I did ask Rich,(enoch) about this incident after I noticed him on Fbook awhile ago.(Please don't ask me to talk to Rich today,or follow up on anything as I haven't been in touch with him since.I'm only sharing here what he told me back then..period.)
Here is what he told me:"Hi Rick,sure that was dealt with many years ago.The shell of that car was beyond repair and it's just when dynacorn was beginning to reproduce them.I advised the customer that he needed to get one to continue.He became sick and was injured and several years past.Then at that point we again tried to move forward.There was delays on both sides scheduling and needing the replacement shell.The customer chose not to move forward & claimed it a total loss with his insurance company,and was then paid in full by them.At which point we sent photo documents of all the parts for the car to the insurance company (several years ago) ****which we still have in our possession to this day.**** THEY WERE NEVER sold ... And we asked the insurance company to come get the parts several times.The said they would,but never did.There's much more to it than that. But that's all that needs to be said.As we never sold parts from his or any other car.And we haven't worked on cars in over 10 years.As my knees and back gave out and that's why I sell just parts today,but I do drive all over the country to look for more parts today.Thanks for asking,I appreciate it."

I had trouble after paying for parts and not getting them. I kept pushing him thru emails and finally the parts showed up.

Just a final follow-up on my personal experience for anyone that is thinking about going this route for parts.

I ordered 3 full kits plus some extra stuff (lugnuts etc.) - I think 4 "kits" were offered - engine, chassis, etc..) as my car came with very little. I didn’t need the engine kit.
I started the order process in May 2024. Fully paid in July 2024. Several dates were given for "ready to deliver" - Sept, Nov, Feb, April. Every time it was "just one more week". There was always an excuse as to why it’s taking more time.

At the end of May 2025, after ~100 emails and texts - they arrived. But..

The order was incomplete (about 1/4 of the pieces were missing). There was no notice that anything was missing nor was there an invoice/checklist, so I had to do my own reconciliation.

Second issue was that some of the items were not as requested (wrong markings on bolt heads) and what was sent was commercially available bolts/markings at 1/4 the price from well-known repo places.

So, the dance continued. 100 more text messages with more excuses – surgeries, moving shops, deaths in the family (that one I cant fault), and, no joke, “I dropped my phone in a bucket of water and lost my contacts”..

Now it’s nearly October 2025. Over 65 weeks after I placed my order. Apparently the last 20 items are now in the mail. We’ll see.

Happy for those that had a good experience with this seller, just wanted to post mine with the strongest "do not recommend". Just don’t do it.
