It's a shame that a man's word is worthless these days! I have personally purchased a Nova and a dragster on Ebay and a Camaro on RJ, spoke with the sellers numerous times and have had no problems at all, I guess I 've been lucky because every deal came off clean and everyone went away happy. I did buy a cheap 408 and did not even uncrate it for 6 months and it was a pile of junk ( cracked aluminum heads, MUD in the pan ect) but I should have checked it out right away, this was my learning experience.
