![]() I've been out to his place on several occasions. He has a lot of used parts in varying condition. He's a little squirrely but I don't think he's dishonest. I've bought a few minor items, but never anything big. i always thought he was a little high price wise for what he had. I tried to buy a rebuilt 8" 3.50 centersection with a brand new Traction-Lock from him but he wanted $1100. I bought it from Currie for $650 a few years ago. That's the last time I really tried to buy anything from him.

![]() I have dealt with Ted in the past, and I would not recommend him. I tried to buy a hood from him at the Houston Autorama. I told him that I did not want a repro hood and he said that he had an NOS one. I didn't pay close attention to it when I put my deposit down, but when I came by to pick it up I noticed that it had a KSI sticker on it. When I told Ted that it was a repro, he responded by saying, "I thought you knew it was a repro!"
I don't usually like to talk down about other people, but I really wouldn't trust Ted. I have also talked to other people who had Ted pull similiar stunts on them too. A common trick of his when selling you something is to leave out a critical part. Then he will insist that you have to pay extra to get the missing part. Simply amazing! Ted may have a lot of good stuff. But if you can't go there to look him in the eye, then I would pass on any "deals" that he may have. Sorry for the rant, but this guy makes my skin crawl... ------------------ 2000 GT -- Black, 5sp, Mach460, Bassani CatBack & X-Pipe, MAC Cold Air, 70mm Tbody, Hurst Shifter 1966 Mustang Coupe -- Tahoe Turquoise, Pony Int, A-Code, C4 Auto ------------------ scott@pearland.com |
