Really, do we need to read these pointless comments every day now while attempting to advertise your website? You might as well make a generic comment while linking to some viagra website. Your website is far from worth visiting daily, so lay off already.

If you're going to look at these treasures, bring a magnet. A big one, and be prepared to do a lot of crawling under and over. Also, bring an extendable mirror, and a strong flashlight. And look for missing or replaced VIN's. It ain't worth much if you can't title it.

Ironically these parts should go for about what a fiberglass Shelby replica kit car shell would go for.

Imagine the auctioneer:

"40 gallons of Bondo in shape of '67 Mustang Fastback, going, going, gone!"

What a messed up business

Look what I found digging through some court docs on the Unique
Performance Vehicle Seizure, no wonder they canned the head detective
on the case.

The whole mess with customer cars being seized was caused by
insinuations from John Luft and a truck driver?



AFFIDAVIT FOR SEARCH WARRANT

THE STATE OF TEXAS [338 DESVOIGNES RD]
COUNTY OF GRAYSON [Denison, Grayson County, Texas]

The undersigned Affiant, being a Peace Officer under the laws of Texas
and being duly sworn, on oath makes the following statements and
accusations:

1. There is in Grayson County, Texas, a suspected place and premises
described and located as follows: A barn, located at 338 Desvoignes
Road, Denison, Grayson County Texas. The barn is red with white trim.
There is a white picket fence around the barn. There are three barns
on the property and the barn in question is the second one from the
residence. According to Grayson Central Appraisal District the
property is listed as Property lD 113345 (Real), Geo lD 074 1311010,
G-1311 WRIGHT WILLIAM A-G1311.

2. There is at said suspected place implements or instruments used in
the commission of a crime and,/or property or items constituting an
offense or constituting evidence tending to show that a particular
person committed an offense, to wit: Titling records, sales records,
customer files, vehicles with incorrect VIN numbers and any other
document or instrument used to facilitate fraudulent activity.

3. Said suspected place and premises are in charge of and controlled
by each of the following persons: Linda Davis, owner as listed on
Grayson County tax rolls.

4. It is the belief of Affiant, and he hereby charges and accuses that:

On or about the 2nd day of October 2007,at 13950 Senlac D rive Suite#
300, Farmers Branch, Dallas County, Texas, Unique Performance was
found to be in possession of a red 1967 Ford Mustang fastback bearing
VIN 7F01C216874. Said VIN belongs to a 1967 Ford Mustang hardtop and
did not belong to the car in which it was assigned. During an
investigation into this vehicle, Douglas Hasty, the owner of Unique
Performance, ordered that it be removed from the shop and concealed on
private property in Denison. Texas.

5. Affiant has probable cause for said belief by reason of the
following facts: On October 2nd 2007 Farmers Branch Police contacted
Douglas Hasty with Unique Performance in reference to a complaint that
his company was not returning a customer vehicle. The customer had
provided a faxed copy of the title to his vehicle. When Douglas Hasty
showed this defective the vehicle in question, t he VIN number
(7F01C16874) did not match the VIN number on the title issued to the
customer (7F02C127565). On a 1967 Mustang VlN, the 3rd and 4th
character of 01 means that the vehicle is a hardtop. If the 3rd and
4th character of the VIN is an 02, then the vehicle is a fastback.
This model information was verified using www.decodethis.com and the
validity of the information was verified by Sgt. Rex Wilemon of the
Texas Department of Public Safety Since the fastback vehicle in
question is bearing the VIN to a hardtop, it is displaying an altered
identification number. Douglas Hasty initially stated that they had
replaced the front clip of the vehicle. To do so without a TXDOT
formVTR-68A (law enforcement vehicle inspection form) is a violation
of section 31.11 of the Texas Penal Code regarding Tampering with
Identification Numbers. A TXDOT title history of this vehicle revealed
that no such form had been filed by Unique Performance. When informed
of the potential violation Douglas Hasty stated that the wrong title
had been issued to the owner and that the vehicle had not undergone a
VlN number change. During my investigation into this event, I was
contacted by John Luft, an attorney for Carroll Shelby Enterprises,
informing me that he had a former employee of Unique Performance that
was willing to provide information. This employee was employed by the
company for approximately two years as their transport driver and was
very recently laid off from Unique Performance due to budgetary
restraints and the loss of the Carroll Shelby licensing. This
informant states that Douglas Hasty ordered him on October 17th to
haul this and two other vehicles to a barn located at a private
residence located at 338 Desvoignes Road, Denison, Grayson County
Texas. The informant did show this detective where this residence was,
to include which barn the vehicles had been located within. The
informant also states that he was ordered to remove 17 additional
vehicles, which he relocated to an abandoned warehouse located at 811
Betterton Circle, Dallas. He also states that he is personally aware
of over 30 additional vehicles that were relocated to 11607 Denton
Drive, Dallas. Additionally he states that numerous other vehicles
(unknown number) were moved t o a building leased by Unique
Performance at 13995 Diplomat Drive Suite # 200, Farmer Branch. The
informant state that these moves were done to prevent law enforcement
from locating the vehicles for inspection.
On 11/01/2007 search warrants were executed at the Betterton Circle,
Senlac Drive, Diplomat Drive and Denton Drive addresses given by the
informant and all of the information provided by him proved to be true
and valid.

WHEREFORE, Affiant asks for issuance of a warrant that will authorize
him to search said suspected place and premises for criminal evidence
and seize the same.

Do you honestly think UP would have sent three cars to a millionaire's
house (potential investor) in Denison if they were processed illegally
or tried to hide some 100 cars that they had in process from the local
police department?
