cobradave everything junk, he scammed me out of my car
 
I traded a good car see ad #1426653 for his blower motor, his ad said NEW only 6 shake down passes, when I got this motor home the crank is cracked, bearings are turned rods are streached and the valves are bent, this motor was a complete pile of junk, the only good thing was the block, but it still needed to be line honed, this guy is not honest at all everything he sayes is a lie, he will not trade me back or reembruse me and is tring to sell the car quickly on here

The motor had six pass,s on It and never said it was ran I tried to wor with you but you made up some bullshit fake law officer and tried to steal the car with my motor in it and keep the one that you traded for so you are the lier! I will see you in court ! See you soon!State police will be contacting you!

Harbone 01-13-2009 11:23 AM

oops!!! :?
looks like thre may be just a little more to the story...

cobradave 01-13-2009 11:24 AM

By the way the motor ran 7.63@175 to the 1/8 with a 1.09 60 ft shut off!
I asked him if he would like me to take the rockers off for the winter and he said no thats ok the motor ran when I sold don,t know what you did when you got it home!
And the only risen Iam selling the camaro is to pay $500,000 in doctor bills from my twin girl,s that where born 3 months early.
My motor guy was going to fix it.Until some guy called me and said he was doing a investagtion in to this trade and asked me to give the car to him to worked out!
He stop calling when i got the state police involved.Never heard from any one again! So Ian Don.t make up lies about someone If it is not true!
If you come to KY we can work this out after you go to jail for impersinating an Officer of the Law!!

CobraDave- I am trying to follow the thread but am having trouble. When you get a minute and are a bit calmer, could you lay out the whole deal in detail so we know whats going on?

Hope your little girls are doing well.

Hey you guys I had a blowen altered and sold the motor to a guy out of Canada.He called me and asked me if I would trade for his car with out motor and some cash.We had talked a few times and then he drove to KY and looked at my motor we talked for a while and I told him we ran the motor two weeks before I sold it to him. It ran some 1.09 60 foots and we put it away.My driver said that oil pressure was good when he clicked off! Any ways he gets to Canada and calls me and says it was blowen up.I said ther is know way with 6 pass on it and after 3 pass I checked the bearrings and they looked good. So he tells me he has a bill to fix it $4700 to fix it and i had just spent $10,000 on it 1 month before.any ways I said let me talk to my guy.Then I get a call from some guy that said he was with some internet task force and wanted to pick the car to check for a vin#. so i greed to let them pick up. The next day this guy called and had been talking to someone from Ky state police and it started to get fishey so I called the state police and they said the could inspect the car.They told me not letany one take the car because they thougt it was a scam ! I called this guy and told him he could not pick up the car and he got pissed off and hung up.that was the last i herd from this guy in canada until now!

Scorpion1110 01-13-2009 01:59 PM

Is this right?
 
CobraDave- Let me see if I understand,

You traded the motor out of your Blown altered to a person in Canada for his car and some cash.

You got car plus cash and he got your motor?

He called you and said the motor was bad and needed $4700 to fix.

You had just put $10k into it.

You then got a call that someone from an Internet Task force (IC3 ?) wanted to check the VIN of the car you got from the guy in Canada.

Now who was talking to the KY state police initially?

Did the "Internet Task Force Guy" want to take the car you got from the guy in Canada?

It almost sounds like the person who got your motor was trying to repo the car to pay for what he feels he is out on the motor. (If there is no lein or financing involved, that would seem like auto theft to me)

Cobra Dave is this right? or please correct me.

