Robert,
You might get some specific, helpful information from the members if you let us know what state the seller is in. Also, if you wanted to post the dealer and vehicle info (your choice) there might be a chance someone on the board saw the car and could offer evidence that the car was misrepresented. As an example, about a month ago I saw a 1971 HO 455 trans am listed on ebay that was a few miles from my house. It was suppossed to be "numbers matching". A potential buyer, who was out of state, contacted a friend of mine who put him in contact with me. He called, and agreed to go look at the car. The car did not sell on ebay so the seller consigned it to a local classic car dealer who said he was not knowledgeable about Pontiacs. Well the car was a very poor restoration to say the least, and not numbers matching as advertised. The block and carb were restamps and the distributer was out of a 68 Pontiac 350 2 barrel car. The paint and body work were horrible and the interior wasn't much better. They actually installed the new headliner right over the dome light, so the light was under the headliner. I was very detailed in my description of the problems to the dealer. The next week I see it on their website for thousands more than previously advertised. My point is this, I could articulate in court that the dealer is aware of the true condition of the car. He could not claim he didn't know. So, if it comes down to it you might want to let the board members know what car it was and who the dealer is. Maybe someone saw the car and could offer evidence that would help your case.
Good luck. And if it came from central California, let me know.
