Herby Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I want to make restorers aware of a bad situation I am having with a parts seller. His name is Ron Memmer and he owns Ron's Classic Cutlass in Monticello, Indiana. He has 3 warehouses filled with New Old Stock parts for Olds 442 and Cutlass. He found out I had some of the rarest 442 parts in existence and stopped by and offered to purchase them. He spent alot of time telling me about his business and how he was honest. I believed him and like a fool took his business check as payment. That was 3 years ago. He texted me after leaving with my parts saying the check was no good, he would pay me later. He gave me a story as to why he could not return the parts. I am posting this so no one else gets burned. He are the actual text conversation between Ron Memmer and me: Edited July 25, 2021 by Herby added photos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 He actually texted me that he couldn't pay me because his money was going to pay the guy restoring a 1969 Hurst Olds that he bought, he even brags about that car on his website. Its been suggested that he pulls this trick on people, and when the value of the parts double over time, he then pays the original price on the checks. Its like getting free parts.

Herby Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yes, except in this case he sold the parts and kept all the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
