I am looking for a very knowledgeable person to do an in depth inspection on a '67 435hp coupe. The car is located near Cleveland,Ohio. I will pay professional rate for high quality in depth inspection.

Pancho is my number one choice. But so far unable to get in contact with him. No answer to pm,email or phone call.

I also used Pancho and while he did give me a comprehensive evaluation of the parts of the car he could see, he didn't get the car on a lift to examine the underpinnings of the car which turned out to require a lot of work. I had to repair or replace all the suspension and brakes to make the car safe and roadworthy. A lot of attention had been paid to the car's cosmetics by previous owners but none had been given to the parts that aren't seen. So, make sure you tell Pancho to get the car on a lift and do a full mechanical evaluation and not just cosmetic.

I'm not criticizing Pancho because I didn't stress to him what I wanted. I assumed too much and didn't demand enough, so my bad, not Pancho's. Just make sure you task him to do a full & thorough evaluation.

I think I know what the problem maybe and will try to contact him tonight. If I were you I would now contact SolidAxle, who also lives in the area. Chuck is as knowledgeable as Pancho, in fact he was my first choice years ago but was getting married the weekend I needed the inspection done and he ask Pancho to do it. Both are very good.

BTW, my guess is that one of them may have already checked it out.
Good luck.

I did end up catching up with Pancho. He has been dealing with some medical issues. The good news is he is on the mend.
As you guessed he already knew the car. He gave me a great detailed description. Unfortunately this car like way too many is a made up 435hp with a trim tag change on top it. Worse the seller was made aware last year by Provette67 about what is car really is. Yet he is choosing to try and pass the car off as "real deal "
