Thanks all. Yes this about the 1984 Targa I recently purchased on EBAY. I broke all the rules and bought over the internet without a PPI. I have purchased several vehicles and motorcycles over from EBAY over the years with extremely good luck and was lured into a false sense of security.

Basically it is a sound car that I am going to enjoy owning down the road, but it was advertised with good electrical and good engine, no compression leak. $9000 later I will soon have the car they advertised. Broken engine studs, several damaged rockers, left cam shaft, clutch, and a very thorough rewiring effort under way now.

I am still pondering my legal recourse (if any) so i will refrain from naming the seller, but they do a lot of business over the internet and I will certainly name names later unless the situation changes.

Thanks to all for everything I have learned so far, wish I knew you a little earlier.
