Hi Deb, sad news , I hope you didn't sign the title over to him did you? If you didn't at least you have $1200. to get repairs started, if its as clean as you say its worth a nice new motor and you'll be all set. If you did give the jerk the title , lawyer is the way to go. good luck , see you at the dragon. You should have advertised the mustang on this site, much nicer people to deal with!
