OK, so here's the story, I know this guy, lives in putnam county, NY who bought a total rot box of a gt conv back a few years ago.it belonged to a fireman who had died @ 9/11. purchased from his brother. like i said a real rotted out car, only good for 1 thing, yup you guessed it.
so the car sits in his yard for a year or 2 then it disappears, then a few weeks later the car apears in his yard w/new paint, & body 90% completed. in talking with him he first said, "yeah it was real hard & a lot of work but we retored this beauty back to its former glory" (with a smile on his face) well, in looking the car over a couple times I noticed some red flag items & asked him again about the work & who did it. finaly he told me, he bought a donor car from virginia that had been re-vinned by the state & he swapped the vin, drivetrain & all the GT equipment.
I asked him if he felt that there was anything wrong with that & he said no why should he.
well I have been thinking about it for some time & I decided I feel there is something wrong with it. I know if I were shelling out the money for a gt convertible, i would want the real deal.
any thoughts as to how to get the word out on this car?
By the way, I pulled a marti report on it, very rare, red on red j code w/3 speed. tilt away & console
(don't ask me what I noticed because I do not want to say, if he finds out what is wrong, he will fix it.)
