I was going to buy a Firebird that he was selling a while back. A few other guys here had apparently owned it and all of them had gotten rid of it before it was raced. Paul Spotts was one of the owners. If I hadn't e-mailed him and asked him about the car, I would have never found out that it was in an accident before and the frame rail had been repaired. Paul said it looked OK, but.....
After I heard about that, plus the cars long history of owners, all of which decided NOT to race the car, I decided to pass on the car. I don't know if I ever would have gotten the whole story out of John or not.
This was my only experience in dealing with him and he didn't rip me off, but I didn't get the whole story from him either.
