never ending battle so it all goes back to buying from someone you know and trust or doing and inspection.

Where ever there is a quick easy dollar the cock roachs will soon follow.. and right now the classic car market and parts market is full of them.

2 butt splices (in different colors no less) within a foot of each other?? Museum quality my ***. Plug wires aren't separated, and the windshield washer hoses and/or weatherstrip get squashed every time you close the hood.

After looking at their project cars - LINK - I'd have to agree.

Good people go bad. Fraud is fraud and wrong is wrong regardless of pretense.

Some of you guys are getting dealers mixed up. Future Classics is in Lakewood, NJ on Rt 88. Black Tie is in Stratford NJ, which is an hour and a half away.

I was just curious if they were same, since Future Classics has changed it's name a few times.

John Bertino is a sheister, I've seen many cars pieced together in his shop and sold for major money. Rumor has it that he and his brother put a bank out of business on a real estate deal gone bad. The man is scum. He is handicapped and I'm pretty sure he works that to his full advantage. I used to work next door to his current location and he "appears" to have really nice cars. Most are pieces of crap with nice paint. This is all my opinion, after dealing with him many years ago I would not give him the time of day.

no. no relation. Black tie has to be the absolute worst classic car dealer in the US. ALL their cars are 100% junk.. I have been there and could not believe their tactacs. I went to look at a Buick GNX when in fact it was a GN in horrible condition. When I told em it was not an X, he agreed. Said he made a mistake. what?
all their cars on the lot have flat tires and rust and weeds grownin up around em.. Horrible liers.. Cars they they ask 10's of thousands are in reality worth $1500..

Was this dealer previously known as Golden classic or something like that?

quote from the details on a '66 from their site-
"The UNUSUAL pedigree in this Chevelle is the fact that it was a Bennett Chevrolet race car like(The "YENKO" of the east coast)" huh??
