I don't know how they are to deal with now, but I remember reading about a 64 GTO they got called out on several years ago - it was a clone. That said, once it was brought to light he did the right thing and refunded the guys money in full. Whether or not he knew in advance - who knows? They primarily deal with Vettes, but usually have a good supply of Goats too.
<edit> here's that article BTW... http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...cle-cars_x.htm

I would give you my opinion of Mershon...but it's more personal, not business. He lives about a 1/4 mile from me and I would like to......never mind.
Having said that here is a story on the business side of things: I had a 71 TA that was completely correct except for the block itself. It had the H.O. heads, correct carb, etc. The guy I sold it to traded it to Mershon. Mershon sold it as 100% correct. The guy contacted us and of course we had to tell him the block was incorrect (we built it). I heard that Mershon took it back but then sold it again still representing it as 100% correct. I heard this information second hand so it's hard to say if it's true.

I know Mershon family from the Corvette world. Never heard anything negative about them.

My philosophy
My philosophy is that seller's reputation doesn't matter... To the extent a buyer relies on a seller's reputation or anything the seller says is naive and to the buyer's disadvantage.
Buyers should independently verify any information they use to make a buying decision, and if a particular item can't be verified except via the "word" of the seller, then make the decision assuming that item is not true.

I worked for Barry Lobeck quit a few years ago and he knew Mershon fairly well, I had heard of a few bad stories from him.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
