I talked to them about a year to a year and a half ago about an early car. I didn't buy one from them. The guy I delt with (Jim, I believe) would tell me things about the year / model that I knew were wrong. I'd politely tell him that I thought he was incorrect, but he tried to make me feel like I didn't know anything about these cars and that he did. I also heard others bad mouthing them on the forum about that time. So, I decided that it wasn't worth it to deal with born2bfast. I'm sure you'll form your own opinion in short order. Best wishes on your early car search.

I previously had a 356 and subscribed to the 356registry.org email list, born2bfast had a horrible rep with those guys, he also had pretty substantial negative feedback on his ebay account. His prices seem kinda steep anyway.

Judging by the name I would have guessed that they specialized in Hondas and Toyotas - not that there's anything wrong with that.
