I did not buy the car from him. When an individual initially tells you "we checked engine, transmission and rear numbers and they all match" then when told that I will be checking numbers and that he really better not be wasting each other's time, that's when it changed and became "I was told it was all numbers matching". That's when I bolted from the deal, I can't deal with someone who is going to blatantly lie to try and make a deal. I suggest everyone use caution when dealing with him.

I looked into purchasing his Falcon too, but the description in the ad and his explanations did not match the pictures and video in the same ad! For instance,
1. the ad states "all new chrome,glass,and rubbers throughout" but, the video shows the vent rubbers shriveled and sun beaten.
2. The tach (in the video)clearly shows the car idling between 1400 and 1600 RPM (with a slight surge)even after snapping the throttle multiple times and when asked about it he said "maybe it was cold" but later states the carbs have the chokes milled off.
3. The ad states "Lazer Straight Body" but when questioned about any imperfections, he admits it has "a little" bubbling at the bottom of the back glass"
4. Said all the panels/hood/trunk and doors align up perfectly yet the video shows the drivers door (fully closed)and the bottom edge at the rear sticking out from the quarter panel.
I'm not saying he's a lair or anything like that because some people tend to truly believe their car is "all that." I'm just saying I wouldn't buy a car from the Gent unless I personally inspected it first.

If you read his ads every one says "all new glass, felts and rubbers" even though they don't. And yes even though every one of his ads say "paint buffed to mirror finish" some of his cars do have "bubbling" in the paint. All they do is detail them and flip them. I wouldn't trust anything said in his ads or anything he says. Buyers or traders beware!!!

Buy or trade with streetrodder37 and kodiakid at your own risk. Make sure you do your homework and inspect carefully and compare his elaborate descriptions to make sure you're getting what he claims. Most times you aren't! You've been warned! Ted
