Default Remember PARCARS in New Rochelle, NY?

The guy who had the John McCarter Powerhaus Turbo S replica for sale? They're out of business, website down and the number no longer in service. So the mystery of where that car is continues. Hopefully John didn't get screwed out of his consignment.

Funny, I tried looking for that car again recently but couldn't find their website. I'm not surprised they are done as the sales guys had absolutely no clue. When they sent me the build sheet from KMR for my car and claimed that was what was done to the car they had for sale - Motec EMS and all - I knew they were full of it.

John,
I would suggest a CarFax. If the car is registered then that will tell you what state it is located in. From there, let us know your findings. I have a number of PCAers in states across the country. I can contact them and ask them to keep an eye out once you get it narrowed down to a specific state.

(post # 40) on the following thread, suggests you all might be talking about the same car...

perhaps the car was moved to this other shop ?

John, I responded to your post on my profile with my email address. Contact me and I will see what I can do. I know your car well and saw it with another potential buyer, while it was at your friend's place in NJ.

This is one of those stories that just breaks my heart. I hate to see good people get screwed.
