Flemings Ultimate Garage Inaccurate Ad Description Rockville, Maryland

I purchased a 1969 Camaro SS/RS from Flemings for 49.9. The car was advertised as "original" with 12 bolt posi. After numerous delays, I finally received the car and discovered that it was NOT original. The intake manifold was from a late-model 80's Chevrolet and was aluminum and simply painted orange. Likewise, the Rochester carb was from a late model and simply painted gold. Both front springs were broken in several places. Since owning this car, I have put another 5K into making necessary repairs to make it safe and drivable. I take FULL responsibility for my decision to purchase the car. What I do NOT take responsibility for is the INACCURATE advertisement of this as being an "original" car. Likewise, the fact Flemings advertised it as a 12 bolt posi rear end and discovering it was NOT posi, is just wrong. I paid a local shop $1500 for an Eaton posi/install and am happy with the car. I sent Matt an e-mail detailing the advertisement discrepency (with photos of their ad stating it was a posi rear) requesting $1500 to offset my cost for the rear end. So far, I have not received a reply.

It bears mentioning that many of us who collect and purchase classic cars are a close community. Rip off one, then you rip us all off. I am not holding my breath that Flemings will make this right, but I want to WARN anyone considering purchasing a high-end classic car to look elsewhere-- They are long on promises and SHORT on delivery! Please feel free to contact me if anyone would like to hear more (...and there is more).
