Dave, I don't know if this went thru so I'll say it again, he never said a name, he just said a big collector, then right after that he asked for More Money.. I APPRECIATE your HONESTY!! Thanks, Mark

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

Mark...I had something similar happen to me. Cliff Lipke in Colorado Ripped me off on a Pace car he was supposedly Restoring for me. I ended up hiring a Private Detective to go find my car. Wasted about 11K getting it back...Long Story... I can put you in touch with the Detective if you like. I feel for you . I lost alot of sleep over that and still get very angry thinking about it. I remember having Dinner with he and his Wife and they both assure me there was only about 40 hours worth of work left to do. Ended up about 70K in the car and sold it as a car that needed finishing for 40K and took 2 cars in trade on it. A Crook is a Crook, hopefully your Guy is just a Flake. I would call a PI or Attorney soon. I tried to call the Police but they said it was a Civil Case. Or maybe Rich P and Friends can go see him. Don't let any more time pass.

Mark, I was not kidding around in my earlier post, I am getting on to being an old guy now, but I had a colorful younger life, lets just say I am associated with a MC club that has residence in Florida, just say the word and I am quite sure that we could legally and quickly get your money back, wont cost you much over expenses, no fee unless collection is made. I really feel for you as I have been ripped off before, it is not just the money, that comes and goes, the greatest loss is one more notch in the loss of faith in humanity. This jerks actions towards you will affect your trust and perspective on other people and other business transactions the rest of your life. It has to come full circle and be corrected or many people will suffer over the actions of one. If I can be of any assistance in any way send me a PM, if this guy is allowed to pull this off he will no doubt do it again to someone else, over and over again until he is stopped. On a legal note, which I happen to know something about for reasons that are not important right now, your transaction took place across state lines, no doubt through the mail or through federally insured financial institution, therefore his fraud becomes a federal crime, civil and criminal. If you used the mail it is automatically mail fraud, and all FDIC financial institutions(in the case of wire transfer of funds)come under federal jurisdiction. You do have options here to stop this fool, as I said, if I can be of any assistance feel free to contact me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I have lots of 'Interesting" storys about this clown. He has called me numerous times lying to us. What is way too cool is he does not remember our faces as he tells us in person about his plans. A total scam. I have seen him lie to some of the best people in the hobby...BKH

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

Hi Mark,,,I met you at Vettefest two weeks ago.This is not good to hear.I heard through the grapevine as well there was a Yenko Chevelle for sale in Titusville Fla.I was making some more inquiries about it,and have still heard nothing back.Now I read your story and it fits the description.There better be a good resolution to this.This is not good ethics on James Berry's part.I believe he is a member here as well and goes by James Berry. [email protected]Do we have any members around TitusVille Fla.? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

Rick Fagan owner CLASSIC & MUSCLECAR SUPER STORES no longer employs James Berry.He worked there for a few days hacked a couple cars and left with some of Ricks good camaro/chevelle parts.Rick from the Melbourne area has asked me to relay this message.

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

why do these people exist? this is an enjoyable hobby with some mighty nice people. why do they try to muddy the water, to take away from such a wonderful hobby! i heard the whole story from mark at vettefest. did he cash the check? if so , /////////////, what goes around comes around.

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

mark, i am very sorry this has happened, your misfortune made me wind up with chucks chevelle. if i could wind the clock back, this chevelle would be yours, instead of mine. you are to good for this hobby for this to happen to. if i ever sell mine you are on top of the list! i love that car!

Re: RE: BEWARE!!!!
 

Just for the record, I looked at this car two times a couple of years ago. From the pics he sent me he did not restore it back to the way it was originally. This car should have a vinyl roof and black cloth bench seat interior. It has an extra mirror (passenger side)427 emblems are mounted incorrectly and it sits to high. When I looked at it the second time, my body man came along and recomended that due the deteriorated condition that it should be rebodied. ( worse condition than the green Yenko in Wisconsin that sits outside all year long!) I have a tracing of the cowl tag, does anyone have the current cowl tag data that we can compare? As shady as this fellow is he may have tampered with the information.
