Default Rebody

SYC Community,

I purchased a 1968 Z/28 from Stefano Bimbi @ Nickey Registry on July 16th 2014. It was advertised here as a real car but without the original engine and transmission. (Link Below) I paid $32,000 for the car and took delivery in early August 2014.

I had the car at a reputable shop in May of 2015 for some work and it was discovered that the sub-frame had extensive rust damage but the body was in stellar condition. The shop called to tell me that this is usually the sign of a rebody. The shop confirmed threw the hidden VIN that the car is in fact a rebody. This was NOT disclosed at the time of the purchase.

At the MCACN show November 2014, I was able to meet the previous owner of the car and I got a bunch of paperwork that went along with the car. I went back through all the documents and sure enough the shop that performed the restoration performed a rebody. In fact, I have a receipt to prove this.

Two weeks ago, I contacted Stefano and made him aware of the situation. He offered to take the car back and resell it with proper rebody disclosure. No questions asked.

He has since changed his mind and told me that he would be glad to help <span style="text-decoration: underline">ME</span> sell the car and I would have to pay to get the car back to Chicago. He informed me that he and previous owner have no liability in the situation.

I was under the impression that anything posted here for sale would have to be backed up by the seller?

I have all documents to prove my situation.

All opinions gratefully accepted.
