I bought this car in July, 2014, serial number UE1S26068, from IAG Motors in Pompano Beach Florida and was completely deceived by the sales owner - Mr. Stuart Seigle. He said he fully restored the car and it actually had not been. After waiting for months the car was delivered up north and immediately the engine and all of the drive train needed full seal replacements and the lack of any engine work showed that the anti-freeze in the car had not been cleaned out. In fact, the anti-freeze had solidified in the engine. The car eventually broke a valve and went into the cylinder head - causing the entire engine to seize. Anyone buying this car needs to be fully aware of the problems with it and that there are other issues with the power train. The car was worked on my Tristate Classic Car Restoration in New Jersey and was not operable after their work. It was sold to Tristate in June, 2015 and it may very well go back to IAG Motors to sell it again after fixing the engine. These two companies know each other. Let the buyer beware! This car has a checkered past.

The most recent advertisement on this car at Tristate Classic Restorations in New Jersey on their website indicates that this is a one owner car. That is not correct. The owner history has, including myself, had more than 3 owners.
As mentioned, this car has gone thru significant engine repair for a dropped valve plus other important mechanical and cosmetic issues. Despite all of the restoration performed, let the buyer beware!!
