my only goal with the noted red barracuda was to bring a potential legal issue to the attention of fellow FABO members. as the values of collector cars continue to increase either due to the rarity of a particular car or market fluctuations, the opportunities and temptation for misrepresenting various vehicles for financial gain also increase. after 28 years of practicing law i have learned one important lesson above all - it is ALWAYS better to avoid a lawsuit in the first place than it is to have to go to court to correct a mistake.
i would urge everyone to inspect and investigate any car they intend to purchase as completely as they can before they hand someone a handful of cash or a check. and remember, it doesn't matter how nice or valuable a car is - if the GOVERNMENT says there's something wrong with it and won't issue a title or a license plate, all you're going to end up with is a VERY expensive lawn ornament or "plaything" to drive in a parking lot or on and off of a car trailer to and from a car show.
