1987 930 TN PPI report - Be warned

Flipper representing himself as private party two owner car for sale.

My recent story.

After a long discussion with the seller I flew from LA to Chattanooga to meet the owner and pick up the PPI and inspect the car myself.

David Bishop a Pelican member represented the car as original, including paint accept radio and exhaust.

1. After a close inspection it was clear the car had been painted on 3-4 corners.
2. David had removed the 9 inch Fuchs standard from the factory in 87 and added 8s. Forgot to mention this. Oh, he had the 9 in his garage for another car project.
3. The two owner CA was actually from CO (had one service in CA) and had spent 20 plus years in TN.
4. David wasnt the second owner as advertised he bought the car as a flipper and was fixing it up to sell it. David is the 3rd owner. Forgot to mention this.
5. one plus inch dash crack unrepairable.

The worst news is after the undisclosed paint story I asked for my 500.00 deposit back. He agreed and first said he mailed a check to me. A week later I hadnt received it so i asked again. This time David Bishop said he mailed cash and I should have it any day now.

Well, I received an empty envelope, no return address from Chattanooga.

Buyers beware of David Bishop.
