I could be mistaken, but I believe that this SAME seller has another dubious car listed for sale and at first, the replacement engine was NOT disclosed, but WAS discovered by knowledgeable members of this site.

Thanks folks. I always gave Jack the benefit of the doubt. I thought ok the car doesn't run and I can see some rust right off the bat but maybe he is right when he tells me that is no big deal, but then we found more significant issues. So I posted my tale of woe over on the Pelican Board and they suggested I post here as well. To be frank I wasn't sure what to expect from the community. I didn't know if you guys were going to raise up in his defense and say that car sounds fine and the issues are normal for a $34,500 car. Jack obviously has quite a few cars and talks as if he is a respected member but on neither board has anyone said one nice thing about him.Quote:

This guy is sounding more and more like he is a good friend of the infamous Dr. Mengele in Healdsburg California.

Will someone that knows who this Jack guy is please do the rest of us a favor and post the name he uses on this board as well as the name he uses on Pelican? I don't want to diss the wrong person but want to know for certain who this apparently unscrupulous character is.
I imagine others will appreciate someone clearly identifying who this person is.
Thanks.
It is mycarrera2.7rs on both boards.
Don't forget these alias'

You also have to consider what it would cost to put MFI back to get those prices. And you could get some good money for the carbs if they are in decent rebuildable shape
This guy came on Pelican a few years back and put up a weird post about buying 10-20 longhoods to provide for his kids' futures. He subsequently flipped 30 or more longhoods under a couple aliases. Mostly cosmetic minimalist makeovers, as I understand it. There are a handful of high volume flippers out there, and a couple of them 'push the envelope' in terms of mark-up.Quote:

My personal (un) favorite is Unclezak up in Eugene (Bruce Mosieur), He has had five aliases on eBay, but is currently off the radar -- probably for repeatedly selling stolen cars. The one I bought from him cost me a lot to make right -- I had to buy the title from the owner. Unclezak told me he felt it was my fault for trusting him (seriously)!Quote:

Lots on both of these guys on Pelican and via Google searches.
