Location: Wisconsin | He has been kicked out of multiple magazines for ripping people off and is a repeat offender. He also goes by the name Imperial Johnny, FYI. |

Whats not funny is the crazy prices lots of sellers ask for parts for these cars. Some are just dreamers. In saying that very occasionally some sellers offer good prices. Steve.

It's been years since I bought anything from him but...
in all fairness, I've never heard anyone claim they sent him money and did not receive something in return unlike many other Forwardlook vendors.
I won't dispute any other accusations about him as he is definitely a unique character and has an unusual method of business.
My original comment was an inside joke for those that had talked with him on the phone, you'd hear him punching away on a typewriter in the background making his own address labels for packages. |

Location: Wisconsin | Maybe you haven't heard it, but there have been cases where he has not shipped parts paid for, hence why he has been kicked out of multiple publications as an advertiser. |

In Florida now! Was in Arizona. Mind you, his area 602 telephone numbers are Arizona while the 863 is Florida.
According to one buyer, seller cancelled sale as he wanted more money. His 84% satisfaction was with 13 buyers.
Looks like not much has changed in the last decade.

Location: Perth Australia | I bought some stuff off him not long before he disappeared and was happy with what I received
Yes, it was pricey, but it was NOS and he had multiples of them. I was actually going to buy him out of them, but we couldn't make a deal at the time.
A while later, he contacted me offering the items at my price, but for me, that ship had sailed
He actually offered me his house and all his wrecks in Arizona and I did think about it for a brief time

| You have to be bad to get that low of a feedback. A 'nut case' he is.... |

| I actually stopped by his place in Florida and picked up a load of parts in November. I had bought quite a bit before that and was very happy with the quality of parts and prices. Never had a problem with not receiving items.
$1000 for a set of Lebaron badges is insane though. |