Thanks, Scorp

cobradave 01-13-2009 02:03 PM

That is what I said thanks Dave And my girls are doing good!

brownz281 01-13-2009 06:31 PM

the real story is this
 
motor was stated all new partsin race junk ad as stated above, the parts where junk, the cracked crank spun mains and streched rod where the first sign, I call him within 48 hrs after the deal, I drove 1800 miles to do this deal, and gave him 3500 cash, a new reid super glide and a complete roller less only motor and converter and a bird catcher on a tunnel ram intake and all the lines and nozzles after checking the motor and finding out it was all junk, I called dave and he stated he had no money , he was broke his house burned down, he wrecked the car, and various other excueses, he is a lier, the guy that came to see you was an investigator from national recovery services, I in no way impresonated a law officer, to rectify this deal all I asked for was half of the repair bill which I told dave was 4700, all I asked for was 2000.00 back.he can say what he wants and you guys can think what you want but all I know is he is tring hard to dump the car and I'm left with an motor that is blown up If dave feels he an honest person he would have made this right,\.. ask him for the real story with no B.S. nad you would see who got the short end of the deal

brownz281 01-13-2009 06:44 PM

trade
 
I was wiling to drive back down and trade him back but he did not want to do that he told me that he would make it right and never did, all I ever wanted was to make this a fair deal., I emailed pics to him of all the junked parts he siad he could not understand how this could be,he told me he had no money,but I had just given hin 3500 two days before that, Dave can make this right if he was honest, the title to the car is still in my name and he has no bill of sale , however I have a bill of sale for the motor I am not tring to steal this car back I am not a thief I have sold lots of other stuff and I don't BS people when selling stuff what I say it is, is what it is.

Scooterz 01-13-2009 08:53 PM

Brownz:

I have read everything here.

I have one question: why do you still have the title & there was no bill of sale when this transaction was complete?

I am not taking sides here. I think this story is missing some things. One thing I know is that if I was trying to re-po or recover my car after a bad deal, I would not "impersonate an officer" when I still retain the title & have no bill of sale... why risk it when you have the strongest automotive document to prove you still own it???? If you were as malicious as the Cobra claims, you could have reported it stolen (again, no proof of a deal when no title/bill of sale). Having said this, there are some missing things about this deal.

Cobra: 1 pass or 600 passes, a motor can start to fly apart. At the same time, I would be no more surprised to hear it is shot & you were unaware of all of the damage without a prior complete teardown. Let me ask you this: assuming the motor is fine as you say it should be, what is Brownz's motivation to come on here & state all of this??? Perhaps I am not understanding everything (it would not be the first time). Anyways, not taking sides, & I am neutral right now. Glad the kids are ok.

Good luck & I hope you both can come to terms & respect each others concerns. Pray about it.... Rigsby

brownz281 01-14-2009 01:08 AM

if you read the post I put on here I IN NO WAY IMPRESONATED AN OFFICER!!!.

cobradave 01-14-2009 03:29 AM

This is the last time Iam going to say any thing on here!

Iam not saying the motor may have been hurt and my motor guy would have fixed.But when some one trys to take there trade back after I put a 555bbc in it. does not sound to fare to me!

1 more thing and Iam done tell we go to court! I traded my 6.0 certed altered for a 555 bbc that was fresh. put in the car went to the track and broke a lifter bar it broke the block cam and a valve, I did not call the guy up that I traded and tell him to pay for it or i want my car back!
I am going to let this go before I do or say something that could hurt someone. Ian I tried to work with you and you tried to steal the car back!
Let this go on here before it gets any worse!Dave!

thejdge 01-14-2009 08:04 AM

Let me add my .02.

Buyer
First, If you are buying a motor that nice, that cost that much money, take the time to put it on a stand. Pull it apart, and inspect it.

Seller
Second, MOTORS TEAR UP. Before you sold it, you should have inspected it so you knew what you were selling.

End of story, you both should have inspected it!!!

PS was the car you got in trade everything he said it was?

cobradave 01-14-2009 08:56 AM

well it was a nice as he said!If you want to race nascar!

mopar1968 01-14-2009 04:05 PM

:? :? Oh is this thread still going :?: Damn fell asleep again :shock:

Scooterz 01-14-2009 07:57 PM

Brownz:

Think about what I said again... remember e-mails have no tone. My point is, WHY would a guy impersonate an officer when he retains the title & there was no bill of sale... as I was defending you some you nit-wit!! Calm down some... I am trying to be objective.

Try to be gentlemen... be civil & work it out... we are all on the same team here.
