I bought a 64 Impala and was told the car had recently been rebuilt and had no major issues. The paint was supposedly in good shape as it was recently done but needed a touch up due to being scratched in a few spots during the reassembly process. They said the motor was also recently rebuilt and ran great. I wish I had flown out to see this car instead of trusting ****, and his sleezy used car salesman tactics.I received the car, and it was nothing like what they sold me. Getting it off the trailer I immediately see these small scratches they mentioned were actually full-blown paint chips and were on every single panel of this car. No matter how good a painter is, this was not an easy fix. In fact, the only way to fix this was a complete paintjob. It was also obvious they painted this car without removing the trim because all trim pieces have paint on them. Then I noticed something was off with the engine. At the time I was hoping maybe just a timing issue. I drove it down the street and realized there was a major problem with the motor. It was clattering so loud I caught it on video. My first thought was lifters. I had it towed to a mechanic the next day and they found a broken push rod and a scarred cam shaft. After looking under the valve covers and intake it was very clear this motor had been rebuilt but it wasn't anywhere near recently as they had claimed. I talked to **** about what was found, and he apologized and promised me I had nothing to worry about and that Route 65 would without a doubt make it right. 12k/6 months later I finally get to drive my car more than a city block for the first time. It was now ************* all the while I'm waiting to hear from Route ***************************************** Finally, **** says he is not covering the cost of repairs, not even a portion of it. He puts the blame on me and the transport company. It wasn't even street legal when I received it. No parking brake, no horn, no wipers, didn't even have the basics.
