    ..I had a ppi done on this car a few weeks ago by Lakeforest.
    Originally I thought just silly things I could do myself to bring it up to snuff.
    Eh...compression results were:

    10 bar
    9 bar
    10 bar
    9.5 bar
    9.5 bar
    10 bar
    10 bar
    10 bar

    Only after I really started doing some research did I find that it was owned by an
    out of business car rental company close to Ft Worth Texas.

    The leather is really dried up, center console is like glue, steering wheel yellow logo
    is faded to almost white, front passenger wheel well has been rubbed and paint broken,
    tech noted a broken or missing bar in the convertable top, BIG tear in the canvas,
    tires are almost dry rotted (I def would not drive on them), shift knob is peeling, and some dash leather shrinkage...

    Anyone who buys the car will drop 4k in cosmetics... This does not include the service which needs done!!

    I've said my piece :)

    I like how they buried the BIG tears in the roof in the fine prints on the ebay description. If this is the same car, it's been on ebay for a few times lately. No real winners above the reserve.

    Hmmm,

    I bought a car from them a few years back. Flew down to look at it; they'd failed to disclose a few things. Bought it anyways but to get Title we ALL had to travel over to the big auto auction place and present my cashiers check before they would hand it over.

    Although I got the driver car I was looking for, I don't think I'd consider them again.
