Look carefully at any offering by Florida Muscle & Speed before you bid on his auction.

Seller grossly misrepresented vehicle. The vehicle I received from Florida Muscle and Speed, has lots of rust, floors are rotted out, the rear window sill is rotted out. Seller claimed only surface rust on undercarriage. Seller claimed matching numbers, they do not. There many problems with this vehicle.

Now this dealer has decided to sell boats. Beware of his rating, He has no feed back on current items listed. All feed back is for other items not boats!

BeWare, Beware, of this seller!

Florida Muscle and Speed rating system leaves a lot to interpretation. A potential buyer needs to pay very close attention to the pictures posted and of any description of vehicles by this seller. More importantly look for what is not shown or described. His description of surface rust might turn out to be a rotted out floor or rear window. Unless he shows pictures of the area he describes be very wary of his descriptions.

The potential buyers needs to ask a lot of questions via the ask-seller system, especially if they are not able to personally inspect a vehicle and should INSIST that Florida Muscle and Speed COMPLETE the DEAL on E-BAY, it is an ebay violation to complete the deal outside of ebay.

Also keep copies of any communication with this seller, especially the ebay listing showing the number of bidders and bids during the auction.

This is part of his introduction. " We have been selling Classic and Muscle cars on eBay for many years and have built a reputation of honesty and trust with our customers that is second to none. We have an excellent feedback rating on ebay and are here to stay............We have over 600 Transactions on eBay and a feedback rating over 99% Positive. Also, we are an eBay Power Seller. This means we sell tens of thousands of dollars worth of cars on eBay every month.

He has only been selling since October of 2004 , to me, that is not "many years". .....Where is his proof that he has sold "tens of thousands of dollars worth of cars on eBay every month." It does not reflect in his feedback ratings. His high ratings are primarily for buying.

READ HIS FEEDBACK CAREFULLY! Most of his feedback is related to items he buys. NOT to what he sells, there is little feedback from buyers of his vehicles. Look at the RATIO of feedback on items he sells to the items he buys. Ebay motor sellers rely on the feedback system to show potential buyers who and how they will be treated when dealing with online auctions/sellers. This seller has little feedback from buyers of his vehicles. Be cautious of this!

Be very cautious of Florida Muscle and Speed auctions,........ research before you bid!

Be cautious of bidding patterns with any auction.

Any mis-dealings with this seller should be reported to E-bay, the Florida Attorney General, the Florida Department of Highway and Motor Vehicle Safety authority which oversee Florida dealer licenses, go to <myflorida.com> for links. You should also contact other agencies such as IC3.com and the FBI, State and local police authorities dealing with computer crime in your area as well as Titusville Florida, the US Postal Authorities. Almost all can be done on line.Look carefully at any offering by Florida Muscle & Speed before you bid on his auction
