David Wynne Camaro Dave worst financial transaction for anything, in my entire life Firestone Colorado
I brought my '67 to Dave b/c the engine was overheating and I wanted A/C added to it. He told me it would cost $3,000 and take 6 weeks to fix. I paid him all $3,000 up front b/c he was recommended by someone I trusted. He had my car for NINE AND A HALF MONTHS, during which time he wouldn't return my calls. He was only there about 4 times during the 10 times I drove there to talk to him during business hours, and each time he said it would only be "a couple more weeks." T...he guy who recommended him thought he might be trying to scam me for a salvage title, and told me to "get the sheriff and go back and get your car." Finally, after I scolded his wife one time when he wasn't there again, he texted me to come get the car, which he said "runs great, but doesn't have A/C." I picked-up the car and the engine died 10 minutes after I left. Turns out he replaced the valve springs with springs that were too strong, causing the cam to grind away the lifters when it turned, infusing the engine oil with metal dust, and RUINING the engine. To be fair, Dave did offer me a used '77 350 to replace the custom built 2003 350 that he ruined- an offer I rejected outright. I spent money on a lawyer to get my money back, after I saved up to get a new engine, which was a stupid move on my part, b/c by the time our court date was set, I only had a week or so before the statute of limitations would expire. I ended up breaking my foot skiing the day before our court date; so after spending money on repairs that weren't done right at all, a lawyer to talk with him, and a process server to serve him papers, I ended-up not even being able to go to my own d**n trial. Worst financial transaction for anything in my entire life.
