Classic Motor Car Company

I bought a Buick from Rudy and had it shipped to Austin TX When I spoke to Rudy I said I'd hire an inspector to come look at the vehicle and he got pkly about exactly who would do the inspecting, claiming "I'm not gonna let (I forget his name) in my god damned shop blah blah blah" Now obviously it raised red flags but I know these old car guys are characters so fine I found someone he agreed to During our conversation he assured me that this car was a "daily driver" and the previous owner drove it every day and it was in perfect driving condition The inspection showed the car to indeed be relatively rust free, straight body etc I sent the funds and the car was shipped off to TX
When the car arrived and I took it out for a drive it had no brakes No Brakes Harrowing to say the least I called Rudy and he was livid and insisted the tow truck driver must have severed the line Fine He told me to contact them for reimbursement on the cost of repair Any need to tell you how that went? So, first day, and off to the shop for brake repair Great Rudy? Largely unconcerned, certainly never followed up Like I said, pkly So, drive for LITERALLY a few days, engine starts knocking and stalling out You have got to be kidding me Into the shopcracked piston Do you know how hard it is to find a piston for a 240CI 'nailhead? Options are limited, so begin the rebuild process of the "daily driver" Rudy sold me Dig into the car and all the original wiring is shot Of course it is, why wouldn't it be? Oh and the drum brakes were also shoton and on and on
So it's now two years later I've literally spend over 4x what I spent initially on the "daily driver" and it's FINALLY drive worthy So when I see his ads on Hemmings from time to time and wish I had further recourse than just Revdex.com to let people know to STAY AWAY from this guy and disregard ANY statement he makes regarding his vehicles
