Well I have spoke to several individuals who had hands on this car from inception to seller and it's been a very baffeling experience. Spoke to original builder of this car, builder of the original # matching motor, Jared who made some changes to the car and last the seller. The story has many twists and turns with some questions still unanswered and some just not making sense. What I have found out is that it is # matching block but it is toast due to the rear main and crank issue it REQUIRES a rebuild. While looking car over more after returning from getting fuel the flexplate is chewing it way through the trans which now requires a rebuild along with the new motor. Also found the steering gear leaking, needs replacement. To add more to the wound a door hinge bushing let go while opening door only to chip the door paint pretty bad. So as much as you don't like the calling someone one out it is what it is and they are what they are. This is not just a set of bad circumstances I purchased a car that had known issues. Ive had this car to 3 different shops that concur the same thing. There is no way these issues were unknown by the seller I've only had the car 3 weeks or so. Weve only driven this nightmare 4 times before it began to fall apart. What my wife and I paid for this car this car should not have us going through what we are after 4 rides with last one now having the flexplate chewing its way out. We are not going to put any more $ into this nightmare. My wife and I are going to figure out what were going to do with what's left of our bucket list nightmare. This is a world we no longer want to be part of and Scott Borlace is what he is.

After the $$ paid we expected to do some mechanical but more cosmetic. Now it's a motor due to seller not disclosing the engine issues. So now we need to spend $$ when this was suppose to be our bucket list cruiser. Learned no matter where I'm m looking beware of scammers.

I'm not sure how to approach things? Individual was a member here and we still got stuck with major problem (toasted motor). So for those of you who may know or chatted with Scott Borlace know he's a scammer. Please forgive the anger and frustration but this car was suppose to be our bucket list cruiser(for what we paid)but we were sold an anchor. My wife is devastated which makes it very difficult to stay calm. I'll keep you all posted on our decision. Sorry needed to vent a little on a guy who was a member here. Thanks Brant & Donna

Well guys got some bad news today that the motors shot. It's not numbers matching was told its a truck block. With that said the wife and I are considering options to either rebuild (if salvageable) put in crate motor or the direction were leaning right now which is to sell. I'll keep you all posted if anyone might be interested if we choose to end this sooner than later. Not even sure I added this to my thread correctly don't do much forum posting Thanks Brant K
