He posted in our garage sale a while back that he had a 1999 Camaro SS LS1 with 4L6OE tranny for sale. I wound up purchasing the 85 El co, the LS1 and tranny, as well as an additional Monte Carlo SS interior.

I posted a while back that the car was delivered, just to call my uncle and find out the car never made it. I called him and he delayed me a week... till the Monday that just passed and now he is nowhere to be found. Have sent email, many calls, and text messages.

I trust no one, so I paid with a credit card through paypal. (I even sent an extra 50 dollars to cover the fees for a sense of security.)

BOY AM I GLAD I DID THAT! So I called my credit card company today and told them to issue back my money and investigate the situation... but I would REALLY like to get the car if it does exist. If anyone knows him or of him, let me know whats up?

Did you get the car or hear from him yet? These are the incidents that make me weary of buying things off the internet.

Nope... that man straight up disappeared! Sad to see those kinds of people on this site, but with such a low number of posts, you kind of had to suspect it may not be as good as it seems.

I listened to a voicemail from him from about a month ago and it reminded me how he sounded like such a good guy. Come delivery time he vanished. Not to return phone calls, text messages, emails, etc.

Filed a dispute with my credit card company and they issued the money back immediately! I don't care if they want to sell me a bentley for $2000... if they won't hand deliver for cash or accept a credit card, im just not interested. I don't understand how or why people send out checks, money orders, etc.
