i purchased this vehicle from dougredwood or otherwise known as Thron Restorations, and its a complete peice of junk. i paid him in full of $39,000 and waited for several momths for its completion or as he put it- a complete restoration to an exact replica of the car in the 2005 movie. during this time when i asked to see vehicle and/or speak with his mechanic numerous times and always i was denied. When i was finally called that it was done and to come pick it up- it was over 4 hours away from my home. i was to meet him in a public parking lot- it seemed strange he never was at the same location everytime we talk, arcata, southern calif, galt, etc. so he took me to see the car, of course it was parked on dirt and impossible to see underneath, i loaded it up on trailer and was able to see a few things that concerned me but i needed to rack it up and inspect. took vehicle home on trailer, when i got home there was trans fluid all over my trailer, apparently the trans dipstick tube wasnt installed right, so i slid under vehcile in my garage, where i found how much he was trying to hide from me, the floor was completely rotted out, speedo cable wasnt even hooked up, my rebiult engine we agreed on was a used peice of crap. i immediately called him, he stated he didnt have any money, i took vehicle to east bay muscle car where i got an estimate just to get this vehicle road worthy, $10,249.00. the owner of east bay muscle cars and i both have talked to doug thron and he no longer taked my phone calls or responds to emails, he did leave me a voice mail stating that he wanted to settle for a $1000.00 and sign a waiver to not let the public know about this- i refused!! BEWARE WHEN DEALING WITH THIS GUY!!!!
