Raymond Brian Carmody II is a convicted criminal con man and felon with a long history of cheating people out of their money and sometimes their automobiles. Carmody is currently on probation in the State of Arizona for 3 counts of felony theft from customers from his previous and now defunct company Drake Customs LLC of 3979 London Bridge Road, Lake Havasu City, Arizona 86404, phone number 928-855-3733. His Probation Officer is Terra Sears of the Mohave County Probation Department of 515 E. Beale Street, Kingman, Arizona, 86401, phone number 928-753-0741, extension 5405, tsears@courts.az.gov. His company R3 Performance Products is currently paying Carmody’s $1,300 per month restitution to the State of Arizona to clear his $216,962.60 debt to six Drake Customs victims; Frank Gok, Eddie Diaz, Robert Delord, Brian Schultz, Randy Formby, and Robert Moehring. He plead guilty under Arizona case number S-8015-CR-201200166 on August 9th, 2013. Carmody was given 5 years probation, violated it, and then given another 5 years probation on February 1st, 2019. 

Carmody had been previously sued by customer Luke Walters under Arizona case number CV-201002314 on October 18th, 2010 for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud related to restoration of his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro and damages of $80,689.29. Carmody was also sued by Raymond Alabama under California case number CIVDS1607125 for negligence and fraud related to personal injury and falsifying an automobile title and paperwork on May 6th, 2016. Carmody and R3 Performance Products were sued by customer Joshua Reis of 1611 12th Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90019, phone number 323-893-5480, mail@joshuareis.com, under California case number SCVA2000647 on June 11th, 2020 for poor workmanship, fit and finish issues, and damages of $10,000 to his body shell and parts during “reconditioning” of his 1966 Mustang convertible.

Carmody has operated in the automotive restoration and body shell business under the names Drake Customs LLC, Recon Classic Car Bodies, Recon Performance Products, West Coast Commercial Services and now R3 Performance Products. Ray currently has a side shop at 20211 E. 83rd St. So. in Broken Arrow, OK for off-the-books projects.

According to former R3 General Manager, Bill Schaffhouser, Carmody and R3 were (and still are) under investigation by Christopher Jones of the San Bernadino County Sheriff’s Office, phone number 760-366-4175, cajones@sbcsd.org, related to multiple customer complaints of VIN tampering and fraud when they decided to abruptly move from California to Oklahoma in 2019. Covid and the move to Oklahoma helped delay these ongoing investigations. Mr. Schaffhouser was told by the Sheriff’s office that they considered R3 a “chop shop.” Mr. Schaffhouser can be reached for addition background information at 951-553-0292. Mr. Schaffhouser has also spoken to Ray’s Probation Officer, Terra Sears, Johannes Van Den Hoogen of the FBI, 949-933-6564, and Joseph Perea of the California DMV Investigations, 951-697-6779, joseph.perea@dmv.ca.gov about Ray and R3.

More recently an R3 customer in Oklahoma, Mr. Thomas Christopher Hall of 4210 Woodmark Drive, Harrah, Oklahoma 73045, phone number 405-249-0280, tchris.hall72@yahoo.com, has filed a complaint with the Broken Arrow Police Department, case number 22-49905, under Detective Mikka Mooney, phone number 918-829-1296, mmooney@brokenarrowok.gov, because his 1968 Ford Mustang, VIN 8F02X17674 was to be “restored” by R3 under the direction of Ray Carmody but the car he received from R3 didn’t have its Ford factory stamped VIN number. Carmody and R3 didn’t restore his car. They built him a car with a new unlicensed and unofficial R3 Mustang body shell and illegally moved his dash VIN tag from his original body shell to this new car. Which is VIN TAMPERING. His original factory stamped VIN number remains on his original body shell, which he has demanded be returned, but has disappeared within the Ray Carmody off-the-books operation somewhere between Oklahoma, Arizona and California. This is THEFT. His original 1968 Ford Mustang fastback body shell, rust and all, is worth about $25,000 as is. Ray Carmody misrepresented that Mr. Hall’s Mustang would retain its value due to R3PP’s Official Mustang and Bronco Body Shell and Reconditioning License from The Ford Motor Company. Ray Carmody knew full well that Mr. Hall’s Mustang wasn’t reconditioned, which simply means restoring his original body shell, and that new body Mustang builds are not as valuable as all-original vehicles. And the R3PP Ford body shell license had expired on September 30th, 2020 BEFORE Mr. Hall’s Mustang was completed and delivered in January 2021. Mr. Hall’s project was not submitted to Ford as a reconditioning nor a new body shell and no licensing fee was paid to Ford. The final invoice given to Mr. Hall at that time says Official Licensed Ford Body Shell Reconditioning, which it was not reconditioned or licensed by Ford. R3 gave Mr. Hall a car, which he has over $200,000 invested in, that he CANNOT legally drive and CANNOT legally sell. This is obviously major FRAUD. BAPD is currently investigating. Mr. Hall filed suit against R3 and Ray Carmody for fraud, unjust enrichment, negligence, breach of contract, etc. under Oklahoma case #CJ-2022-3350 on 11/4/2022.
