Widow w/kids seeks $13,000 from Ashville area auto shop specializing in vintage Pontiacs and Camaros - 9 aliases - 3 shops in Black Mountain, Fairview, and Swannanoa. They promised they would build a Bandit for my husband. He died only 3 days after paying in full. All I got was a very small partial refund (it keeps the police off their back), a worthless piece of paper, & a lot of lies. Well over $500,000 in cars/refunds owed to dozens of other victims. It's been over 5 months and the owner refuses all communication. I have a signed contract from owner's stepson/build coordinator as well as e-mails from owner with his promise to honor contract and policy for widows. All expired long ago.
