At Accel Auto Group in Irving, TX: Anyone know anything about these two Camaros? I'm looking for a Gen 1 in very good shape, at a reasonable price. Thanks for any info.

the speedometer doesnt work, ODO doesnt work (called brandon and he said he told me the ODO "READ" 26,000, not was at 26,000")
alternator is bad and no ezternal regulator installed.
battery it came with was completely dead
electrical wiring of the car is a complete mess. no gauges work at all.
oil pan leaks about a quart a week.
carburetor was rebuilt wrong (double gasket, vaccum leak) and i had to replace
master brake cylinder was bad. i drove the car thinking brandon would tell me about brakes not working (HUGE SAFETY ISSUE), crashed the car into a tree infront of my house.
both rear brake cylinders bleeder valves were rusted in a semi-open position
distributor timing was off, wouldnt idle.
no radiator resevoir overflow jug installed.

so this car "just needing paint and bodywork" has cost me a ton of money and its still not even ideling right. contacted brandon 3 times about problems, all which he replied "must have been something you did". called him about sending me money to help repair to his stated condition and he hungup on me 3 times. BUYER BEWARE!!

Thanks for the info. Anyone else, preferably in Texas, know anything about these folks?
