    Not sure I can concur on this recco. Nice guy, very chatty, but he missed a bunch of really basic stuff for me. Only charged $250, so I guess you get what you pay for. When I got the car home I had my own guy do a "post" PI (7 hours for $1000) and he found the CV boots were torn, the fuel door wouldn't open, sway bar bolt snapped, etc. None of it was a deal breaker, but had I known I would have had some negotiation leverage on a car represented as perfect/needs nothing.

    I agree with the 100% on Earl Gibbs and Doug Talbert as well. I've know Earl for 25 years or more.

    I am 10 minutes from Twinsburg, if you want a quick look around, I'd be happy to help no charge. I am not that familiar with 360's, I did a lot of Porsche and Road race car PPI's back in the day. Good luck, Bryan.

    proper PPI on 360F1 needs SD2 scanner to check clutch wear and other electronic issues not to mention catalyst concerns..should include cosmetic going over also,belly pan condition,bolster wear,sticky,etc.
