Something just was fishy about this guy...
From US PUBLIC [US GOV'T] Record:
Quote:
Mr. Pardo alleges that he traveled from his residence in New York to St. Charles, Illinois,
where he attended a Corvette auction organized and operated by Mecum. At the auction, Mr.
Pardo placed the high bid and bought a car owned by William and Jan Mullis after viewing a
certificate issued by NCRS that described the vehicle as a 1967 black Corvette. Mr. Pardo
subsequently discovered that the car was actually a 1964 red Corvette. His complaint asserts that
the defendants defrauded him and caused him to purchase the wrong vehicle.

Seems like Mullis could have come up with the barn-find custom, factory-ordered '53 1 of 1 'Polo' BLACK vette
But does Mecum sell ANYthing, without checking? If a seller produces an NCRS Certificate, fresh off of his Lexmark LaserJet, does Mecum just say 'Looks Great'???
Anyone here sold a car through Mecum? Any waivers / dis-claimers / liability releases requiring signatures?
Anyone seen the final disposition on this case? This is DEFINITELY interesting here. Looks like it went through IL 16th JD (
Kane Co), AFTER judge let Mecum off the hook.
One (OR BOTH - WHO KNOWS???) of the below '67's, lot s41 and s42, [dis]respectively, turned out to be a hack - a 'Red '64.
