Beware of this man

Unknown

Hello all,

This thread has been posted to the H8 group also and may have more

relevance there, however, you may run across this individual.

I hesitate to start this thread but for the good of anyone who might

have dealings with Howard Musolf III, Seattle, WA, please beware!

He is the president of the local Horseless Carriage Club in the

northwest.

Howard is restoring a 1931 H8 boattail speedster that his father

purchesed many years ago. He has had ads looking for parts and may

contact people who are selling '31 Hudson parts. I furnished him

with a front welled fender and a headlight stantion in trade (his

idea) for carb heat riser, water pump, bumper medallions and window

handles. My parts were shipped very early this year, (trade was made

December 2007) at my expense, approx $400 worth with shipping and to

this date nothing but promises have arrived from Musolf. He now

refuses to answer phone calls, or emails.

To my chagrin, I told a friend about 1930 parts Howard wanted to sell

as a lot. They made a deal, my friend paid over $2000 for the lot

and received about 3/4 of the promised items and he also has not

gotten any thing but promises from Howard about the remaining

items. Another friend had rare items taken off his bench when

Howard and his associate visited him. So in all, we have been robbed

of over $1000 in parts.



We all thought old car hobbyists were honorable and have never had a

problem before, but are now poorer and wiser. If you know Howard or

ever are contacted by him, BEWARE!!



Have a good day!
