Hi folks, I purchased a 69 dash pad about 1 month ago from ebay. I paid immediatly. Still waiting to receive it. Seller's ebay name camaro19691969. His real name is Matthue P. Crawford from Springfield OH. I paid using paypal and I just filed a claim with them. Just thought I'd let you know. Should have known by the ebay name.
Thanks for the heads up David (David69bird). Also thought I'd pass this on regarding another bad "actor". The guys real name is Gene LeBlanc from Moultrie, GA., email was/is one or both of the following: gmparts@alltel.net and/or classicparts@alltel.net. I bid on a set of original rally I wheels including all the accessories on his ebay site...didn't win the auction. He emailed me and said he had another set if I was interested...I was. Paid him a fair amount in May 2002 sent me four wheels (one was bent, I sent it back) and no accessories. Ultimately I never did get the fourth wheel and never got the centers and caps. Through telephone and emails he agreed to return $300 to me for none delivery of the items...As of today (7-13-06) I haven't seen a penny.
Well guess what showed up at my door. The guy sent me the dash pad. It took 6+ weeks, a claim with Paypal and many phone messages. The "great condition" dash pad has no cracks but the metal core is very badly rusted and one side is completly gone. I would hate to see what he calls fair condition.
David, I've had a dash pad that was like that..The "legs' are rusted? I was able to tackweld the legs of my cracked pad to the nicer pad without disturbing the vinyl
