We had a loser like that when I was getting the original 409 Chevy Club that I had around 1977 until 1988. This guy found me scanning the ads in the Drag Scoop. That was a free paper given out at Orange County Raceway back in the day when you rolled through the gate.I listed some extra W motor stuff and he attached himself like a leech and wouldn't take the hint to get off. He worked in the laundry room at one of the County hospitals, and he had too much access to a phone with an outside line. He buddied up with some of the people that helped start the Club, and he wore them all out pretty quickly. He always claimed that he knew where to buy brand new forged pistons, new headers, new camshafts, replacement valves, and all kinds of stuff, but he never came through. He also never would tell what brand name any of these supposedly unobtainium parts were. He always wanted a deposit, then he would get a group order together,which never happened. He called Warner Headers in Oceanside, sold him a bill of goods, he made up I estimate 50 sets of headers for 58-64 cars, they were a good header, then said that you had to go through him to buy them to get some kind of a Club member deal. After a few months of BS, Warner called me and told me what was going on. Also, the Club deal was $40.00 off the catalog price, so you know he was trying to skim $40.00 for himself. When and if he ever ordered the headers through Warner, I never found out. Also, by this time, he tried to found a competing 409 Chevy Club called the National 409 Chevy Club, out of Long Beach. We were at the time the Southern California 409 Chevy Club, so Warner sent me a full page ad which I printed for free in my newsletter, the headers sold very well, the national club got cut out, and Doug Marion in Super Chevy printed a story about our Club racing at Orange County and included a list of parts suppliers,whereby we pulled the rug out from under this other guy. He was famous for describing parts for sale that he didn't have, wanting some money up front, and that was the end of it. I always told him to show me the item first, I gotta see it before I'll buy it, another thing he did was to call my members and tell them that he "knew where 409 parts, or a Z-11 short block is, or where there's a junkyard with five 409's in a shed,etc.etc.etc."and that was enough. At the end of that year, my last Newsletter, the Nov-December one, I wrote a total expose' on what a liar he is, what a fraud the National club in Long Beach was, and why he should be prosecuted for mail fraud.I then changed the name of my club to the 409 Chevy Club of America, which name it kept for the next 10 years. I looked him up on Google just for something to do one day, and all I found was his obituary from a few years previously. It described him to a T,except for a factual expose' of what kind of guy he was. It said that he died of natural causes at 66 years of age. Usually,natural causes for that kind of guy involves violence. At least we all found out that he finally got his.
